“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” If we look at a lot of the great leaders in the past like Hitler, Gaddafi, they all have similar characteristics. They are all dictators, so that means they have plenty of power. In fact, most of the power is in their hands. But with great power comes with greater responsibility.
Hitler was very successful at the beginning as leader of Germany, so quickly after he earned the trust from he’s people; he decided to go to war. He’s ability to earn trust from the rest of Germany was amazing. The people agreed with the speeches that he made, and ultimately, most Germans had the belief that they hated Jewish people. His act was of course intolerable to witness from the perspective of the rest of the world, so countries went to war with him, and after many years at war, he lost. When Germany lost, he didn’t take responsibility for he’s acts. The country was in a very poor condition, with many cities destroyed by the bombing. And Hitler himself decided to just escape all the casualties and results by suicide. This example clearly demonstrates that sometimes there is too much power. If anyone has the courage to use all those power, they should also have the courage to face the responsibility of having that great power.
Nobody wants to be the loser of anything. After the chaos caused by both Hitler and Gaddafi, none of them had the braveness to stand up again what they’ve done, so in the end, both died as a result of corruption in power. Power should be given equally to everyone, because too many times through history and present has proven that one man simply cannot deserve that much power. The results of corruption in power can be very harmful to society as well. So many times, people get hurt as a result of protest against power. So the bottom line is, if one person has that much power they should either just give it up, or share it with everyone else. If they don’t, protests and corruptions or even assassination can all possibly occur.
Your paragraphs were on topic and i like how you used examples such as Gaddafi and Hitler. They are pretty detailed paragraphs and adding a quote or two would make it more interesting and appealing to the reader. GJ!!
