“JFK: A Great Life to a Horrible Death” Why was JFK such a great man? Why was he so important to American History? Was it his amazing work ethic? His education background? The fact the he was a war hero?
And by which he stimulated the development of gold and silver coinage on the Lydian’s model. Conversely, Cyrus the great had reasonable values in high morals and ethical background he allowed in his empire that led him to score a high rank among the greatest of all time leaders. He was the greatest political leaders of human history and he displayed an ethical state of mind that allowed him to expand his powers of being a great leader. And because of this Cyrus the great is the greatest human figure to ever live in the world in which is why he stands out amongst the other
Dwight Howard has the edge in many categories, such as athleticism. There is no doubt these two gentlemen are both great players, and dominant big men, but Dwight Howard deserves the title more than Shaq. Shaq was athletic early in his career, but Howard took it to a whole new level. Howard is quite possibly the most athletic big man to play the game. He is 6’11” tall; He comes armed with a 7’6” wingspan and a 40” vertical (“nba.com”).
In my opinion... I think Muhammad Ali is one of the best, if not the best, boxers of all time. He was an influential leader not only inside the ring, but throughout the world. His overwhelming confidence captured millions, bringing the sport of boxing the publicity it has always deserved. Though many criticized his brash comments, he became a role model of children across the naton.
I also discussed who he is, what he did to become such a great leader, when did they became a leader, where leadership characteristics were shown, and why he is a leader. Washington knew how to take charge, keep his subordinates informed, and prepare clear, concise operation orders. George Washington has gone down in history being one of the greatest leaders that has lived, and made a huge impact on society as we know
Lincoln was often criticized when he was President and even labeled as a tyrant for his flagrant ways by the Democrats (History Channel). After his assassination he was honored for his civil liberties and became to be known as a very tolerant President and did the best to run his country in the most humble and honorable manner. Today, we find that President Lincoln’s assassination was a loss for the country despite the respect and acknowledgement he received that was not given to him while he was in office. It’s a shame that America did not see how he truly cared about each person who lived in the United States of America and wanted nothing but the best for the country and those living in it such as the slaves in which he helped to gain civil rights for during the Civil War. “When a man contributes something of vast importance to a nation, he is set above others and revered” (Schwartz 29), one great man and President who defines that phrase is President Abraham Lincoln, who was taken from the nation way too soon and is the President I most admire and that is admired and modeled by many politicians and citizens of this glorious nation.
He was one of the founding fathers and helped create the greatest republic throughout history. AMERICA. As his story is so inspiring coming from no where and building his way up to the top he creates and teaches a commending belief that if you work hard enough and have a final goal you can get to where you want to be. Hamilton wanted a free and well ruled country called America. And that is exactly what he intended to get.
He was considered as a powerful advocate of liberty during the 18th century. He was called “Man of the People” for being involved1. Jefferson was wealthy and had owned more than 100 slaves, only five of those 100 he had freed. He was known to have rare sophistication, but was said to be a great conversationalist. He was considered a best writer and one of the nation’s most creative men.
Brandon Warren November 3, 2013 Jackson Free Response APUSH Tyrant: One who uses their power to impose their will on the people, with no regard for law or ethics, a despot or dictator. Andrew Jackson’s presidency is commonly seen as one of blatant disregard for checks and balances, law, and the Constitution in general. However, Jackson did nothing that would fall outside of presidential jurisdiction, or that would be considered unconstitutional. Jackson was not a tyrant running roughshod over the Constitution, because he followed checks and balances, and the constitutional rights of the president when he signed the South Carolina Force Bill, when he vetoed the bank charter, and when he removed Native Americans in the Deep South.
Sadly, one of the only reasons that Taft even made his way to up the political ladder was because he had political connections through his father. When a reporter informed him he was no Teddy Roosevelt, Taft replied that his goal was to "try to accomplish just as much without any noise"- Now what sort of president would settle for doing whatever it takes with no “noise”? He wanted no attention and no recognition to his terms in presidency. Most importantly, Taft had surrounded himself with conservative businessmen who shared his love for golf and recreation at fine resorts; time Taft took golfing, could have been time spent improving the country. His new business associates isolated Taft from the progressive followers of Roosevelt who had supported his election.
