We need to be prepared for anything, and I am being given the task to lead the resistance movement. It is my assignment to find a second in command who can help defeat all perils. The person I choose to help with the situation is the Flash, who can run faster than the speed of lightning. As a superhero who is known for his superpowers, he would be reliable to help stop all felony. The Flash would be my second in command due to the fact he has a supernatural power of running and can create time rifts to take on an ultimatum such as Canada. …show more content…
The power of speed gives him the ability to conquer hundreds and thousands in a battle. He can stop the enemy before they attempt to enter the country. The Flash has his own team of strategist who help him plan how to conquer different enemies with different powers. He has been known to fight the utmost bad villains and has a long list of successes behind him which make him the ideal choice. The Flash is brave and has been praised by other superheroes who are part of the Justice League. There might be an argument of how just the power of speed can conquer enemies in this day and age, considering how there are planes and nuclear weapons that fly in the air. The Flash can run up on tall buildings, create sandstorms, and generate waves in the ocean through his speed.

    DeScioli and Kurzban clarify some of the psychological aspects of morality that make superheroes different from war heroes. Most superheroes in their dilemmas refuse to kill one person to save others, this is what happened in Superman #171 .As he was asked to either kill someone or the planet earth will be destroyed, but he refused to do this .Superheroes’ actions oppose the utilitarianism of John Stuart and Jeremy Bentham, which indicates that it is best to act to maximize welfare. However, their actions support the view of Immanuel Kant. Kant states that welfare gains cannot give grounds for horrible actions like killing. The writers say that superheroes focus in within-group conflict, while war heroes concentrate in between-group conflict. Superheroes are crime fighters who are famous for their morals, while war heroes are known for their number of kills. The authors also explain that the rise of the crime fighters that occurred might be due to in modern times, dangers of war are reduced and crime is rising. Also the authors state that superheroes show three aspects of moral psychology that makes them different from war heroes. First, Third-Party Moral Judgment as superheroes do not mind their own business, and they participate in third-party intervention in moral violations. Unlike, war heroes who only fight to defend themselves .The writers support their point by stating that Spider-Man is always snooping around. Second, Moralistic Punishment as in most superheroes’ lores they were able to distinguish between justice and revenge .Third, superheroes have moral impartiality as they enforce moral principles without taken in consideration friendship, alliances, or enemies.…

    “Give me liberty or give me death!” In December of 1777, George Washington decided to set up a winter camp at Valley Forge. The area was about eighteen miles northwest of Philadelphia making it a good place to stay and watch over the British troops. The men had to build huts for twelve men to live in. Sadly, the men slept on the straw and mud floors while being exposed to the cold weather. Many men would run off during war other would simply just desert the camp, unable to fight their living conditions. This raises the question: “Valley Forge: Would you have quit?” To quit would be to not really be an option for me, my loyalty to our government and country will stay at the camp. Many men were dying in this camp. Maybe from disease or simply lack of supplies the main thing is that they stayed until the end of their lives. They believed in this cause enough to never give up and had pushed through the horrid conditions as much as one possibly could. About half of the men were far too sick for battle. (Doc. A) Every soldier was needed and haven been stricken with illness made every healthy soldier a necessity. Approximately 1800 to 2500 men had lost their lives to the wide spread disease so even the smallest attempt to help fight the war was very much appreciated. (Doc. A) My loyalty and commitment to our government would also inspire me to continue on in those harsh conditions. While still living in the make shift town, the Committee of Congress had come to meet the valiant soldiers who were fighting for independence. (Doc.

    How often do superheroes act out their duties in order to benefit themselves, instead of the community in which they serve? It may be hard to recall. This is because the common understanding of superheroes is that of unselfishness as they frequently risk their lives to “save the day”. Through analyzing this trait, it can be predicted that superheroes contain a common pairing of morals that become a conventional part of their characteristics. In the light of these claims, Quicksilver, a character in Joss Whedon’s movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, helps to depict the universal morals and sense of unselfishness within superheroes as his character evolves throughout the film.…

    To some extent, the superpowers of some of our favorite superheroes are within the grasp of man. For example, Batman, Iron Man and Spiderman are geniuses who managed to develop their costumes or obtain equipment for improvement and thus be stronger than the normal human.

Kakalios is based on superheroes like Flash, which runs at the speed of light, even some villains as Electro.…
