Yes, persons who are good at organizing and leading are generally control freaks.  Or to put it more kindly, they have an ability to control the actions of others.  This is necessarily true.\n\nControl takes many forms, however.  Some are adept at propaganda, and persuade their organization to go along with their plans.  Some are adept at bribery and blackmail.  Others have genuinely good plans and are talented at presenting them in a persuasive way.  Even a person who does not like to control others, or is philosophically opposed to controlling others, may have that sort of skill.  \n\nMy example is a leader in the Libertarian Party.  Dr. Mary Ruwart knows that the party is composed of rather cussed individualists.  But her arguments are marvelously persuasive because she researchs carefully and states things in a sufficiently direct and simple form that it is extremely hard to disagree with her.

The two main families, Montagues and Capulets, are the leading powers in the area. In the feudal system, in very basic terms, there is a strong class structure in which the leading classes control the land and therefore the lives of all the workers (also known as peasants or serfs). That's a very basic way of describing it, I'm sure any history professor would put it a better way. In the play, their desire to control their offspring (Romeo and Juliet) could be linked to their usual capability to control the people around them.\n\nI wouldn't quote me on this in an essay, I'm just thinking off the top of my head - could be a useful starting point.

All leaders are afraid to lose power. That is their weakness. Their strength is that they can command an army and massacre entire races. Don't become a dictator, instead found your own micronation and rule over it.

Quickly:\nEach are headed out by a leader. Japan has an emperor and Europe has a king. Neither controlled a huge amount of power for small regions and so that power was handed down to others.\n\nIn Japan there was the shoguns and in Europe they had their lords. Working under the lords were knights and the Japanese version of a knight is the samurai.\n\nAt the bottom were peasants for both Europe and Japan, though merchants were even below that in Japanese feudal society.
