Synopsis A

I agree with some parts of Synopsis A that refers to a chain of command being created to ensure a more systematic management of the Band of Merrymen. However, I believe that the solution does not provide specifics as to how revenues can be collected. I believe that it would be best to place leaders nearby the towns so that they can be easily identified by the wealthy, which will then lead them to avoid the areas where they know that the band’s leaders are located. I think that the solution is incomplete without ...

People often juxtapose their world to the world of nature. More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole. However, in most cases, people are just slaves of circumstances and of the environment in which they happen to exist. Disgrace, a Booker-prize winning novel by J.M. Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

The primary difference between the speeches President Woodrow Wilson gave before Congress in January 1917 and January 1918 was his tone. Naturally, the tone that a president uses has a deep influence on a broad range of circumstances. While the focus of both speeches was the ongoing conflict in Europe and what the United States could do to help facilitate its resolution; the tone of the 1917 speech was more idealistic, hopeful and indefinite, and the 1918 speech was more practical, pessimistic and direct. In the 1917 speech, Wilson illustrated his hopefulness on the belief that the warring parties ...

Through the years, I have had several chances of a leadership position. One of my favorite leadership experience was being the captain of our high school football team and being the leader of the youth group from my time at a Christian school.

Volkswagen Ethics

The Automobile industry like many others prides itself in its quality manufacturing processes, adherence to compliance norms, innovation and customer satisfaction. However, over the last few decades the industry is plagued with myriad cases of ethical misdemeanors. Some of the unethical behavior probably arises from pressures of business, profits, shareholder value and competition (Bazerman and Tenbrunsel, 2011). In some cases, leaders turn a blind eye to unethical practices. In one of the older cases from the 1970s, ...

Legal Perspective of Human Trafficking

        According to Pruellage (2015), human trafficking can be regarded as the contemporary version of slavery. The said victims are forced to work without much regards to their will or choices or sexually exploited.

As such, from a perspective that wishes to end human trafficking, the victims’ cooperation is vital. A uniform international perspective on human trafficking is important in order to effectively defeat human trafficking since ...

Leadership in Action

The judiciary is one of the most important arms in a free and democratic society and in many states, its duties are well outlined in the constitutions.

In his book “the Origins Of The Second World War In Europe” AJP Taylor makes the argument that the underlying causes of World War II, in contrast to popular sentiment, was the general complexity of political will and international relations at the time, rather than Hitler's dominating influence alongside Fascism and Nazi ideologies. Instead, the various powers, with their individual desires and relational struggles, embarked on the same path which nobody, not even Hitler, had wanted to pursue. Despite the devastation of the Second World War, it is difficult to pin its inception on any one individual. While Hitler ...

Introduction

Contrary to most beliefs, the participation of the United States in the Second World War was made even prior to the Japanese attack of the Pearl Harbor. Despite its stance of non-participation during the war, the United States has been involved in confidential activities that aided the Allied forces against their adversary.

Prior to the declaration of war against Japan, the longest serving Secretary of State, Cordell Hull sincerely pointed to the Japanese ambassador: “There ...

Question 1

The federal government attempted to smooth over problems in the relationship between labor and management during World War 1 by extending the industrial disputes investigation act to war production. Why did labor oppose this action? With the increased strained relation between labor and management during the World War 1, the government saw the extension of IDIA as the inevitable solution, a move that occasioned even much opposition from the labor movement. Much of the contention traces roots to the recent experiences. The experiences among the employees can be traced to the Kaiserian and profiteering principle (Fudge & Tucker, 2015). Both ...

The opium war which took place in the 19th century was one of the first major defeats of the Chinese government. China had a tremendous amount of wealth which was mostly attributed to the tea trade in the country.

Following the Napoleonic wars, there was a gentlemen’s agreement between both Britain and the French empire to largely stay out of one another’s way. Nevertheless, they still nearly came to blows on a number of occasions during the 19th century. Yet, the British and French Empires gradually came to see one another as potential allies, even if not as close friends. This relationship benefited both powers in very material ways. Both were concerned about the increasingly aggressive nature of Germany and the alliances it was forming, as well as the rising power of Russia under the Czar. ...

Aristotle says in chapter 6 that tragedy is “a mimesis of a high, complete action in speech pleasurably enhanced, the different kinds occurring in separate sections, in dramatic, not narrative form, effecting through pity and fear the catharsis of such emotions” (Aristotle). Aristotle most likely had the play in mind as he wrote the Poetics, since he referred to it numerous times. There are also six elements of tragedy which are, mimesis of character, mimesis ...
