In “George Washington- First in War, First in Peace, First in theHearts of His Countrymen,” it is rather apparent throughout the wholechapter that George Washington was motivated by service, and not by gainingfame, glory, and honor.

The high medieval period in Europe was dominated by a succession of royal governors, an elite class who controlled the political landscape. Their rule was facilitated by a number of factors; first, by the force of their armies they maintained control of their respective territories, quelling any challenge or rebellion. Second, they performed the function of delivering justice and were thus a valuable source of law and order for their populace. Third, the support of the church, which influenced much of the population, inspired the belief that kings were a representative of god and had a god given right to rule. Fourth, their use of the feudal system, as well as the administration which accompanied it enabled them to keep their kingdoms and subjects in check.

General Washington could be classified with multiple leadership styles including leadership by example, a transformational leader or even a servant leader. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential leaders of all time and certainly was one of our greatest presidents. Looking first at his leadership style of leading by example, he knew that he had to set the way for the people of the United States to follow for years after his presidency and establish a norm for how the country should be governed. He has high expectations of the young country, and it was said that he “…carried a vision into his presidency and sought to ensure a well-ordered government based on both laws and reason. He believed that through using reason and being open to various viewpoints, citizens could arrive at proper laws and policies to ensure peace, prosperity, and happiness for the country (McNeilly, 168).” Washington was intelligent enough to know the importance of a strong leader in the early years of this new country.

In Umuofia the social status of the men in the village was defined by the size of their obi compound, the number of wives they had, their wealth, the number of sons they had, and their wrestling talent, ‘Okonkwo’s fame had grown like a bush-fire in the harmattan’. Achebe uses language that relates to their culture in this simile to indicate that Okonkwo’s sense of belonging within his village, gained through his self-definition as a strong warrior, determines his acceptance in society. Okonkwo hereby strives to make his way in a world that seems to value masculinity, yet his individual assertions are not always parallel with the collective strength of Umuofia. He shuns everything that his father stood for, as he considered him to be weak and an embarrassment to the values of society. This is shown in chapter one which describes how ‘Unoka, the grown up, was a failure.
