By turning them into lower creatures, she uses them and then kills them at the right moment. To start with; Lady Brett Ashley is as a very odd character taking on masculine roles.

Sometimes this is a good thing and other times it is a bad thing and this is why celebrities need to function as a role model to their audience because of today's celebrity-obsessed society.

Celebrities now know that they have a function as a role model to their fans if they want to keep their celebrity status. They have a responsibility now, that celebrities did not have many years ago.

Mattie is a young woman who seeks to avenge her father’s death by murdering his killer: Tom Chaney.

Many years ago, I promised myself that I would never pursue medicine. At the time, the only thing I knew about the field was that my parents could never afford to see a doctor—even when they were sick.

When it comes to self-concept there are many views and perceptions that go deeper than just the outside of a person, according to McCornack,” Self-concept is your overall perception of who you are” (40).

Many of us have role models in our lives and to most people role models are athletes and movie stars, but to me a role model is much more. To me a role model is a person who has positively influenced someone in life, and is not a person filled with selfishness and greed. They help shape someone’s personality, and characteristics. They are people who someone can look up to for advice in a hard situation, and know that they will give those words of wisdom. They will never judge our past actions, instead

For decades, leadership is a fundamental role in every organization. It provides direction, motivation and inspiration to all members of the team to achieve organization’s goal.
