BLOGPOST 6:
People with power always want more power. Agree or disagree with that statement. Use examples from your own life, literature, or history to support your argument.


Not all people with power necessarily want more power, but the reason why most people believe that is because people with power tend to become selfish and care a lot about what the power has to offer them. Say you are the mayor of a city, the mayor would have all kinds of benefits and rewards by being the mayor and who wouldn't want that? 
People with power obviously got there with some effort, so it would not be entirely too hard to gain more power. If you take a look at history many great leaders got to where they are by taking subtle steps toward the big prize.       (prize being a high ranked authority) 


But it also depends on what kind of power we are talking about...the leget power where authority is ranked. Or power being a more theoretically term where saying someone is powerful by the things they do and what they accomplish. A powerful person could also mean strong and courageous. 
In that case many people with that kind of power are most of the time happy that and don't want anything more. To receive that kind of title they would have needed a lot of work to reach that goal, and where else could you even go?
