I believe that being heroic is doing something for the good of others. To me, anyone can be a hero. It does not take a cape and superpowers to be a hero. Those are just the ones we know and love the most. We have all heard of Batman and Superman. They are a good kind of hero, but there are also good heroes in real life.

To me, a hero can do many things. I think that anyone that is helping out the good of others is a hero. There are different levels of heroes, but they are all doing something good. I think another thing is doing something good most of the time. You can’t just do something good once and call yourself a hero. There are lots of things that need to be done in this world to help people out.

I don’t know if we use the term hero for people anymore. We label them as a hero at the time they are doing something good. Every time you hear the names: Batman and Superman, you think hero. When people do something good, it is more of a “you’re my hero” and that is it. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is only in the “you saved my life” situations. It is good to be a hero at one point in your life.

On the other hand, being villainous is doing something not good for other people. It is just the opposite of being a hero. You do things to hurt people and get pure enjoyment out of it. This is like being the Joker or the Green Goblin. They both enjoyed watching people die. Being villainous is not a good thing. It is mean and evil.

Sometimes being villainous can come from your life experiences. I think of serial killers. Typically something has happened to the person as a kid or any other time and set them off. I think if you ever kill someone, that makes you a villain. It is not right to kill people because you want to. It is not your right to walk around and kill innocent people because you feel like it.

Being villainous is not only killing people. That just tends to be the outcome of it. It can also include torturing someone or sabotaging them. It is not a good thing to hurt people. Being villainous is not something that anyone should do or be. It is not a good thing for anyone. It may help some people that are villainous to kill people and it may make them feel good,  but is not helping anyone else. It is being selfish and greedy.

Like you said in class, being heroic means that you like doing things to help other people, and being villainous is the things you don’t like in life. I don’t think anyone should murder or kill anyone so that is being villainous to me. I like to help people in life and do good things for others, so in my opinion, that is being a hero. I think it is that simple.

            You have to wonder what truth is and what gives us the right to think what we think. Everybody has the right to think what they want. Where is the fine line between what we think and the truth? I think that truth is a matter of opinion. That sounds kind of weird, but truth means something different to everyone and that is okay. Some people though, do not allow other people’s opinions and that is wrong.

            I think that truth is very important to today’s society. I think that many people just disregard truth and the value that it should have. There are many things that would be better off in our world if they were based on truth. Relationships are one example of that. I don’t just mean romantic relationships, but any relationship. More often than not, in today’s society, relationships are built on what brings pleasure sooner than later. This is important, but there are many other characteristics to a good and “healthy” relationship. This is just one example, but it is an important one.

            Fact is another interesting subject.  I personally believe that a fact is something that is proven. This brings up many interesting conversations though. Because when we say it is proven, what does that mean exactly? Everyone uses different sources to “prove” things are true.
For example, when people are Christian, many of them use the Bible to prove that those things are facts. To someone who does not believe that though, the Bible is completely fake. I think that it is nearly impossible, if not completely impossible, to prove anything. There is always data that is for topics and against topics. There are certain people that agree with certain things and others who disagree on that same topic. Honestly, I do not know if I can define a fact. It is different in everyone’s eyes.

            I took ethics during the summer. That class really opened my eyes to all the possibilities of different beliefs that come attached to all subjects. One that comes to mind is abortion. There are so many different situations that can come up that can slightly change your opinion on a certain subject. I really enjoyed that class because it let me freely express my opinion even though people did disagree with me. That is what I like about these blogs too. I can feel free to say my opinion. Not everyone always feels self-conscious enough to give their true opinion. This is easily explained. So many times, people have their opinion shot down just because it might be different and not the most commonly accepted. As I said, that is one thing that I think needs to change. Everybody needs to be more accepting of others’ beliefs and opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on everything and that is what should be. They should not have to worry about their own thoughts being criticized I believe this can change easily if everyone just opens up their minds a little bit.  

First Blog

I have always struggled with spelling so I dislike writting papers because of that. I like writing if it is a good topic I just stuggle to come up with the words. Like I said I like to write if it is something interesting. I hate to read. Sometimes but rarely am I in the mood to read. I get headache a lot when I read but I am a very hands on person so I like to play games more.
