Philosophy classroom: Ethics class #4, Monday, 2-4pm

[brambless.livejournal.com]

"Today's topic is power and responsibility, and I would like to remind you all that your grade comes from your discussion, not your presence. If you don't feel comfortable talking, write something down and hand it in to me. Being a silent warm body in the classroom is no different than not turning up."

[ooc: And I would remind you that I leave posts open for the whole week. If you post 'shows up and takes a seat' I know you're still alive, but you need to actually address the discussion topics to pass the class.]

"Well a superhero is expected to keep people safe and secure. You don't want the ones you care about to be hurt, so you put on a facade." Sydney says, she knew a bit about that. "You're still expected to follow the rules, you're not above the law and there are real consequences for the actions that you take, justice is not revenge." She feels like the biggest hypocrite saying that, since she wants to kill the people that killed Vaughn, but it was true.

"Okay... you're expected to keep people safe and secure. That's a responsibility of the powers. Do you get to take a day off? Are you allowed vacation time, or a personal life?"

"I think what's important to recognize is that superheroes are people too, and they deserve the same rights, responsibilites, and everything that an everyday person can have, but society puts pressure on them to be different."
