SIP- Expository essay English1

What drives someone to want to be a dictator? It’s simple, they want to change something, about the world.. Isn’t there anything you want to change in your life, or maybe you’ve seen something that needs to be changed but you can’t unless you have more power. For whatever reason this is what drives people to seek a dictatorship. You can find examples of stuff like this everywhere, movies text quotes. But all in all I believe dictators are driven by the need for change, and or power.

Why do I believe Dictators are driven by the need to change things? How often do you see someone come into a dictatorship, and then continue to run that country the same exact way it was run, prior to that dictatorship? Honestly a dictator never seems to run his country the same way as the person before them ran it. An example of this An example of this through history would be looking back at Napoleon era France. While Napoleon Staged a coup in France, he eventually became emperor, and launched a series of wars and sieges that later became known as the Napoleonic wars. This was about 15 years after the French revolution, and the people revolted major idly because, of taxes fighting wars. So they went from wars and being pushed around by their government, to peace. Then sent back to wars and being pushed around by their government again.

Now how can you find the motivation of dictators in literature or movie? In truth it is very difficult, since dictatorship is a controversial topic, and it usually is associated with bad people, and bad times. It’s a controversial topic with few books and  books and movies that aren't just history films, or autobiographies. Luckily i did manage to read the first 10 pages of Mein Kampf, before I decided it was stupid and went back to the library. Those pages, still gave me a good but fabricated idea of Hitler’s motives that would lead him to take power. He wanted a united Germany, instead of the fractured kingdoms it was during his childhood. In other words he wanted change, no matter how evil his attempt was, he still wanted to change his world.

    To summarize whats been stated here, I basically said dictators are driven by the urge to change things. As evidence in both history and textual evidence, Its not often a dictator seizes control of a country and runs it the exact same way his predecessors did. Something always changes, wethers its war, taxes, the country's borders or just the style of government dictators bring change, for better and worse.
