Julius Caesar Act II

Julius Caesar Act II

It is sometimes necessary to take decisive, preemptive action against someone because of what you fear he or she might do later. Many examples in the world include some of the most violent countries at the moment, for example, Libya. It all started with news on people protesting against the government to tell him to step down. The government was a dictator and he wouldn't step down, so the people, afraid of what he might do next, started a war. Another example I want to mention is North Korea. They have threatened to bomb the U.S. but yet no one from that country is doing anything? Why?

What are the people afraid of that preemptive action have to be taken against someone? Sometimes it can involve forcing people, but other times it can involve a whole war. The people in Libya started a war, and it threw the whole continent into chaos. What I’m wondering is the fact that such actions have to be made against someone. I am sure that if the people of Libya talked or asked for help, a war could have been avoided. You cannot predict the future, even if the person say he/she is going to do something, it doesn't always work out.

          In the end I believe it all depends on the situation of the scene. If what they’re going to do will affect many people, I think you should take preemptive action. But if all they’re going to do is win a contest to be the head of student counsel, I’m pretty sure you can wait a year. It doesn't matter how bad the person is going to be in the future, it could be how good he will be, there is always kindness somewhere in their heart.
