Lots to think about. 
Well laid out - almost formulaic following what I was taught about a research paper. Set the stage - give a brief history of Democracy - then tell the stories of five people who rose to power as tyrants in their countries. Ends with thoughts of how democracy in the United States is being threatened - and what could happen if people don't recognize the warning signs and respond to a leader who acts to undermine democracy. It can happen subtly.
