Question:  What compels someone to lead others?


Answer: For someone to be a leader, they must posses a quality to direct others to follow their beliefs.  A leader stands up for their rights when the government or other power tries to take full control of the remaining power that is given to the people.  Alexander the Great wanted revenge on the Persian Empire because they destroyed the Greek Empire and honor.  Alexander wanted to take back the Greek honor that was rightfully theirs.  He finally defeated them after 150 years of lost honor and took the power back.  Alexander the Great is a good example of a leader because he took back Greek honor, pride, and power.  The leader could be influenced by someone to lead a group of humans to voice their opinions and express how they feel about change.  Another way to express beliefs is through a rebellion, or a group of people who set out to overthrow a higher authority and sometimes that's the case.  If there are many people who believe in one thing than it could compel someone to start a movement to change the ways things are.  There are many unstable countries in the world and unfortunately many people have lead rebellions that have lead to much violence and death.  To be a true leader, someone has to be strong, smart, and wise to make the choices to help others express the way they want things to be changed.
