Leadership Levels

Effective leadership can be likened to the stock market. Fortunes are not made in a single day; but they are made on a daily basis, bit by bit. The most important thing is what is done day after day, over an extensive pull. For one to be successive in leadership, investment in leadership development is inevitable, (Geoffrey, 2006). The end result of this investment is “Leadership growth” over a period of time. Most scholars argue that leaders are never born; but rather, they are made. According to Philip (2006), greatness is attained through many years of hard Continue reading...

The Tempest illustrates Shakespeare’s idea of power and how it is exercised. In the island where all the characters were brought together by the tempest, their individual desire for power and how they plan to achieve it shows how man constantly struggles to possess power and rule over others.

He explains that life is a plurality of forces striving after an increase in the feeling of power, Continue reading...

One of the most complicated machines in the world is human brain. Human beings have often pondered about its complexity and the beauty of its functioning. Man wanted to create an object that can think as similar as man. An object which can replicate the functioning of the human brain and give out the desired results. This innocuous desire of man has been the stepping stone for inventing a branch of study- Artificial Intelligence.
The name as it seems, is not a very new concept. It has been in the minds of people ever since they began thinking. The Continue reading...

Divorce has somewhat become widespread nowadays. In an infographics created by Instant Checkmate (2013), it is approximated that 50% of all marriages in America end in divorce.

That is invisible next to his certificate that reads, M.D., Ph.D. The Merriam-Webster.com definition Continue reading...

Introduction:

Probably one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Marcel Duchamp is famous for his vast quantity of works which remain some of the most sought after by collectors and museums alike. His style was intrinsically traditionalist in his beginnings and he rejected modernism very early in his career – he was known to have stated that he wanted to bring the visual aspect back to painting so that the end result pleases the eye. However he moved into Cubism and Dadaism in later years and changed his outlook to a more rigid and intense form of painting.

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is Continue reading...

His bold move challenged some of the practices of the Catholic Church at that time as well as some of the specific church practices, or Doctrines.

Luther argued that the Bible was the true way to understand the word Continue reading...

Introduction

A documentary is a movie that attempts to present events, people and places in real life for purposes of instructing or maintaining historical records (Aitken). Documentaries are characterized by carefully chosen and arranged scenes just like movies. Unlike movies, documentaries are not scripted and the people in a documentary are not actors. In most cases, documentaries rely on voice-over narration to explain events in a given footage. In other cases, the story in the documentary is told through interviews with the people featured.

“The Burial of the Dead.”

Eliot begins “The Wasteland with the section named, “The Burial of the Dead.” The central theme has been declared, via the title, before the stanzas begin. There is a fine line between life and death; life can come from death, and life also forces death. This is particularly evident in the final stanza:

“That corpse you planted last year in your garden,  / Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year? / Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?” Eliot’s idea is of a dilapidated place occupied by people who suffer in an in-between condition, Continue reading...

Europe experienced many changes in the 16th century, among them the protestant reformation, also referred to as the protestant revolt.
