You can make a presentation or show us a video on the topic if you want to. Just try to keep it under five minutes.

Why does one strive to have power? Why one should or should not hold *this much* power?

I concede the topic might sound uninspired to some but the beauty of this topic lies in the various ways it can be interpreted. One may deduce the topic as asking a straightforward question with not so straightforward answer: "What does life mean to you?" Someone may look at it differently and ponder: "Is life (intrinsically) meaningful?" Maybe some of us who are tired of the rabbit hole of metaphysical arguments and are inclined towards a more pragmatic discussion find these two words, life and meaning, central to religious, political, and personal disputes and social issues like abortion rights.
