Hongwu had initially planned his successor to be Prince Biao, his eldest son. Later on his son, Yiwen portrayed impressive personal and military qualities that made him his father’s choice. In 1392 Yiwen died, Hongwu appointed Yiwen's son as his heir (Tsai). Taizong and Hongwu portrayed several differences as emperors. While emperor Taizong inherited his thrown direct from his father, Hongwu had to start from scratch.
Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.
Because of the impact of the society and parents plus the evolution of new technologies, young people are less and less able to communicate face to face. Young people are losing the ability to socialize face to face because of parents and society. A few decades ago, parents and the society used to be more flexible about freedom. Nowadays, a lot of parents choose to “shortened the leash on their kids” by limiting their independence because they feel that it is the best way to protect their children from what is happening in the outside world such as child-abduction for example. Not only are parents stricter, but the actual society as well.
Napoleon Eulogy Napoleon Bonaparte was a lifelong friend of mine and also one of France’s most successful Emperors. He had an abundant source of energy, and a surprising ability to make quick decisions even in the most pressured situations. These traits and his keen intelligence allowed him to influence the people of whom he ruled over and gain their support. He was truly a supernatural, supporting the fact that he finished three year classes in only a year in school, became a second lieutenant straight out of school, and won many wars being in control of France and its artilleries. His accomplishments followed a significant pattern, all of which led up to him being the Emperor.
His father was named Zichu – the heir of the emperor Chin Shaodi and the son of Prince Chin'an'guo. Shi Huangdi was an intelligent leader who accomplished many feats in his life, and has had a profound influence on Chinese history and culture. However he was also a despotic emperor who was known well for his brutality and cruel punishments. But, do we really know the history of Shi Huang enough? Qin Shi Huang’s greatest achievement was unifying China.
However, the relationship is one-sided, because his father expects him to be obedient and not argue with him. This a disappointing relationship because Henry's father tries to force Henry to do something he doesn't want to, also Henry decides not to go and disappoints his father. Another scene that shows the complexity of the relationship between Henry and his father is on page 263. His father is on his deathbed, and he tells Henry “I did it for you”, mentioning the letters that Henry had sent and received. Henrys’ father acted selfishly by stopping the communication between Henry and Keiko.
China has been the home for many great dynasties that have influenced everything from economy to culture. These great dynasties all span from the rise of one great dynasty to the tragic fall of the other. Each dynasty influenced the other and determined the outcome of China’s success. The Tang and Song dynasties (618-1279) were the for runners for China’s history and achievements. Tang emperors held a very strong control over China, which allowed the territory to gradually expand.
In Dead Poets Society, Welton Academy strongly follows the empty vessel theory, where the school believed that teenagers cannot think for themselves until knowledge is poured into their brains by society. The boys were expected to follow the rules and let their lives be guided by the school motto or suffer the consequences of a bleak future. Neil Perry is an example of what could happen if you don’t conform. Neil became unhappy and dissatisfied with his father’s plan for his life and inevitably suicided in the end. This would not have happened if he abided by the rules.
Such theories include that “boys need a competitive and confrontational learning environment, while girls can only succeed if they work cooperatively and are not placed under stress” (Sherwin). However, this theory can be proved wrong due to the fact that women cope better with stress than men do, which is one of the main reasons why women tend to outlive men (Barber). This theory also provides a clear example of how gender stereotypes are being forced into the minds of boys and girls in a school setting. If a school starts to separate boys and girls from each other due to such theories, girls will start to make excuses for their poor test scores, etc. by saying that they were “too stressed out” to do well on a homework assignment, test, quiz, etc.
On technical grounds, however, arguing from “Dr. So-and-So said this about global warming” to “We need such and such laws put into effect regarding factory emissions” is, while noble and probably a good idea, invalid. The Appeal to Authority fallacy is also often committed in strong family structures. In this situation, however, care must be taken. The statement, made by a father figure with established “authority” in his household to his son, “You can’t use the car tonight because it’s mine and I say so!” is not an appeal to the same type of “authority” I am discussing in this paper.
