Regina George: Successful Leadership In Mean Girls By Adolf Hitler

In the book, Lord of the Flies, Golding exhibits how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Ralph confronts Jack, in a fight for authority, claiming that Jack is a, “beast and a swine and a bloody, bloody thief” (Golding 177). The desire for power breaks the boys’ fragile civilization and causes strife between both leaders. The fight for power between leaders displays, not only, a loss of moral but also an inverse relationship. Another way that Golding proves the contention “absolute power corrupts absolutely” right, is the way he shows the corrupt tactics people and leaders use as a sly way to gain followers.

He destroyed his oncoming opponents in the eye of the public which gained him a great reputation and name for himself, perceived as the leader they needed for the positive future in Germany to be. Hitler used every downfall in society including the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar Republic and the Great Depression as a gain and advantages he had, including being an outsider. Although Hitler was an Austrian, he was always impressed of Germany, he fought for Germany and many Germans didn 't realize he was an

to ensure that everyone thought in a decent way that wasn’t a threat to the Nazi party. This meant that the Nazi party only let you hear and see what they wanted you to hear and see. Goebbels also organised mass rallies where Hitler presented amazing speeches with his flair as a brilliant speaker. This is a quote from Goebbels talking about propaganda: “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it and utterly can never escape from it.” (Propaganda in Nazi Germany).

Germany had been an empire until the First World War, the loss of which shook the German people to their very foundations. The psychological impact of going from an empire to a defeated nation was utterly traumatic. At the same time, Marxism was raging throughout Europe, toppling numerous governments and seen as a threat everywhere by the establishments. Hitler made people feel they were great again and played to their nationalistic and patriotic sentiments. It was easier for people to believe they were great and stab them in the back than to believe they had been failures and deserved what was happening to them.

What do your neighbors, your coworkers, your family all have in common? A powerful evil that lays deep within all humans, only to be released under the most heinous circumstances. This fact is clearly articulated in the works of world renowned authors Shakespeare and William Golding in their novels Macbeth and Lord of the Flies. Shakespeare 's Lady Macbeth and Golding 's Jack share many similar qualities in their path to success proving that if good people who begin with positive intentions become provoked by the lust for power, then ambition can get in the way of their moral compass and capability for making good decisions because of the evil which lays inside all mankind. Shakespeare 's Lady Macbeth is thought of as a murderous character who is lured by the temptation of power into committing violent acts.

He is the center of the play, which causes events to happen. The first tragic fall that leads Creon to his downfall is his power madness. His power madness fall can be supported by Antigone’s dialogue, “Further: he has the matter so it that anyone who dares attempt the act will die by stoning in the town.” (Antigone 2).

Sophocles was one of the greatest playwrights of antiquity, and this of course is not without reason. In his play Oedipus Rex, Sophocles uses a catastrophic tale to both teach and tell us that no matter what we do, our fate cannot be avoided. Oedipus is the wisest mortal man in Thebes, so it is up to him to find out who killed Laios, a fact unknown to him though, is that he is the murderer of the ex-king Laios. Both his hot temper and the endless pursuit of truth will lead Oedipus into a sticky situation. In order to find the killer of the old king and save his city, Oedipus will learn things about himself he wishes he never had, and in the process fulfill an old prophecy.

His passion towards his cause of leading Germany into being the dominant race in Europe is also very visible. Finally “Telos” is the purpose or conclusion of the speech, in this case it was to assure the Germans that he is alive and the plot failed. Thus we use these concepts to show how rhetoric functions, and how Adolf Hitler was eloquent from the rhetoric

He had the mental capabilities to use these mental faults to his advantage. They pushed him to be one of the most powerful men the world has ever known. He used his illnesses to ignite a fire of hatred against imaginary enemies. Among his Schizophrenic tendencies Hitler had PTSD, psychotic thinking, paranoid personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and sadistic personality

Oppression can ruin someone 's life. In the novel Maus by Art Spiegelman, Adolf Hitler became the dictator of Germany around 1940 (Spiegelman). He created a massive propaganda to make him seem like a great leader and to make Hebrew look awful. Hitler and his Nazi made Hebrew 's lives a living hell. Protagonist, Jewish Vladek lived through Hitler 's Reign, experienced extreme oppression (Spiegelman).

Since the beginning the power abuse cycle as always been a cruel but everlasting force. We can start with Hitler and using his power to cause the holocaust. Another example of power abuse is Kim Jung oppressing Korea just because he feels that it is okay and just. Even Ceaser is said to have abused his power which was followed one of the most dominant oppressive regimes for centuries. If from the beginning those who abused power were rightfully punished the world would be a completely different place, for the

The totalitarian governmental control in Oceania, its Junior Spies and propaganda techniques are allegorical examples that Orwell uses to relate the society of Oceania to that of Hitler’s and Stalin’s government. Oceania is seen to be under the control of Big Brother and the Party who recognises no limit to the control of their authority and strives to regulate and control every aspect of public and private life. Throughout the book we notice that Big Brother had employed similar means like Stalin and Hitler by having a secret police force, censoring the media and ruling through fear to control the masses. Another method employed by the Party was the Junior Spies which were like Hitler youth. The children were taught at an early age to keep an eye on

Once some of the assumptions proved to be accurate, people became frightened and terrified of all Germans. Those beliefs have endured and are still prevalent today. At the same time, it is true that the Germans, as a people, made mistakes. They elected Hitler, allowed him to rise to power and commit many atrocities. Were the majority of Germans aware of the horrific things happening around them?

Alexander has been named Alexander the Great, but was he really a great leader? Alexander did have some great accomplishments, but all of the many terrible things he did overpower the great things. The tactics he used in order to leave such great legacies were harsh and forceful. People only pay attention to the world-changing things he did when they should really focus on how he did them. Alexander was selfish, cruel and an overall power-hungry tyrant.

Corrupt aspects of Man’s nature are shown in William Shakespeare ’s play Macbeth as well as through the ambition of Hitler and his desire to overthrow Germany and eliminate all Jews. This is shown by both Macbeth and Hitler’s murderous ambitious attitudes to do whatever it takes to become one of the most powerful people of their time. In the beginning of the play Macbeth was a reasonably good man and a great solider.
