Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Do i agree with this quote?
I do agree at some level because many great leaders or any person like a rich kid who was born into this wealth good get much power and get corrupted because of it. Likw a rich kid who was born into his wealth might get spoiled at a young age and treat his servant like dirt and be ride and disrespectful and these habits could stick with him for life. Because of thaty he might not be able to hold a job, keep friends and he will become disliked by all and and no one will want to deal with him. Another example might be a great leader who gets overwhelmed by all the power he has and starts to do crazy things for no reason like building buildings and making armies, starting wars and for that reason he could become disliked by all and and then be known as a bad leader.
I also disagree with the quote at another level because there are lots of great or wealthy people that have lots of power and know how to control it they dont go do the first thing that pops in there head and they are usually very waise who know whats bests. I can go both ways im sort of 50/50 with this qote and both sides make a very good argumeant.

I like when you say “Another example might be a great leader who gets overwhelmed by all the power he has and starts to do crazy things for no reason”
It is one of the examples of power controlling a person.
He should control the power, so he wouldn’t corrupts.

The quote: “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
I would definitly agree with this quote because most of the time whenever somebody gets control of too much power, they often use it only for wat they want. Many times they become somewhat ignorant, and only use their power for their own personal needs. If the town is in poverty, he might get food only for himself. They also bbecome very selfish.
Think about it!
