How This Relates To The Real World

I think Alex is very similar to a lot of people in the world today. Alex is 'power hungry' and just cares about being in charge. He wants people to listen to them and feels ignored if people follow someone else's ideas and not his. I think a lot of people are like this. They have to have people listening to them and people have to follow their ideas, and if they don't then they feel ignored and get angry. People don't want everyone to have an equal say, they want everyone to listen to them and do what they say. Also, when Alex's power is threatened, he gets very enraged and uncomfortable. I think a lot of people can relate to this and feel like this when their power is threatened. Although, Alex gets in a big fight and beats people up, and I don't think most people get that intense of feelings when their power is threatened. But, I do think people can hurt someone else's feelings when they get angry about their power getting threatened. One difference I do note is that Alex keeps continuing on with his droogs and keeps 'working' with them. I feel like most people start to refuse to work with people who threaten their power and don't cooperate them, whether it's on a small level, like a group during class, or a large level, like a conflict between two countries. I think A Clockwork Orange relates to our world in many ways, and this is just one of them.
