hello world!

A blog which looks back in history to analyze people in power and how they impact the world… either in a positive or negative manner!

Hi my name is tank and I like to focus on politics and power. Recently I have had a chance to learn about some of the most powerful and interesting people the world has ever seen. I am writing this blog with the specific intention to take a deeper look at some of the worlds most powerful leaders how they may use their position. The study of power has many unique elements which affects the decisions a leader will make. Money is to economics as power is to politics. Power can be cruel, kind, viscous and friendly but it is ultimately power that drives influence or lack there of. The power relationship between those who are ruled and the ruler is critical to the road for the future. If society is uneducated and does not question where power is dispersed one cannot understand the actions of their leader which can be devastating.

I am writing this blog with the intent to draw awareness to the idea of “Power” and what leaders do with it once they have risen to the top. I plan to take a look back at rulers throughout history which have been given power and used it in either a great way or with a disastrous path. From the beginning of time it can be seen that the rulers are few and powerful with large influence while the masses are left with little to no power and the slightest bit of influence. The basic element of leadership is power and power fluctuates either radically or gradually. Power is given to people to make change in when times are rough. However power is also taken back from leaders to institutions when the dust settles. At the end of this blog I hope to educate my readers and fellow blogger's about the relationships of power and strategic outcome.

This blog is meant to be aimed at the general audience and public throughout society. I am writing this blog not as a writing assignment but because this issue means something to me. Power is everywhere and the goal of this blog is to bring awareness to who has the power and what that individual or group does with it. In times of crisis leaders, such as President Obama, become immensely powerful. Throughout history leaders such as Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, and FDR are all products of crisis situations. Society must be aware of this and learn from our mistakes. Some leaders use their power wisely and it becomes a blessing for the world community, while others may abuse their power and the world suffers from its viciousness.

My blog will entice society to take a deeper look at which leaders are justifying their powerful positions in a positive manner. Throughout this blog I hope that this series of writing will create questions and teach individuals to look deeper into who is ruling in this world. This blog will be written for the perspective of a skeptic and a citizen observing the course of history. As we all know history repeats itself, but it is our duty to learn from mistakes and analyze who is making decision which will change society’s future for the better or worse!
