Avengers Vices
Avengers
By: Gabby Z. The Avengers was a great movie that portrayed the vices and virtues in modern movies. There were a lot of Vices in the movie and a lot of people who ignored what they were supposed to do because the vice took over them. This happens a lot in our everyday lives the vice takes over and we become a different person, ignoring God’s call. The three Avengers I chose to write about are Iron Man for his Pride, Loki for his Greed, and the Hulk for his Wrath. I think that Iron Man had a lot of Pride. This Vice interfered with his mission because he constantly wanted everything to be about himself so he cast the other Avengers aside so he could do it by himself. At one part in the movie when they were trying to calm Thor down

The Hulk had a lot of wrath. The wrath consumed him so that he was using his gift for the worst. In one part of the movie when the corner of the ship was blown off parts of debris hit the Hulk. This angered him very much. So he turned from the doctor into the Hulk and basically went on a rampage throughout the ship, hurting and destroying whatever came in his way. The Hulk could have turned towards justice to solve this vice, but he was so consumed in the anger that he could not see above it. People today suffer from Wrath a lot. The littlest fight can turn into a grudge and if you hold onto that grudge for long enough eventually you have lots of Wrath towards that person. People today should turn towards justice and forgiveness because nothing comes out of your anger besides broken friendships and relationships. We all have our vices and they are going to get in the way all the time, but we need to learn to get back up and strive towards virtuous lives. All of the Avengers had little and big vices but in the end they were able to cast away the vices and work together for the safety of other people. Vice and Virtue are connected by Virtues being a way to reverse or bring the good out of a Vice. You should fight against vices to live a good virtuous life. We should strive to eliminate the vices in our lives because if we do then we will be eternally rewarded in Heaven

    Virtues are character strengths consistently applied to moral decision making. They show positive patterns of behavior. However, vices are negative patterns of behavior, often harmful to one's self or others. The seven virtues are faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. The seven deadly sins are pride, envy, gluttony, lust, wrath, greed, and sloth. Practicing one virtue can protect one from the temptation to perform an act which is sinful.…

    Having too much power changes a person. In the movie Avengers, Loki is driven by the power he has and does things he shouldn’t do and then tries to do things he thinks is right at the expense of others, just like Creon from the play Antigone. The play Antigone by Sophocles is about Creon becoming king of Thebes and his first order was to give one of his nephews a proper burial and the other one just leave him out without being buried. Antigone, Creon’s niece disobeys and buries her brother. Creon finds out that it was his niece who disobeyed his first order. He keeps his word about killing whoever disobeyed his order. I am connecting the play Antigone to power because the character Creon has to much power since he is the king. The power he…

    As I read the book,” Frankenstein” by Mary Shelly, I felt like the monsters violence was unjustified. His violent out burst were for revenge. When the monster didn’t get a female companion it made him angry and sad. He cant get any one remotely like him. No one to know what he feels on the day to day basis. But that doesn’t give him the right to kill or hurt people. He killed William, Elizabeth, and Henry; just to get back at Victor. That’s a perfect example on how unjustified the monsters actions were. He shouldn’t have felt justified to take someone’s life, bit since he felt alone he wanted everyone around him to feel what he felt every second of his life. The monster just wanted to feel like a normal being in a world full of differences.…

    There are seven deadly sins that, once committed, diminish the prospect of eternal life and happiness in heaven. They are referred to as deadly because each sin is closely linked to another, leading to other greater sins. The seven deadly sins are pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, avarice, and lechery. Geoffrey Chaucer 's masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, provided an excellent story about the deadly sins. Focusing mainly on the sins of pride, gluttony and greed, the characters we find in The Canterbury Tales, particularly “The Pardoner 's Tale,” are so overwhelmed by their earthly desires and ambitions that they fail to see the effects of their sinful actions, therefore depriving themselves of salvation.…

    Jones states the children will feel rage. He goes on to explain that children are going to get angry regardless of how sweet the child is, or how much the parents try to help it. Jones proposes that “creative violence”- head-bonking cartoons, bloody video games, playground karate, toy guns- gives children a tool to help control and manage their rage. While growing up, his parents never really allowed him to project violence and anger. But through reading The Hulk, he was able to pull himself, and eventually an entire audience of his own readers, “out of emotional traps by immersing themselves in violent stories”.…

    Hero vs Villian

    The Punisher, Robin Hood, Batman, and Superman are some of the characters that we stereotypically constitute as heroes. They are known to fight with courage without fear of death. They destroy the enemy within a blink of an eye. They fight using their own body strength, superpower, or some kind of weapon. They come to the rescue miraculously and leave without a trace. They are mysterious. We are unable to identify who they are underneath the masks and disguises. Yet, we praise them and ignore the real heroes that surround us regularly, ordinarily. “All of us …like to believe that in a moral emergency we will behave like the heroes of our youth, bravely and forthrightly, without thought of personal loss or discredit”. In other words, we are quite oblivious to the ordinary people of the world that are, in fact, the true heroes.…

    Aristotle says that there two kinds of virtue: intellectual and moral virtue. Intellectual virtues are learnt by instruction and moral virtues by habit and constant practice. Aristotle’s definition of virtue is: virtue is a mean state between excess and deficiency. Virtue is a disposition rather than an activity. He discusses about various types of virtues and its corresponding vices like courage: rashness and cowardice, liberality: prodigality and illiberality, magnificence: gaudiness and chintziness, etc. He says that we do take on the virtues by first being at work in them.…
