The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The question has no options, so my answer will be the following.

The film "The Life of an American Fireman" of 1903 portrays the figure of the fireman as a committed public worker that shows characteristics such as courage, determination, commitment, and that he is willing to risk his life in order to safe the lives of people who are in danger. This helped to shape the American culture in that people saw these firemen as heroes that deserved so much honor and respect.
