Power and Coruption

                Power corrupts the best of us, even our own mayor of Upland John Pomierski ,who used his power to strong-arm businesses making them pay to continue business as usual. Abraham Lincoln said “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power." Lincoln said that because not all men are strong enough to resist the overwhelming temptation of abusing their power. Power causes people to wonder what they could do. Thought leads to action and releases the worst possible thing that could have only become because of power.

               An article by Time magazine begs to difer, it says that individuals who are cast in the limelight are more cautious and tend to make less mistakes. On the flip side people who are told that they are of low class make more errors. I don't believe this would apply to a person of leadership because of the different approaches power.
