The first statement I chose was, "Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature". Personally I find that this is true. Everyone has told a lie or has in some way been violent. It is just how we as humans act. If people many people do these things already then yes, everyone is capable of terrible things.
The second statement I chose was, "If you are in a position of power, you are happy". For me this I find this not true. Just because you have power dose not mean you are happy. As Uncle Ben from Spider Man once said, "with great power, comes great responsibility". This power can be a great burden which could cause a lot of stress. And even if the person with power is cruel then they have to live in fear of an uprising or something going wrong and losing everything. People in power can live happily, but power does not guarantee happiness.
Great argument on Statement 2. I believe that great power becomes great reponsibility
ReplyDeleteI agree that all people are capable of lying and betrayal because of simple human nature. I also believe that power does not necessarily bring happiness and often causes stress.
