Long after the years where they had to fight for their land and their freedom (by the way, at the expense of the American Indians), they seem to have become completely paranoid. The September 11, 2001 tragedy did not help to invert that trend. So why is that so? The answer that Michael Moore is presenting in "Bowling for Columbine” is that Americans are being controlled by fears, oh, not their own, but fears actually instilled by repetitive and diverse media coverage. According to him, the constant spreading of fears of just about anything and anyone is benefiting some large corporations as well as the authorities in place.

They were dishonored because of their bad fame. Thucydides persuaded by point out that all the citizens knew the advantages of a brave defense. On the battlefield, they became glorified because of their fearless spirit and ran away from the word of dishonor. The speaker also interpreted the word of dishonor by comparing the contribution which the dead made and the evil they did.
Martin on the other hand taught an ideology of love and unity. As quoted after a trip to India where he met with Gandhi he said, "Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation." (Wikipedia) Martin used this ideology as a base for his movement and the way to go about it. From this he worked toward his dream, a dream which was for a world without segregation and equality amongst the races.
It was Amir’s betrayal rather than the rape itself which destroys the relationship between Amir and Hassan and ultimately forces him to leave the home he grew up in. The betrayal of Amir ensured him (the adult Amir) to never forget Hassan's great loyalty and never stopped feeling guilty, which have him a strong reasons to repay the debt. Hassan’s loyalty is so great that it gives Amir the courage to stand up to Assef and endures the beating from him in order to save Hassan’s son. The quote on page 326 “I had played a cruel game with Hassan that day…I deserved it” said by Amir after rescuing
He adopted a nonviolent approach and was willing to defy laws created by man that he felt were inconsistent with the laws of a higher authority. His power and influence transformed our country. Although the Four Functions of Management cover only part of what it is to be a manager, they serve as the core principles of what every manager must do.

It also seemed that when Montresor was building the brick wall, while Fortunado was moaning behind it, Montresor seemed to regret everything he was doing. But then he realized that if he freed Fortunado, Fortunado would probably go to the police and then he would go to prison. I see that Montresor is a lot like many people today. Most people don't realize that they won't ever be able to justify themselves until it is just too late and something terrible has happened. Today it may seem that people do not take insults seriously however people do and the people that say those insults now a days may possibly die for saying it.
Courage can be portrayed as both physical bravery and strength, but fighting for what is right regardless of whether you win or lose takes more strength in character, and is ultimately more courageous.

(Lee 116) Of all, the greatest demonstration of courage is Atticus’ fight for Tom Robinson’s life.
