By turns captivating and ruthless, bright, and power hungry, ambassadorial, and bloodthirsty, Alexander inspired such faithfulness in his men that each man would follow him where ever he went and, if necessary, die in the process.

In society, people should be ethically responsible with helping people. People act ethically responsible when one is in need of assistance because they let their sympathetic feelings of compassion take over their intentions.
