Spider-Man Reminds Me That True Leadership Looks A Lot Like Responsibility

Being a hero means being responsible.

Spider-Man Reminds Me That True Leadership Looks A Lot Like Responsibility

"With great power comes great responsibility."

Power is something we should all be very careful handling. We must do our best to leave a meaningful legacy behind when we attain power.

Spider-Man reminds me that heroes use their powers responsibly. Being a hero is a lot of responsibility and anyone willing to take on that responsibility is considered a good person. Peter Parker is the best example of serving others and not expecting to be served. A lot of times, in the movies and in video games, the people stand up for Spider-Man by even willing to keep his identity a secret. With Spider-Man and the influence this created character has on the world, I expect a better future. I expect a future where we all use our power responsibly and voluntarily help each other when we can.

I find Spider-Man to be the most caring superhero there is.

The fact that Spider-Man does not purposely kill people says a lot about him. In my opinion, every person in the world is special in their own way. Whether or not we realize it, every one of us has a supporter somewhere. It can be an indirect supporter from one's past family or even the people in the present. Because we all have at least one supporter, we are all leaders. Therefore, if Spider-Man would kill, he would leave a legacy of hatred from whoever supported or even loved that person, resulting in a circle of vengeance.

Being a hero means being responsible.

Aside from fictional powers, regular power comes from autonomy, support, and resources. Most of us have autonomy and support. Others have more resources than others. When attaining power, a lot of us should look for serving the community and not being served. Spider-Man does not have everything and he is doing his best to do humble work. He has the knowledge, the right words, and he takes action. Therefore, knowledge plus words plus actions equals empowerment. Knowledge is the foundation. Words are the structure. Action is the effort. Knowledge by itself is nothing. Sometimes we need a maxim (a philosophy we choose to live by). Spider-Man is the best role model for being responsible. He also is a reminder that a fight cannot always be stopped by fighting head-on, but by being clever.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
