TS1: The thirst for power is unquenchable and it would fuel the greed of humans if there is an unlimited resource of power, thus it would eventually lead to corruption as humans use unscrupulous ways of gaining power.
TS2: Humans already have the innate desire to rule over others and having more and more power may cause them to misuse their power in order to manipulate the people under them for the advancement of their social status and to ensure that they will always remain in a seat of power. The fear of losing this power might cause them to use their existing power to strenghthen their position through corrupt means. TS3: However, there do exist a minority of people in the world that do not corrupt when entrusted with the full responsibility of unlimited power. This could be due to his/her moral conscience and theway he/she was brought up and nurtured.
TS1: Unlimited power is similar to drugs. In addition, as Thomas Hobbes theorized, humans are selfish creatures who crave for the maximum benefits for themselves. Once someone comes into contact with power, he would have a taste of the benefits that power would bring, which includes reverence and submission from others. As such, he would continue to abuse his power to get even more benefits for himself, and thus losing his moral character in the process as he would often resort to underhanded means.
TS2: Authorities will enjoy the submission ad reverence of their people, and this feeling of superiority and the ability to control the masses would spur them to use underhanded methods to be able to extend their control over their people. It is these underhanded methods that would make these authorities corrupted.
TS1: Greats benefits come with power. Power allows people to fulfill their own selfish interests and desires. Once people get a taste of power, they will desire more. This pursuit of power is addictive and never-ending. Hence, they are trapped in the vicious cycle of wanting more power and they will resort to underhanded tactics to achieve their aims of getting more power. Thus, this paves way the way for corruption.
TS2: With unlimited power, people see the need to hold on to power and to protect their possession of power. Hence, they will resort to extreme means such as abusing their power to crush those who oppose them. This leads to the spread of corruption.
TS1: As Thomas Hobbes have theorised, Human nature is bound tightly to self-interested cooperation, which implies that they are selfish and only work together in a system or in this case a body of authority for their own benefits.These social contracts and laws are the main impetus in making people act morally and for the benefit of masses and not only himself. Hence by giving any human unlimited power, they will disregard the social contracts and laws that are blockading them from their selfish ways, and act for their own benefit. This will lead to them making actions that are considered corrupted.
