Question: Could a force like Alexander the Great exist today? Why or why not?
I personally don't think a force like Alexander the Great could exist today for a number of reasons. Too many people today have very strong opinions. It's a lot of effort to get a large group of people to agree on something. Like with the president today, majority rules. You can get many people to vote on someone, but there is still a large group of others who don't want this person or thing. Back in Alexander's day, I think people were too scared to go against a force like him. Most people just listened to his command and didn't stand up for what they believed in. This is completely different today. Also, armies and militaries are advanced enough today to be capable of stopping a force like Alexander. Another reason is that back then, power was abundant and Alexander the Great used it all to create a huge empire. But today, our world has many leaders who have an equal amount of power and authority. All these reasons help explain why I don't think there could be a force like Alexander the Great today.
