I'm am doing a project for school and need a little help. I chose the 1st scene from act 4 from Macbeth and have to relate it to society. Could you give me some ideas?

No you can't. Shakespeare's world is a few centuries ago.

Answer 2

Who will do what to gain control. It is politics and manipulation.

Answer 3

This scene is about naked, unchecked ambition, and the lengths that a person will pursue to achieve power. A modern analogy that can be drawn to this scene is Hitler during WWII. Hitler had a lot in common with MacBeth, including the dabbling in the mystical arts, being a usurper, and a steady history of betrayals.
