Question Help for Modern History Personalities (1 Viewer)

[tofusenpai]

Hello I need help for this question as I don't particularly understand it in relation to Speer:

(b) Great figures in history are driven by ambition, not principle. How accurate is this statement in relation to the personality you have studied?

Do I have to pick either ambition or principle or can I disagree with both and argue luck

I have no idea who your personality is so I can't help on that front but in regards to the question, you can pick one or the other, or argue that both had a hand in Speer's actions. Think about the things you have learnt in class about them... do you think their actions and success were caused by their integrity and ethical values? Or by an innate desire to succeed?
