‘Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.’

–British Lord Acton (historian, 1834-1902)

Images: Ask yourself…. Who are these people?

What are these symbols?

Where have you seen these images before?

What do they represent? Are they important?

What is fascism, democracy, socialism, and communism? How are they similar and different? Do they have an impact on you? Are there better images to use?
