Based on the documentary A.B.B, do you think all
the vices committed by Julius Caesar were necessary in order to safeguard the
superiority of Rome as the greatest civilization in the ancient world?
Julius
Caesar is known as one of the greatest leader ever existed in ancient time and
it is supported by many historians who believe that the superiority of Rome was
contribute by Julius Caesar. In order
to answer this question, all the vices committed by Julius Caesar
were unnecessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome. This is because
Julius Caesar is a cruel leader and his action was not humanity.
The reason which are in the battle of Alesia, Caesar allowed thousands
of women and children to starve to death. It shows that he willing to anything
to protect his army even though he had to sacrifice the other people life. His action
was unacceptable and he totally has no sympathy to people around him. Well,
he was cruel when he ordered his army to cut off every man hands as a warning
for those who are do not followed his order and were trying to against him.
His methods that he uses maybe make people scared and just obey the rule but it
is unfair to people to treat them like that. It seems he consider more to his
power than other people’s fate.
Moreover,
he always tried to dominate many countries by having bloody battles. The
example was given which is when he approached to Avaricum where a battle had
held and about 39,000 of men, women and children had been slaughtered by his
soldiers. Against to his action, there are another ways that can apply
to take over the country. Then by killing innocence people, it is unacceptable
as humanity value.
Regarding
the documentary, Caesar had slept with women including his friends’ wives. The situation
cannot be happen as a leader of country. He cannot take an opportunity as a
leader to everyone obeys his order. He should show a good attitude and respects
other people right.
For
conclusion, Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome because as a leader there
are another ways to develop civilization. As a leader, Caesar should be more
tolerate but distinct to his citizen. Lastly, without using vicious way a
leader still can success very well.
i agree with you. my opinion i think JC vices not a great leader because he kill many rome people just to protect his army. he should protect women and kids first..he too cruel for me..
ReplyDeletethe name of great leader is the leader can protect their citizan or followers...i agree with you that JC is not a great leader...
ReplyDeleteif you look at the benefits he brought to Rome it was far more beneficial than his immoral acts towards humanity. Furthermore the Roman society during and before his time was filled with corruption. Eg, one of the example is prostitution, in Rome prostitutes were allowed to perform their acts freely and they are require to pay tax to the Roman government even before Caesar came to power.Abduction slaves among senators are also known during the ancient time and the gladiatorial game in the arena that Romans gambles for them to fight shows even the Roman society had no care for human lives. Thus it shows the colour of the Roman society and why strict control over them was necessary.

ReplyDeleteMatiin, then because of his contribution for Rome so that he could freely do anything even it is against humanity? Where did you get that? Then it should be called as 'many wrongs make a right'
ReplyDeleteBased from historical records of the past cruel judgement or strict order is necessary to stabilize the society due to their cultural behavior. Many powerful leader in various civilization in history cannot avoid strict control over the society because it is the nature of human being of being rebellious and take things lightly if they were not being watched.For more information can please log onto http://debatewise.org/debates/1001-dictatorship-is-the-best-path-to-development/
