Westerns

Westerns are a genre of stories set in the American West during the late 19th to early 20th centuries, often focusing on cowboys, outlaws, lawmen, and Native Americans. They typically explore themes of adventure, justice, morality, and the struggle between civilization and the untamed frontier. Common elements include saloons, shootouts, and the rugged landscape. Western films, books, and television shows have shaped perceptions of American culture and its history, encapsulating ideals of bravery and individualism while also addressing complex social issues. Notable examples include classic films like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Shane."
