With great power comes great responsibility.

<p>This is my essay from the second prompt in the BB:</p>

<p>Question: Should people take more responsibility for solving problems that affect their communities or the nation in general?</p>

<p>"With great power comes great responsibility." People, regardless of their of their amount of power, should always take responsibility for solving problems that affect their communities or the nation as a whole in general. History, media, and community service all show us that the only outcomes from taking responsibility are positive.</p>

<p>Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist woman who was 100 % anti-slavery in the early 1900's. She wrote the book, Uncle Tom's Cabin to give more insight and understanding on the negativity of slavery, not only did she take responsibility for solving problems in her nation, but one of her fictional characters did as well, saying, "Witness, eternal God, oh witness that, from this hour, I will do what one man can to drive this curse of slavery from my nation."</p>

<p>Many people are familiar with the concept of "Super Heroes". These people take the responsibility of solving problems that negatively affect their communities, resulting in a hostility free environment that is full of security from those that take the initiative to protect it. Although many people view comics, read books, or watch movies about superheroes for entertainment, these fictional characters instill in us the concept that taking responsibility for solving problems can only only evoke positive results.</p>

<p>Although these other examples are of historical matters and those who may have special gifts, we as ordinary human beings can still take plenty of responsibility to solve problems that affect out communities. Those who are more fortunate than others should always seek way to help others. The simple actions such as donating clothes or feeding the homeless only elicit positive results. Taking action to help anyone in need gives positive results.</p>

<p>It is a guaranteed fact that, indeed, taking more responsibility for solving problems that affect our communities or the nation in general draws forth positive results. The examples are portrayed everywhere; in history, the media, and even from community service. You don't have to fight off super-villains or save citizens from crumbling buildings, but we all have great enough power to take great responsibility to solve problems in our communities, so we should use it for positive outcomes.</p>

<p>If you want a general idea of where your essay lands, read my response to your last essay. This essay has the exact same problems (and imo it’s worse…)</p>

<p>Sure i told you to throw some quotes in, except everything else is super vague and the quote sounds completely out of place. lol early 1900s. hopefully you know that the civil war occurred in the early 1860s, and uncle tom’s cabin was written in the 1850s. also 100 % antislavery sounds super weird</p>

<p>super heroes and community service are weak examples, especially when you don’t elaborate past “basically here are 2 more examples: super heroes and community service. I don’t feel like explaining them but here are my examples.”</p>

<p>“it is a guaranteed fact” is not supported at all by your essay. In fact, you can’t guarantee anything. You can only say that “we can see that taking responsibility is cool” or something lol</p>

<p>sorry if it sounds like i’m making fun at your essay, but tbh, it’s just as trite as your last one.</p>

<p>The quote you chose implies that level of responsibility should correlate to level of power. Not a good example for this question. If you want to use that quote, you would need to disagree with the quote, and show why all people share responsibility, or give examples to show why only those with great power should take more responsibility.</p>
