<p>Message: can success be disastrous?</p>
<pre><code> Success is vital to the point that people’s lives and their societies that they lived can be negatively affected when there is someone who propel his or herself toward to achieve one or more goals. Manifold examples from history and literary works lucidly authenticate that success can be deleterious to people in some form and/or way.
As shown by gorbachev’s attempts for people’s freedon, these attempts that he tried to achieved evenetually led to the failure of the Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev was born in a Russian family who were peasants. He wanted to surpass the United States after he went to Moscow State University with his degree in law. As time passed by, he become the leader of the Soviet Union at the age of fifty-four. His ideas were to spread liberalization, an idea to make the political and religious system less restricted or loose, and to ameliorate the nation’s economy and society. His two major reforms to do for success were called glasnot and perestroika. The purposes of these reforms were to give people more voice in the government and helped rebuild the government economic problems; however, these reforms that he thought were successful lead to the destruction of the Soviet Union. It led to the destruction because people would leave their homes for a better life and that the people would protest against the government with rebellions and revolts. The ultimate effect is that the Soviet Union could not survive due to the consequences of his “successful” plans. Therefore, Gorbachev’s attempts for success proved that the power and foreedom given to people can lead to the destruction of a society.
In the play, “macBeth”, by William Shakespeare, the author illustrates how Macbeth’s success for power lead to his downfall. MacBeth was a respectful guy with the rank, Thane of Cawdor, that served for King Duncan. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth wanted to be successful in society by trying to gain power. This lead to the creation of a plan to kill King Duncan and Baqnuo. The ultimate effect of this is that MacBeth could not be able to live a moral life. His gulit caused by the eneds to be successful in society lead to his own destruction. Overall, MacBeth’s not only lead to his suicide, but lead to the destruction of other people as well, since he cannot handl the unexpected consuquences when trying to achieve his goals.
After a meticulous scruntiny of Gorbachev and “Macbeth”, one could see that success is, indeed, deleterious to not only to themselves, but to others as well. Without success, societies would be saved from one’s actions caused by success. Being able to solve all of life’s difficulties and goals can not compensate the prodigious consequences that one may have executed to his/herself and to others as well.
