Overall I disagree with this view because, even though some parts of domestic policy were successful for Henry VIII and Wolsey, most aspects of domestic policy failed. For example Wolsey used the Courts to get revenge on old enemies as well as giving justice to all people despite their status or wealth. Source 7 suggests that Wolsey was a useless chief minister and only survived because he knew how to please Henry. Source 8 agrees with source 7 but also says that he was successful in 'centralising English politics'. Source 9 was written by George Cavendish and gives a positive view of Wolsey's contribution to domestic policy.
Previous kings had only used the Chamber erratically in times of war however Edward decided to make it more systematic, which in turn siphoned in much more money. This point does support how Edward was a good king because all sources show that it was his idea, not his exchequer. Edwards new policy showed that he managed the royal finances well because it meant that more revenue was coming in therefore he could run the country, as well as start paying of Henry’s debts. Additionally it meant that he could live of his own because he did not have to ask parliament to raise a tax. I think that this was possibly the most important cause to
Another way that Edward IV proved that he was not a ‘puppet king’ as Henry VI was seen as was by removing Warwick’s brother, George Neville, as chancellor. However, although these events showed that he was not controlled by Warwick, there were many failures that outweigh his successes when it came to dealing with the over mighty subjects. Edward was said to have ‘alienated’ Warwick, which then caused him to become over mighty. Warwick was the biggest land owner in England and therefore had a lot of power, maybe even too much power as some people thought when it came to Edwards’s decision. Edwards marriage to Woodville was said to show favouritism as he subsequently gave the Woodville family titles and arranged the best marriages possible for Elizabeth’s sister, meaning that Warwick’s daughters did not get the desired marriages.
Wolsey and Henry’s relationship was at times a servant, master relationship with Henry using Wolsey to his advantage as a scapegoat instead of him being blamed for issues which he, himself may have made. Henry was over all in charge of Wolsey, knowing when and how to control him. But at times Wolsey appeared to be the dominant figure with him putting his own priorities within the policies rather than obeying henry and doing what he wished. Although Wolsey did do Henry’s bidding at times he could also be the dominant figure. Wolsey was the dominant figure due to his sometimes false relationship with Henry.
This won the favor of the public in many ways, mainly due to the fact that they saw a president who was representing them, rather than only wanting to put themselves into a higher position. However, not all that Jackson did during his presidency was looked very highly upon. One major incident that occurred because of Jackson was his choice to put Samuel Swartwout, who had a known criminal
In addition to Curley though, George’s action can be seen as an act of justice as he kept others out of harm’s way from Lennie’s inexcusable but accidental strength. Although George’s decision can be justified, they can more so be condemned. By George’s continuous verbal expression of his anger towards Lennie, it does seem to only bring them closer; their co-dependent relationship would cease to exist without one another. Throughout the text the idea of “i got you... and you got me ...” is thoroughly explored. The two men have something that many of the men on ranches in the 1930’s wish they all had; a partner.
In later readings, I find that Gilgamesh is over steppes his position, just like most of us do. At some point of time a lot of us, think we are better than the other person, but I have come to find out through my, own experience that we are all the same no matter what our position is. When Endkidu and Gilgamesh meet for the first time, it is because Gilagamesh thinks he can do whatever he wants, because of his position of king. What is funny is that when two people, that do not like each other, end up as allies. It happens more than we know it even in these
This quote was beneficial during his coaching years to help discipline his players. The team had a reputation for winning so many games; but, he wanted to teach his players that building their character is more important than being seen as winners. It is merely what everyone else sees them as only. Mr. Wooden worries more about his students’ character than their reputation because character repeats champions not reputation.
It is not only the Social Learning Theory, but it is also Social Identity Theory due to the fact that Fred is in the group that is “better” than the other group. This is a far-fetched scenario because most people would know what is right and wrong, but Fred came from a place where he never saw other races or religions and therefore only now knows what his new friends are telling him is the
However, he was a very good conqueror. He wasn’t even forced to go into this war. He decides to start wars because he thinks he has a lot of power. He could’ve been doing something good for other people but only came up with ideas to show himself. I think Napoleon is a bad leader because I don’t like leaders that focus
