Behind his artful yet vivid years in power Caesar held firmly to the belief that honor and legacy were more important than death itself. With a mindset, radically poised, he lived with the belief that to create was more than an accomplish- it was necessary to living a worthy life. This concept has proved to withstand the test of time in Rome before, during and after the mighty reign of Julius Caesar. The everlasting creations produced by the Romans are still alive and well today and the knowledge of these creations continues to grow. The Evolution of Roman Engineering Throughout history certain milestones of engineering ingenuity were generated and perfected by the Roman civilization.

While this collapse took very little time to happen, the Roman Empire’s decline took about a century to occur. After the Pax Romana, the Roman Empire started to decline. The reasons were political and economic, and they had problems with foreigners. After the guard killed Commodus, they sold power to the highest bidder. This led to chaos every time a leader died.
Rome gained absolute power over those they had conquered. Their power came from dominance over others. The society of Rome helped lead to its power, and rise. Patria potestas was a concept important to Roman society. The patria potestas of the old civil law conferred on the father an
We will mainly discuss the leaders’ influence in building an effective team. How can leaders affect others to get the best of teams? An effective team is a kind of team with high performances. We can also say that this kind of teams can achieve everything in its main path. They share the similar elements: they all have a clear and effective structure; they all have an extremely good leader; they all embrace the accountability to have things done and mutual respect; they all have an efficient communication system and they all have learned from the past and enjoy the new things.
For this reason I find utilitarianism to be a much more valid concept. Regardless of their intentions, people must generally “fit in” with society in order to survive. Fitting in often requires an individual to make careful application of his behavior in a way that parallels the behavior of surrounding persons. By following these standards of right and wrong, one would likely find that both personal and public happiness benefit tremendously. It seems that humanity naturally follows utilitarian moral codes to which
Discuss the utilitarian view of morality Morality referrers to, for those who use it normatively, a code of conduct that applies to all who can understand it and can govern their behaviour by it. In the normal sense, morality should never be overridden, that is, no one should ever violate a moral prohibition or requirement for non moral considerations. A utilitarian believes that 'the right actions are those that produce the greatest total pleasure for everyone effected by their consequences, and wrong actions are those that do not.' The word utilitarian is derived from the Latin word 'utilis' which means useful. It is also referred to as the theory of utility and encourages us to behave in a way in which is useful to society.
Honest Iago,” (Act 1, scene 3, 293) The authority of his command reflects not only supreme confidence in his military prowess but also a great self-control and rationality. He is articulate and confident in himself and of his role in society. Othello defends his marriage in a sophisticated approach, speaking in an ardent manner to defend his position. His faith is absolute and he is prepared to stake his life upon his certain knowledge of Desdemona’s love. Nevertheless despite his self-control and his noble image, Othello
Aristotle and Kant were both brilliant philosophers, who each strongly supported and believed in their own arguments. They were similar in their approach to ethics; they both admire reason and rationality. The basic beliefs of Aristotle contrasted with the modern ideas of Immanuel Kant which offered a great match for an interesting view of human good and good will. However, after a thorough inspection of each philosopher's theories, I found that after initially leaning toward Aristotle’s theories I discovered that Kant's idea of good was found to be more captivating than Aristotle's, in that Kant's view addressed good in a complete sense through categorical obligations of man. Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and was passionate about the virtue ethics, as were a lot of the early philosophers in Greece.
When we examine the lives of famous people, we often see how personal values guided them, propelling them to the top of their fields. For example, one actor was motivated by his commitment to social justice, which led to important acting roles related to that value that made him world famous. Likewise, a well-known business CEO was motivated by the personal value that technology should be easy to use, which caused his company to spawn a technology revolution. Whatever one's values, when we take them to heart and implement them in the smallest details of our lives, great accomplishment and success are sure to follow. We see how political parties and politicians subscribe to certain core values ranging from helping the poor, easing the burden of the middle class, improving the environment, making government responsive and efficient, engendering loyalty and unity, and so forth.
