How To Deal With A Dictator

To this day, dictators dominate their countries and suppress their citizens. Many are trying to stop them, in the best ways they can. Firstly, what is a dictator? A dictator is someone who rules the country on his own, and has ultimate power. Often, dictators misuse their power and, in most cases, end up making the whole world hate them. Most dictators are power hungry and omnipotent. Examples of dictators would be Julius Caesar, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un. People are trying to take these dictators down from their power. In Julius Caesar, the conspirators chose assassination, but as the play shows, assassination isn't always the best option. Bit by bit, there are ways to remove a dictator from power. An example would be to organize a group of people to peacefully protest against the leader. Doing this will spread the word of how people dislike the leader and the leader may have to step down from his power, for the better of the people. Someone could also confront the leader. Talking to the leader may not take him down from power, but may make him realize how unreasonable he is being. Caesar had so much power, that he lost his sense of logic. Maybe all he needed was for someone to talk to him about it. Another solution coud be to cut off all trades and communication with the country so that the leader is forced to allow communications with other countries. North Korea has absolutely no communication with the rest of the world and a blockade could be a solution to that. Although there are many solutions to get rid of a dictator, sometimes it isn't always successful. There are still many dictators around the world and it's obviously going to be a challenge to get rid of them, but it has been done before, so it can be done again.
