The Flaws of Inheriting Control and Power: Why It's Unfair
and Inefficient |
|
|
The ways in which kings and their heirs or relatives inherit control and power
are inherently unfair, inefficient, and even potentially harmful to the people
they rule. Historically, only male heirs have been able to acquire the position
of a king, which makes the system sexist at its core. It suggests that female
members of a family are unable to rule, which is unfair and outdated.
Additionally, the traditional sense of a king having executive power over all
resources of the nation is not feasible with the current large sizes of
industries, federal governments, and other branches of a nation. Furthermore,
such power is no longer available to royals, making their leadership limited,
outdated, and ineffective.
The inability of a person from a lower background level to partake in leadership
enforces a system of classist division as well. This means that qualified and
exceptional candidates are not considered simply because they are not part of a
royal family. This is not fair and restricts the pool of talented leaders who
can bring positive change to a country.
In the past, monarchs had more power, which caused incredible competitiveness
within royal families. Younger children of a king who had died could be subject
to violence and death from others who wanted their position. Additionally, these
scenarios often led to instances of kings who were still children and unfit to
lead an entire country. This is not appropriate in the current day, as the field
of politics is incredibly complex and evolving. As such, the system of passing
ruling power from the king to his heir or relatives is incredibly outdated and
not practiced in its true form in the modern-day.
In conclusion, the traditional way of passing ruling power from the king to his
heir or relatives is outdated and flawed. It is not feasible to have one person
have executive power over all resources of a nation in the current day, and the
system of only male heirs being able to acquire the position of a king is sexist
and classist. The field of politics is constantly evolving and requires talented
leaders from all backgrounds, not just from a select few families. |
