The romantic image

Wild-wild west, that’s what West is often seen as. West is often seen as “masculine west” where man conquers the “Virgin Land” (Neil Campbell, Alasdair Kean, 1997). The romantic image of the lonely cowboy riding his horse to the sunset and his heroism in saving the society from the injustice are often selected to portray the western society. This is strengthened by the Hollywood movies about cowboys and the west. The concept of taming the wilderness of west still persists until now.
