Essays on Exemplary

In a general perspective, when people speak on leadership they see it as a crucial matter. Personally, I see it clearly in this view. Being a leader is not an easy task; a person should possess an exemplary qualities. Commonly, leadership is an action or ways to lead a group of people or any organization. As I witness leadership, it is illustrated as a social influence processed to a person who has the ability to assist and support other people in the achievement of a common mission or goal.

Abstract Poor leadership appears to be a growing issue across the globe. Small business and large companies are struggling at the hands of poor leadership that would be easily remedied were it not for corruption, poor communication, and laziness. If there were more successful leadership in the world, unlike the type I experienced, there would be more successful business, and a more thriving economy. The problem is primarily with leaders not knowing how to lead, or generally just not wanting to lead. Many companies are so full of corruption; employees do not have anywhere to turn when reporting bad behavior. ...

A Matter of Perspective: Reflections on Conflicting Views of History

If the study of history is a matter of perspective, then so is the question of whether it is better to contemplate history from a personal perspective, or from the vantage point of the great and powerful. Irene Nemirovsky’s Suite Francaise, and Charles de Gaulle: A Brief Biography with Documents represent two vastly different viewpoints. Charles Cogan’s 1996 biography features never-before-seen primary sources and recounts the life of a man whose political fortunes were part and parcel of French post-war history. Thomas Carlyle’s “Great Man Theory” of history (an inheritor of Plutarch’s “exemplary lives” model) was a remnant of ...

Throughout the history of the United States, the Texas Constitution has always been criticized for numerous reasons. The late political scientist John E. Paynter once remarked that the Texas Constitution stands as a “perfect example of how not to write one.” I personally agree with the statement that the Constitution of Texas is definitely not an exemplary document and, therefore, I will prove my point of view with incontestable arguments and facts. The first problem, which becomes evident once an individual takes the Texas Constitution in hands, is the volume of the document. As opposed to the of the ...

Camus promotes the use of at least some mankind morality in order to act and behave ‘ethically’ right on our planet earth. But what are the ethics? How do they hinder or help humanity within the arts and the natural science? Ethical judgments can limit modern society thinking in many ways. Yet how many people are aware of these limitations and its affect on our spectrum of ...

This conclusion is arrived at after due consideration of the state of affairs. The paper shall canvass the considerations and equally move a step to giving three recommendations for the country and its leadership. On the onset, the paper’s assessment is that Mexico is on the right tract ...

A visit to the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles was inspiring and an enlightening experience.

Instead I found people from various ethnic groups: visitors, museum staff, guests, and participants in various exhibitions. Likewise, I also found the Japanese people to be very welcoming. In fact, the feeling of welcoming was so overwhelming that I felt ...

Gojira is a science fiction movie based on Japanese culture that was produced and directed by Toho and Ishirō Honda respectively (Tsutsui and Michiko 25). With the help of special effects specialist Eiji Tsuburaya, the director, and the producer of this film were able to exemplify the themes and consequently the main objective of this film (Johnston et.

In addition, this film makes apparent the role of America ...
