Alexander the great was a terrible and belligerent human being.Alexander doesn't deserve to be great,he was a villain he terrorized thousands of people just to be known for his achievement. He was a monster fueled by self desire. He cared for no one but himself, he thought he was better than everyone.Alexander thought he was so amazing that he thought of himself as a divine son of zeus. Alexander only cared about his pothos,he wanted to conquer 'ends of the world to the Great Outer Sea'. Alexander didn't earn anything it was already made for him. His father,King Phillip, came up with the ideas to conquer to Persia. King Phillip also came up with the peasant inspiration project as well as the idea of the phalanx.King Phillip also pioneered the long spears. Alexanders army was handed to him on a silver platter. Alexander didn't have to do anything, he was given a life that without any difficulty.Alexander was a monster he killed thousands upon hundred thousands of men. He was a killer of innocent men, women, and children. He destroyed villages and cities because he felt like it or they didn't follow his insane idea's. He instilled fear into every colony or village he passed.He brought death to everyone who opposed him some villages even called him Alexander the devil.Alexander only cared what time would think about him. The goods that Alexander did he did for publicity.He liberated villages to look like a hero.Alexander thought of himself as a hero but hero's don't kidnap their enemies mother, wife, and children.Alexander had only one purpose in life to cause chaos he burnt down cities for no reason. Alexander was also a terrible king he didn't do any thing for his people. Antipater had to a worry some country .Antipater had to deal with rebellions and a crazy king. Antipater was a puppet to Alexander so Alexander would keep power but not do anything. He gave his people reinsurance.while he was of leading his troops to starvation and death.
We can learn a lot about a society though their views on greatness.The Macedonians thought of Alexander as a god. We can tell that this society thinks that taking peoples lives and land deserves a greatness. Their views of greatness are being number one.If you arent the best then you have know value.Alexander was the best at what he did winning in battle.In their society the viewed him as a great accomplishments but in reality he was terrible and awful and full of self desire. In our society we view everyone as great we give medals to last placers and congratulate them. Their society had to make champions so that they will survive at war. Nowadays there is little pressure to be the best when there are rewards for being mediocre. The Macedon's used this pressure to conquer that part of the world. Their society viewed greatness as being the best and that pressure pushed them to be the best.
Time and distance do affect peoples perspective. Time tells us how long it takes to be great. time is an essential measurement.Time is telling us how long that person has accomplished there goal.Without time we wouldn't know how long a person been trying to achieve their goal. If it took 15 years to conquer the Persians people wouldn't view him as a great person .Distance is the measure of how much that person has done. This idea of time and distance changing peoples perspective reminds me of the new pop sensation Ariana Grande she has been in the singing world for has achieved super stardom in a mere 2 year of recording. She accomplished 1 already dropped album and 1 more on the way . She has accomplished triple platinum on her first single. She also was the second female person to have 3 billboard hits simultaneously.
