Power. Power is a pretty powerful subject, eh?. When I think of power I think of presidents, dictators, and mob and gang leaders. Power is really the ability to control things. Power can fall into two subjects: Fear or Respect. Theres is a big difference between the two. Most presidents gain their power from respect. Citizens look up to these people to somewhat lead their lives. They look up to these people because they have earned their honor by work and gaining the respect of those around him/her. This is the good kind of power. The wrong kind of power is the one that comes from fear. mob leaders and gang leaders have to gain their power from fear. With the kind of world that these people live in, fear is the only option. If you live in a crime-infested areas and you grew up there all your life, being nice isnt the best option. Still, this isnt the right choice. Dictators also gain their power from fear. Adolf Hitler is a great example. Sure some people respected him greatly, the ones who werent being sent to camps, tortured, and murdered. The people who gain power from respect are the people real power. What do you think power comes from?
