David Mazahreh English 110 Professor Bliss The Hero and the Villain The history of mankind was never short of wars and battles. During that chaos, many controversial characters were widely known by posterity. Those controversial characters were thought to be heroes because they won many battles as leaders with daringness, or they saved many people’s lives. They were also thought to be villains because they did many inhuman slaughters. A true historical bio has never been accomplished.
We view through the film Paradise Road by Bruce Beresford, as the conflict of enduring a war has encompassed during a cultural misunderstanding. We view those who may not at times seem to stand up for themselves. Martin Luther King Jnr presents to us his honour and dignity when faced with conflict. Through the stories of these people we see that conflict can often breed further disagreement and suffering, as it may act in extraordinary ways. We are each led to articulate through responses in conflict, to realize who we truly are.
To Subdue an Enemy Interpretation is a key concept in living a civil lifestyle and governing a civil country. Abraham Lincoln had many interpretations that were objected that directly a country fighting a civil war. These actions, though controversial were key stepping stones in restructuring a nation that had fallen apart. Lincoln, now viewed as the “Great Emancipator”, was not always viewed as so in the eyes of his fellow countrymen. Many of his decisions led to uproar, but one in the end set the ground for the United States as we know it today.
No one had ever created a government before so making the new nation wasn’t easy. Being the winners of the Revolutionary war is one of the many things America has done that is great. It was very difficult but we did it and with that came our freedom and new nation. George Washington, Geography, Foreign assistance, and the spirit of the colonists were all great help along the way. George Washington had great leadership abilities that were a big contribution.
Of all the ideas and theories Clausewitz presented in On War, my belief is that the most important and enduring elements are his idea that war is an extension of policy, his analysis of strategy, the trinity theory and his explanation of the components of war including friction in war, the fog of war and his centre of gravity theory. These ideas and theories from Clausewitz’s On War will be discussed in this essay and presented as his most important and enduring contributions to the theory of warfare. Clausewitz defined war as “an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfil our will” (Clausewitz, P101) but argued that war should only be entered into when diplomatic methods fail as war is a continuation of politics and controlled by a political objective which is aimed at improving the situation. However war can therefore can vary depending on the nature of the policy and society of the time in which the war is waged. Clausewitz stated that success in war requires clear political aims and an adequate strategy (Clausewitz, P101).
Andrew J. Hamilton Mrs. Hale AP English 11 24 January 2014 A Great Man during Hard Times A common misconception is that all southerners before and during the civil war were believers of slavery, however Confederate General Robert E. Lee didn’t believe in slavery (Connelly 176). Robert E. Lee lived during one of the roughest times in American history. The Civil War not only pitted brother against brother, but it also forced Robert E. Lee to fight against his former classmates and acquaintances. Robert E. Lee could have been the commanding general of either army but he chose the Confederacy due to his roots in Virginia (Connelly 178). Along with being a brilliant military commander, Lee also wrote a few pieces of literature, which
Cesar Gutierrez Jr. History 1301 George Washington When thinking of George Washington, first president of the U.S. is probably the first fact that comes to mind. We grow up learning that at such a young age, and sadly that’s probably the only thing some know about him. The numerous amounts of victories in such difficult battles is quite mind blowing, leaves you wondering where we’d be if it wasn’t for him. Which is why George Washing is known as the Father of the U.S. and many will argue, the best president of the U.S. by far. Washington was born on February 22,1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia and was the first son of his father Augustine Washington and his second wife Mary B. Washington.
How can the role of leadership be best understood in organizational change The role of leadership can best be understood in organizational change as a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Depending on the conceptualisation of organizational change you adopt, the leader’s role could be perceived to be a variety of things, from that of an initiator/visionary, the influencer of culture, a trigger for follower organizational identification, someone who redefines resistance, or a sense maker who introduces new discourses. The most useful approach can be to consider an issue from a number of different theoretical points of view before determining the most effective intervention. Leadership has been conceived of in a multitude of different ways varying from Great man theory (Borgatta, Bales and Couch, 1954; Cawthon, 1996), trait theories (), and style theories (). More recent conceptualisations of leadership include contingency theory (), and transformational leadership ().
America Essay How many countries have won as many wars as the United States? Who has fought harder for freedom than North America? My answer would be nobody; America is still the best country. Our nation has the most fit and determined military, we have invented many important technologies, and other countries envy the freedom of America. America has won nearly every war that we’ve been involved it.
