The likes of Muammar Gaddafi, Joseph Kony, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. These self-obsessed leaders have only come to power by being corrupt and creating conflict causing thousands of innocent people to suffer, they have used their high authority to steal land, money and even force their religious views/options. Roughly 66,000 innocent children have been abducted and made to kill their parents by Kony; 20,000 people were killed during Gaddafi’s reign; 300,000 people were murdered by Benito Mussolini and 7 million were executed or worked to death by Hitler. In total, at least 7386,000 people were murdered all because tyrannical, self-obsessed leaders wanted to further their own ends.
It was even done by the great god Zeus! The ancient Greeks thought that Odysseus was right in killing all the suitors because they ate his food, exceeded their limits, didn’t leave when they were told, misbehaved with his wife when he was gone, and even raped the maids.

Pickton didn't do particularly well in school, and was made fun of by the other children because of his poor hygiene and the fact that he frequently smelled like hog manure. Robert had developed a fear of showers because his mother insisted on taking baths only. Pictkon always wore his trademark knee-high gum boots because of all the mud, pig manure and slaughtering operations on the farm. Robert’s mother looked out for him in particular, as she knew he had a harder time that her other offspring. As he grew older, Pickton frequently skipped school to stay home on the farm.

But that just gave them more courage to attack and when they did they all circled up on the few remaining and beat them. This movie has a few meanings to me it reminded me of the past in which slavery was life for most people which is sad. It also reminded me that back in the time of slavery if you not white
Not much time passed before he slew his son Marcius without hesitation for stealing Lavinia away from the emperor and standing in Titus’s way when he tried to go after her.

The plan was to urge the council to take back public land held by large land owners and to redistribute it to the landless Romans. Senators were furious by this proposal and had the two brothers assassinated further after. There was absolutely no voice for the plebes in the roman republic. And the only aristocrats who stood up for change were assassinated by corrupt senators.
In the book Paul feels that they have no reason to be fighting and that they have been abated to beasts just trying to protect themselves from others who are doing the same. At such a young age him and his comrades are exposed to so much tragedy, Paul stated that “Our knowledge of life is limited to death, what will come afterwards? And what will happen to us” (264). For the soldiers who die fighting in the war it is unfair what becomes of them. People who died a noble death get treated as if they are nothing, and were never anyone.
