It would be better to Einstein than Superman

Con’s morality argument is incredibly insightful and I will be addressing it in our next round (3rd round). To provide a plausible explanation for the resolution: It is better to be Albert Einstein than Superman, two steps will be taken. First, the principles that underlie my argument will be put forward in aid of numerous examples. Second, an argument will be made to justify the acclamation that Albert Einstein is a better choice than Superman. It is my wish that the reasoning represented in this argument is sufficient to support my opinions. PrinciplesAny human beings, from their early youth to their decease, move on in the path that they mark out for it until its sun goes down. Numerous desirable personal qualities have been repeatedly demonstrated by the world great leaders, scholars, and conquers. (Due to both time and space constrains, only political figures and conquers will be listed. ) From Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), the conquer of Persia, Egypt, and Syria to Gaius Octavianus (63 BC - AD 14), beknown as Augustus, the first Rome emperor; From Constantine the Great (c. 274 - 337), the first Roman emperor converted to Christianity to Heraclius Augustus (c.575-641), Byzantine Emperor and the guardian of True Cross; From Richard the Lionheart (1157-1199), the leader of Third Crusade, to Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Queen of England and Ireland; From Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), the emperor of Europe to President Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945), who rescued the United States from Great Depression; and From President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), the ideological founder of the contemporary GOP to President Barack Obama (1961-), the first African American to be elected to the presidency. Taken collectively, all these world leaders invariably display a set of qualities that attracts a significant number of followers to their causes. The qualities are summarized as follows: Far-reaching political influences Unparalleled military achievements Outstanding intellectual accomplishments Unquestionable moral decency Perennial legacy Massive wealth It is not unreasonable for someone to suggest that linage and/or personal appearance should be taken in to account in addressing the desirability of a given individual. It is equally plausible, however, to argue that any such qualities are the very derivations of the foregoing features. If, by accident, some qualities fall outside the list, in comparison to the general qualities discussed thereof, their impact on the overall analysis should be inconsequential. Moreover, given the fact that, in reality, many individuals would undoubtedly prefer ad hoc quality to others in accordance with their unique life experiences, it is improper, therefore, for me to assess the rationality and the wisdom of each individual choice. Instead, each quality would be weighted on the same scale for the purpose of the analysis. In addition, other arguments can be made in the case that there is a strong correlation among various qualities. The oppose argument, however, can be made with equal forces. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, the correlation would be ignored in this round. In conclusion, I will be assuming that each quality thereof is equally significant and independent of each other. In the lights of the facts that any individual who is capable of possessing any particular quality therein should be, in theory, reverend by at least some people, it follows that in comparison between two individuals in determining their personal desirability, the one with more sets of qualities should be more preferable. It is better to be Albert Einstein than SupermanPolitical InfluencesAlbert Einstein: Albert Einstein has an enormous influence on the political decisions of the United States. His letter to President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II lead to the creation of Manhattan Project, and the eventual nuclear bomb. Superman: Minimum political influences. Politicians, by definition, are not necessarily the righteous people. Political maneuver and comprise are the very essence for each politician to advance his or her own agenda. Watergate scandal is widely publicized and deplored nationally, and Bush v. Gore epitomizes the ugly fights between two political spectrums. A good policy for the general population is not always a good political decision for the President. The raise of taxes in aim of reducing deficit proposed by George H. W Bush (1988-1992) during his presidency cost him the reelection, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed by President Obama cost democrats 2010 mid-term elections. Those two leaders made the right decisions for their country, but the nature of politics defied their efforts. Conclusion: Albert Einstein would win this point with zero uncertainty. (One vote for Albert Einstein) Military AchievementsAlbert Einstein: Albert Einstein had made significant contributions to the military intelligence, albeit indirectly. His greatest military achievement was to urge President Franklin Roosevelt to develop atomic bomb during World War II. Superman: It is a universal truth that Superman possesses super-strength, super-speed, and next to indestructible Kyptonian body. He would be an extraordinary solider or commander, at least in theory. His personality, however, determines that he could never become a great military leader. He is an idealist. In comics word, he fights for justice and equality. In reality, however, it is not entirely certain if Superman would stand-up for the Americans unconditionally, especially during the War time. War is fought on the ground of the competing interests, rather than on the absolute righteousness. The winning side is invariably the one with the most military capacity and competency. Conclusion: Superman is no better than Albert Einstein. (Draw) Intellectual AccomplishmentsAlbert Einstein: Albert Einstein was known for his intellectual achievements. His scientific work includes, but not limited to, Special Theory of Relativity (1905), and General Theory of Relativity (1916). He received Nobel Prize in Physics (1921) for his discovery of the law of photoelectric effect. Superman: Although known for his incredible strength and upright morality. His intellectual achievements remain obscure. Conclusions: Albert Einstein would win this point by a conformable margin. (One vote for Albert Einstein) Moral Decency & Integrity Conclusion: Superman has an obvious advantage in this category, just by the definition. (One vote for Superman) Perennial LegacyAlbert Einstein: Forever changed the world of physics. Superman: Superman’s legacy remains unstated. Conclusion:Albert Einstein trumps Superman. (One vote for Albert Einstein) WealthAlbert Einstein: The world’s most famous celebrity, and Nobel Prize winner. Besides, he was affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Superman: A Pulitzer investigative reporter and columnist for the Daily Planet. Conclusion: Unless people are genuinely into News report business, it is reasonable to assume that Albert Einstein is more affluent than Superman owing to his higher income, judging by today’s standard. (One vote for Albert Einstein) ConclusionAmong all six different qualities, Albert Einstein collects four points whereas Superman collects one point. Therefore, on the basis of the foregoing analysis, it is reasonable to conclude that Albert Einstein is more desirable than Superman, thereby affirming the statement that it is better to be Albert Einstein than Superman.
