Eisenhower's Code Of Ethics

Improved Essays
Dwight David Eisenhower, possibly one of the greatest presidents we have had in the United States. As our 34th president, he not only created organizations like NATO and NASA. Eisenhower also became famous for his "Atoms of Peace" speech over the rising tension of the Cold War. Before Eisenhower became our president he acquired a five-star rank as a general in December of 1944. A rank that only nine Americans have achieved since its establishment in World War Two. A remarkable military leader and president, Eisenhower is deserving of the title, "A positive leader" due to his success with the Civil Rights movement, World War two, and diplomacy during the Cold War.
Every candidate that runs for the office of the president has a campaign and within those campaigns, the candidate has values. Some of the more notable values of Eisenhower are

We both value education, equality, and duty to our country. However, I believe the difference between our code of ethics is how much we value the duty to our country. Eisenhower went off to serve in the military to support our country, whereas I, stay back here in the United States doing service projects for our troops through Girl Scouts. I’m not exactly someone you would find on the front lines of the military. A more in-depth similarity Eisenhower and I have is the value of education. While I may not be willing to hatch out a deal like he and his brother did, I am willing to fight for the right that everyone should have an education, even if they cannot afford it. Another similarity is the value we share of equality, Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, while I stand up for racial and gender discrimination within the halls of Gettysburg Area High School. A difference between our code of ethics is his value of patience. While I have some patience, I cannot wait all day, especially if it’s for something that’s not important. I am what many people call,

Eisenhower. A former World War II general, Eisenhower had a reputable career in the military and captured the hearts of millions of Americans, thus launching his campaign to become President in 1953. As President, Eisenhower was in the midst of a changing world, dealing with much abroad and domestically, such as the Cold War and the Supreme Court decision for school desegregation. While Wicker’s biography was informative in outlining Eisenhower’s election, presidency, and lasting impact, it fell short in describing Eisenhower holistically by largely focusing on his failures and not the positive outcomes of his presidency.…

    Calvin Coolidge’s values were timeless, and beneficial to all people. He understood the importance of doing everything to the best of his abilities, he supported the voting equality of women, he enjoyed learning simply for learning’s sake, and he never believed that he was any worthier than the rest of America.

Calvin Coolidge went to school in order to become a lawyer, and he put as much time and dedication into his studies and his law firm as he did into his political career. Following his time as a lawyer, he eventually became governor of Massachusetts.…

Nevertheless, when the esteemed director telephoned Hislop to tell him that “I want out of this project,” the mogul was thankful to take control over this ruinous film – as it would be a welcomed distraction from his private crisis – the titan of Xanadu, therefore, announced, “I’ll be there to help, so there’s no need to pull out now. I bet this movie will garner you an academy award.” He stopped talking so that Brenso could contemplate the significance of what the seemingly magnanimous man was saying, and once the director uttered his words of thanks, the…
