Although Alexander has many admirable features like honesty and being able to do what he says he will, Alexander the great would not be electable in today's society. He seems like he is too aggressive for today's world. Today most things are negotiated peacefully and having a leader that seems or is too aggressive may not be helpful for any country. Based on reports, Alexander sounds very arrogant. He refers to himself as a son of god. Also, most people in our country like their leaders to be practical, and Alexander has proven on several occasions not to be. He dumped out a helmet-full of water because he wanted to prove a point. He risked a lot when he tamed his horse as well. These types of risks are not acceptable in today's society.
