Speech on "Leadership in Government and Monopoly of Power"

"Leadership in Government and Monopoly of Power"

July 4, 2023

In my speech, I will address leadership in government and its potential for concentrated political power. The notion of a monopolized power over an entire population of people is an unavoidable consequence of centralized government bodies. The inherent monopoly of power is concerning when it comes to governments because it can lead to the antagonization of the population, a consequence that can have long-term and damaging implications.

The necessity to have a leader in a government is apparent and in most cases, necessary. In order for a government to function, a leader must take a position of power and maintain a secure level of order that ensures the government is not in jeopardy. That being said, there are significant risks associated with a leader who holds such a high level of power and authority.

The potential of a leader in government misusing their power in order to manipulate the population for their own agenda is an unfortunate reality. There are obvious benefits for a leader to manipulate the people for their own gain. It is through this form of monopolized power that the people can become subjected to the unfair practices of the leader. In some circumstances, the leader may take advantage of the people and oppress them for the purpose of meeting their agendas.

The problem of monopolized power in government is amplified when the leader has the ability to reduce the competition of ideas and solutions that could be found in a free enterprise. In a free enterprise, a multitude of solutions and ideas can be presented. This allows the people to find solutions that are both beneficial and agreeable. However, when a leader has complete control of the population's thoughts and hopes, then competition is reduced. It is this monopoly of power that leads to a diminished level of progress for the population, and without progression, the people cannot grow themselves or the country.

Leadership in government is essential and must be regulated effectively in order to ensure the safety of the population and the progression of the nation. Too much power in the hands of one leader can lead to disastrous consequences, as has been seen numerous times throughout history. The importance of maintaining a balanced level of authority and leadership is essential for the success and longevity of a government. Anything less invites the potential of oppressive policies which can lead to the stagnation of progress or even the destruction of the entire nation.

BATTLE OF JOLO: WHAT HAPPENED LAST FEBRUARY 7, 1974

BATTLE OF JOLO - FEBRUARY 7, 1974: OUR NARRATIVE Algazelus This is our narrative. February 7, 1974, is a date that is etched in the minds of every Tausug, including myself, as a crucial turning point in our history. It marks the day when the town of Jolo, in Sulu, was burned down by government forces as part of their fight against the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). As a Tausug from Sulu, this event is not just a distant memory but a reality that still haunts us today. Despite being born years after the burning of Jolo, I have grown up listening to stories of the event from my elders and reading about it in history books. But it wasn’t until I reached adulthood that I fully understood the significance and impact of what happened on that fateful day. The burning of Jolo, also known as the siege of Jolo, was a military confrontation between the MNLF and the government of the Philippines. The MNLF, led by Nur Misuari, was fighting for the self-determination of the Bangsamoro people...

Mindanao and Sulu Archipelago: Home To A Diverse Farming And Fishing Industry

Algazelus 06.11.22 Thesis Statement: In the past few decades, the economy of the Muslim-inhabited Sulu Archipelago of the Philippines has been severely affected by climate change, deforestation, armed conflict, and the influx of foreign corporate-run fishing vessels. This has led to a decrease in the resources available to sustain their traditional coffee farming and fish harvesting industries, severely limiting the economic activities of the people living there and putting their livelihoods at risk. The Sulu Archipelago of the Philippines is home to a diverse farming and fishing industry. For the last few decades, the main source of income for the Muslim communities that inhabit these islands are coffee farming and fish harvesting and culturing. Despite their importance, these industries have been affected by various issues that have had a major impact on the lives of the people who depend on them. In today’s world, farmers and fish harvesting in Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelag...
