How to become a Super Hero

Hello Everyone!


I apologize for being a little inactive this past month or so. I have been very busy as of lately developing websites and creating new graphics and such for my portfolio. I have also been reading this new book called How to become a Super Hero, written by Sage Michael.

Now normally you guys know I won't endorse a book or title unless I know for a fact it's worth a read. I can safely say that this book is rather amazing. You can call it something similar to a self-help type of book, except it makes more sense. ( ha-ha ) Not saying that others don't but knowing that there are a lot of analogies and metaphors to the super hero world I find it easier to relate to than others.



Knowing this I had asked Sage if I could do a review about his book as well as help him in his ventures. He agreed to it and has wished me the best of luck. Sage is not only a man who understands his craft but he also understands life. His thought pattern and mindset that he has poured into this book with words will not only help people, but people will actually act on it. I know that I personally am applying a few new things to my life, making some new changes.

I feel as though that Sage will actually go a very long way in his entrepreneur career as well as being a known author. Again this advice and knowledge that he is willing to share is great and a lot of it are things that are easy to do yet challenging at the same time.

I am going to challenge you. If you feel as though you are stuck in a rut with your life or just feel like everything you are doing doesn't seem to really make a major breakthrough, pick up this book. I can guarantee it will have a lot of eye openers in it and you will be able to start that journey in becoming that Super Hero.

Utilitarian Ethics

Hey there!

I hope everyone is doing well, today I have been speaking with my professor in my advanced ethics class. If you didn't know I was doing college ethics, you do now, ha-ha.

There was a question brought up today, the question is :

" The utilitarian framework is an ethical approach that evaluates the results or consequences of the decision. Not all decisions are necessarily ethical because it results in the desired result. Theft is not necessarily ethical if the end result is jail or a life of crime. Utilitarian ethics says that if the end results of the theft is the betterment of your family, or the betterment of all parties, then the decision to steal could possibly be the best decision given all the facts. Because utilitarian ethics are fact driven, if you change the facts you change the potential "rightness" of the decision. If you steal only to get money to buy things you don't need then this is clearly wrong. When a father is driven to steal to feed for his family or care for their needs then people have more empathy with him and are more inclined to be lenient with him if caught.

Take for instance the movie John Q with Denzel Washington. Denzel's character committed countless felonies, including kidnapping and assault. But because of the facts surrounding his set of circumstances everyone in the movie felt sorry for him. In his mind the ends justified the means. His son received the treatment he needed despite the fact that Denzel took an entire hospital hostage and endangered the life of many people.

This in my view is truly utilitarian. The consequences of his actions resulted in him saving his sons life.

Do you think that most people make decisions on principles of utility or consequence that take all things into consideration (e.g. all the people affected by the decision made; or all the bad things that could occur)? "


and my reply to this question is :

" This actually goes very deep and has many factors to it. I personally know a lot of people that go off of the Utilitarian views in life, however, there is always something that stops them from acting on a fact in a situation like this. The reason for that is because we have deepened feelings of some sort of emotion. Knowing that Utility views are key at times, as humans it can be difficult to bring yourself to a level of logic to surpass all feeling. In this case it would have been Denzel Washington's situation. Knowing that in the movie this was for his one and only son, it would be hard to really see anything else, almost as if you put the blinders on and focused on that one goal, no matter what happens. For people who have their hands in many different gloves must make a decision based on consequence, mainly because of emotion, which is something that humans will truly never be able to remove from their being no matter how much they have convinced themselves that the emotion is gone. This is of course saying the only form of ethics is to better the person on factual consequence outside of the standard system we have today in society. Although it's funny, because emotion is what drives us to Utilitarian ethics, yet people would claim that these acts are unethical and there is always a better way. Which I do agree with, their is always a better way. So really what it comes down to is self awareness and self gratification, even in desperate times. So really when you weigh it out, in the end, Utilitarian ethics is a very selfish form of self pity. Which then drives into a whole different question of, am I truly being selfish when I am trying to help the ones I love? That answer would still be yes, because that is what you want and you are the one acting upon it, by definition of course. Which goes back into stating The betterment of your family and all parties. The only parties though that were bettered were yours, ( saying you are Denzel Washington's movie character in this case ) and you have threatened the lives of many for the one, which is completely backwards from The lives of the many out weigh the lives of the few. This would then show that if you were forced in to taking on hostages to get what was needed, ethically, would this still be a view of Utilitarian ethics? Although you are bettering your family by doing so, you are still putting many in harms way; knowingly and threatening their lives. These people could have families of their own, children who are sick too. It's something that is never known from the start upon an assumed action by the person who is affected by the Utilitarian ethical motive. So I suppose in the end when you really think about it, people are very selfish, and jump to Utilitarian ethics most of the time. With that said, the answer to this is yes, most people do make decisions on principles of utility. However, once you've pulled apart and analyzed every option and realize what you are doing by action is wrong; jumping to this conclusion immediately, you have a whole new outlook on life. Which you then realize, it's not all about me and bettering my family no matter the cost. Bettering a family is good, but bettering them the right way, knowing that there is always another option. "

I am now curious to know how you feel about Utilitarian ethics. Do you feel as though most people today go off of the Principles of Utility? Why or why not?

Hey everyone!

So I took a break for a little bit here as well as being extremely busy building websites, and I am still not officially 100% back as of yet seeing how I still have a lot more to do, but I've had this one thing on my mind. Money will never truly make you happy, even if you are poor; broke and feel as though it will help your family friends etc.

You will truly only be happy when you reach an accomplishment or actually do something worth meaning and worth while. Also, something that walks hand in hand with this is fame, does it really though? No, not really. You can still be well known and be that dude who still sits on the corner of a street holding a sign looking for work.

A quote I will like to use here is from the band Flat Foot 56. The quote says,

" To all my brothers, to all my brothers’ sons. You can’t find freedom in money, it has to be won."

It's true, you just can't, in fact it could end up causing even more problems. Sure it's great to have, but the meaning of it doesn't hold any true value. So I will say that to all of you who are reading this right now, you can't find freedom in money, it has to be won. Muster up the courage, go out their ;break those chains, fight and win your freedom! We will be here fighting right along beside you. Don't let money, something so insignificant, bar you down.

On a side note, Smile, it's epic. :D
