I would not say that political power does corrupt the people who attain it, but political power does change the person who attain it. i believe in what i said because they tend to change or cause something that will affect the government and the society. The changes that the person has political power will be either use their leading skill for the good or bad. For example, President Obama has done good things to the United States economic system, removing troops out of Iraq little by little, and the most recent one approving the health care bill (www.bspcn.com). Even though it is not a great improvement to the country, it still a progress to make the Unite States Of America to be a good country. And if there is good results, there are also bad results. Remember President Bush Jr.? Well he did not do much in creating Unites States of America to be a developing country, but he introduced America to something new, and it is War in Iraq. Since he assumed that the plane crash that has happened in 9/11 that hit the Twin Towers was a terrorist attack, the war in Iraq has started. This blog post does mean which President was best, but to share that political power does change the person who attain it. Since these different president, they both lead the county in different ways. The main idea of this is political power does change a leader to a better or worst.
George Orwell does answer the question, “does political power corrupt the people who attain it?” in the book titled Animal Farm he explained a group of talking animal farms could take over the government of England and over rule all human race. and the best way for them to take over the government is to rebel against all humans. “Man is the only real enemy we [animals] have...That is my [Old Major] message to you, comrades: Rebellion!” (Orwell 28 & 30). With this quote that it kinda connects with the question because it portrays the idea that the animals are going to dictate the world and they will do anything to get their way. Also it connects to the current world that there countries that has a dictatorship government and there are people in those counties will try to make a difference.
Basically political power is a huge responsibility and sometimes there are leaders out there that takes advantage of it and never really improving the country.
