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.]

Pretty much what's been said already. You should feel a responsibility to your fellow, ah, people no matter if you're superpowered or not. You should use the resources that you have, superpowers or money or whatever, to do what's right.

But I think more than anything, if you've got power, you need to make sure you use it responsibly. That's important for you and for everyone else. You have to make sure you're not being exploited and you have to make sure you're not exploiting others because you have power.
