Like
most people, I rarely if ever have to make a moral decision that could greatly impact
society, but superheroes, as we discussed in class, have to deal with these
decisions every day. Unlike superheroes,
my morality is only tested in very small isolated situation that have little or
no repercussions. Just recently my morality was tested before I came back to
school. My cousin and some of his friends were visiting Chicago and decided
that they wanted to go out. With little thought, I agree that we should go out.
Towards the end of the night they started to get a little overzealous and one
of them got the bright idea of taking the antennas off some random cars and
invited me to join them. As soon as he asked me I said no and tried to convince
him to stop. The reason I told him to stop was not because I felt that I would
be harmed by his actions, but because I believe in the proverb “treat others
how you would like to be treated.”
Superheroes
for one reason or another think that it is very important have a secret
identity. To them the secret identity gives them away to escape the hard life
of a superhero. It offers them a normal life and at the same time protects their
friends and love ones from villains who might wish to do them harm. In my own
life I have many different identities. Such identities include family’s Carlos,
outgoing Carlos, and school’s Carlos. Each one of these identities has their
own pros and cons and only appears in certain time of the day or locations. An
example would be of family’s Carlos, he only comes out when he is around his
family. He is a protector, helpful, and also respectful to his older relatives.
On flip side outgoing Carlos, he is a party animal, does not know the word
“no,” a flirt, and is capable of making any night a great night. Balancing these
two identities and the others can sometimes be difficult, but I can manage it.
The way I manage it is by evaluating where I am at and who I am with. The
people I am around greatly affect which identity comes out.
