Begging the question

value. Five-hundred years later, leadership remains standing on some of the same foundations, questions, and values. Today’s society may have many reasons to believe in shared leadership. But, when push comes to shove Machiavelli composes valuable points. Being feared or loved, avoid hate, and being a ruler, are points Machiavelli makes which, resonates with me. To be feared or to be loved is a question many leaders have battled with for centuries. Many leaders are unsure which side they fall…

When I first started teaching there was not smartphones to be distracted by, no Facebook for my student’s to friend my on, it just seems don’t have the respect, or…

Are you new to the school?” And most occasionally , “What did you do during your summer break?” Whenever a teacher asks me “ Tell me about yourself” or “ Who are you? This is the part where my brain blocks itself from me for a good amount of time. For…

For Sherlock Holmes, in The Hound of the Baskervilles, who continually questions Mortimer whether the curse is legitimate, this comes as second nature due to his wise use of his intelligence. He even questions if the curse is a “fairy tale” due to suspicion in which he has about the curse (Doyle 8). In this narrative, Holmes continually questions himself on what to do…

Given the vast choices we have on this assignment, I have struggled to pick just one. Even picking just three is stressing my brain out to the point of just playing “Eeny Meeny Miney Mo”.
