IMDB rating: 7.70 Plot: This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s, where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son. The film also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does. |

"Power tends to corrupt, but absolute power corrupts absolutely." True or false?
I am in AP English 4 in a high school in California. My teacher assigned an essay in which we were to defend, challenge, or qualify this quotation by Lord Acton: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Please critique my finished synthesis essay on this topic. Thank you.
Beyond all else, the world yearns for power. From the beginnings of time peasants and tsars, slaves and pharaohs, and beggars and kings have committed innumerable murders, participated in incomprehensible genocides, and masterminded infinite duplicities. All in the acquisition of power. The writings of many great poets and novelists have dwelt on this common thread of humanity, from the theorizing of Lao-Tzu during the ancient Chou dynasty and the debating of Niccolo Machiavelli in early 14th century Italy, to the dramatization of William Shakespeare in the 1600
