Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the desired result in audience attitudes.

There are many factors that go into warfare. There is the leadership of an individual with the power to make or break a military strategy or tactic. Public opinion can heavily influence the support or opposite of the people behind a war. Technology is always advancing and becomes more and more devastating as time progresses.

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.
Not only do they deal with traditional calls such as assaults, robberies, or murders, but they also must encounter soldiers dealing with PTSD or other mental debilitations that come from the high stress environment of combat deployments. To deal with any situation that may arise on a military instillation, MP’s have access to many of the resources of a much larger civilian department. They maintain a specific Military Occupational Specialty for K-9 officers, giving access to K-9 units whenever required. Whenever Ordinance Disposal or Aviation is required, the Military Police Corps utilizes the separate Army branches of Ordinance and Aviation respectively (“What’s it like to be an Army MP” 1).

The Roman army was a complete fighting force, using superior technology including armour and weapons, the money to not only have a professional army but to well equip it, utilising superior soldiers with amazing engineering skills and multi-faceted training and commanders with a clear understanding of what is required during a sustained campaign to become the one of the most powerful war machines the ancient world ever saw. The strength of the army was so great that it became a tool of political ambitions, used in both the invasion and occupation of countries and even in a military coup under Julius Caesar. Ancient Roman society was very militaristic, and the army was naturally a central part of their society. The Roman army was made entirely from Roman citizens (with the exception of the mercenary cavalry) and was under the direct control of the Roman emperor. To become eligible to join the senate at the age of 25, a young Roman first had to have some experience in the art of war and in commanding men.
Leadership and Management Suzanne Hickle 6/09/2014 LDR/300 Mark Guberman Winston Churchill was what many would call a world of a leader. He led his country through the biggest turmoil of the 20th century. In present day his notoriety and leadership ability is still a common desire among politician figure heads as well as those leading a country through a difficult time. Being a good leader is not always about what you have accomplished or what you have defeated in your time served. Having leadership skills is what makes a good leader a great leader.
In order for the United States to satisfy their need to maintain their spot as a world superpower, the desire for increasing the amount of military defense spending is at the top of the government’s list of priorities. One could argue that the United States’ extreme amount of military government spending is the result of the reputation of being the “peacekeeper” of the world or “the world’s police officer” due to the United States’ tendency of intervening with other nation’s problems or wars. Most if not all Americans would agree with the idea of being peacekeepers of the world; but none are aware of the real absurdity of the amount spent by the United States for the military. As of 2012, the amount for the Defense Spending Budget of the United States annually totaled almost 600 billion dollars. On a list of defense spending by country, the United States is ranked first or the highest amount spent.
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.

War itself has been an ever-present around the world across thousands of years and has, as the years progressed, evolved and shaped the world in many ways. Be it in the pursuit of dominance by invasion, revolution against tyranny or freedom from oppressive forces, war has always managed to be a major part of political life, an endgame tactic or a show of power and force. With the rise of mass communications and media a new avenue and direction for war has come to light. Film in particular has taken this stance and through film you have seen this last century a rise in public participation and/or condemnation in the war process. No longer can a government wage a war with disregard of the consequences, through the avenue of film the public are able to make their own voices and perceptions heard and broadcast to the masses.
