If you give me a BS answer, I'm reporting you Italian political writer Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince is one of the most powerful discussions of politics during the Italian Renaissance. Machiavelli wrote the book to offer practical advice to Italian nobles. The book reflects the way he thought that government actually worked, rather than the lofty, often unrealistic ideals expressed by others. Machiavelli believed that a ruler should be concerned only with power and success. Today, The Prince is considered a portrayal of how leaders often have to act ruthlessly.

Think about Machiavelli’s ideas on political leadership. Is he right? Is he wrong? Should we expect our political leaders to always be virtuous as well as effective? Which is more important in a leader, virtue or effectiveness? Why? Write an essay explaining your answers to these questions. If you give me a BS answer, I'm reporting you

ok ill try, but this is from my perspective so you might have different answers. also im writing a shorter essay and not a real one, this is just an example :)

Explanation:

Italian political writer, Niccolo Machiavelli's ideas on how political leaders should act isn't very admirable from my stance. Though we should have high expectations for political leaders, I disagree with his statements and think he is wrong. We should expect our political leaders to be virtuous as well as effective. I feel that we should be realistic when discussing politics like he states and that rulers should be filled with power and success, but those aren't the only two traits they should uphold. Contradictory to what Machiavelli thinks, I think both virtue and effectiveness are both important skills a leader needs to have, and I think that rulers should be more than just concerned with power and triumph.

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
