Another topic that I've been dealing with is morality. We discussed this in class, the idea of what makes us do good things. It would be so easy for us do evil, that's the selfish way of doing things, and I think that if we're honest with ourselves we'd have to admit that we really are selfish at heart, so what makes us do good? Comic books are what I know, so I find it helpful to look at them for inspiration. The answers that I find lead me to think about "Nature vs. Nurture" and I think that for me nurture wins out. I really like the show Smallville and in the first few seasons they did some really cool stuff with Clark Kent's early days. Those seasons insinuated that without out Clark's parents and their mid-western beliefs that Clark would have become a Weapon of Mass Destruction, so to speak. Clark becomes Superman because he was raised to be a giving, caring, compassionate person. Lex Luthor on the other hand has a terrible childhood. His father is overbearing who makes his life hell so that he can toughen him, make him strong enough to carry on the Luthor name. Because of this harsh upbringing Lex grows to become cynical, un-trusting, and ruthless. When we look at other comic characters we find this same situation. Spider-man had Uncle Ben to talk some sense into him, Bruce Wayne is the product of a mugging gone bad, etc. What do you think, does our up bringing have more effect on us or is it all genetic?
