What is a good title?I'm writing about the struggle for power and I need help with a good title, or something I can tweak and make my own. Thanks

A good title will be give a preview of the topic of the
paper.  You say that that your are writing about the struggle for power, but your title
needs to provide a context for that struggle.  If you are writing about two countries
heading in a war, your title could be "The Struggle for Control of Land."  A paper about
the Civil War:  "The Struggle to Maintain the Union."  A paper about the suffrage
movement:  "The Struggle for a Voice."  You need to ask yourself what is the struggle
really about?  What does each party in the struggle have to lose or gain? Your title
should allude to those ideas.  Work on being clear before you worry about being clever. 
A fun and clever title is nice, but don't forget that your title is the first impression
you make on the reader, and first and foremost, you want the topic of your paper to be
clear.
