Since the beginning of time, man has always
wanted to be dominant there was always that need
to be the ALPHA MALE.
5
In Greek mythology, we can see such example of
Alpha Male status. Cronus, the father of Zeus,
intended to swallow his son just like he did his
other siblings, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter
and Hera. He swallowed his children so he could
continue an absolute reign over the universe.
6
However Rhea, Zeus mother, hid the infant in
cave and switched him with a rock, so Cronus ate
a rock instead of Zeus. When Zeus grew up, he
forced Cronus to throw up his brothers and
sisters. Zeus along with his siblings, Poseidon,
Hades, Hestia, Demeter and Hera vanquished Cronus
and the Titans, and Zeus imprisoned most of them
in the underworld of Tartarus.
7
We can also see power in history. Saddam Hussein
was an evil dictator. He used his power to kill
hundreds of people.
8
On the other hand, power can of course be used
for good. Take Barack Obama for example, if
elected, he hopes to make his dreams a
reality. The clip below is about Barack Obama
campaigning for the 2008 Presidential Elections.

In the novel, The Lord of the Flies, there is a
constant battle between Ralph and Jack for chief.
Each contender represent complete opposites. You
have Ralph, a sensible boy and you have Jack.
Jack is on the constant pursuit of pigs he has a
need of hunting. Both are in the running for
chief because they think that they can do better
than the other. Ralph wins the first round, but
ultimately he is brought down by Jack.

In this clip from the Devil Wears Prada, Miranda
Priesley demands that Andrea finds her a way home
to watch her twin daughters recital, no

everyone around, there is no undermining her.

Man is consumed by power because power opens
doors to success and happiness. With power, you
can have whatever you want, do what you wish,
everyone else is at your command.

everyone dreams of being king, go ahead, reach
for it. Just dont step on any toes while you get
there. Why you ask? Karma.
