    As part of human nature, we’re accustomed to following a set of rules to have an orderly and peaceful lifestyle.

Usually, a well-built society derives from a strong leader who has the characteristics of guiding people to do the right actions. Such an example would be Beowulf who is viewed as a God-like hero and is highly respected.
