What gives an individual power?

An individual is given power from his or her peers or the power is taken by force. Think of something like a class president. He is given the power to lead his class by his peers through an election. Then then think about Macbeth and how he stole the power through force. I murdered my friend and king, Duncan. I took the power by force. Power can also be inherited through blood line, like in a monarchy or a dictatorship. But in my case I'm just a psychotic murderer who blindly slaughtered my way to power.

Welcome Everyone

Welcome ladies and gents. They call me Thane of Glammis, Thane of Cawdor, and King of Scottland. I am Macbeth. Tonight, I will be attending a banquet in my honor at the Sea Glass restaurant in Hampton, NH. All who adore me are invited!
