To be an effective leader we need to understand our own style of leadership. My leadership style is transformational. A transformational leader is enthusiastic, innovative, charismatic, and serves as a mentor for subordinates (Deluga & Sauza, 1991). In this essay will discuss how characteristics of transformational can be applied in my workplace. I am surprised to find my assessment in this style, I feel that I my leadership style is procedural yet the results show I’m quite the opposite.…

War, it has been and occurring issues for decades and centuries. Two major events that struck and caused the United States to take part in war were, World War Two attacks on Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces and the terrorist attacks of September eleventh (9/11). A presidential address was made for both attacks on the nation, one by President Roosevelt on the attacks on Pearl Harbor, “A Date Which Will Live in Infamy” and the other later in the years by President Bush, “A Great People Has Been…

Industrial Revolution, they controlled most of the wealth, and thought that since they or their parents worked hard to get it they deserved it. The Republican Party was corrupt at this time, and was more successful than the Democrats. All the Republican Presidents during this time period were corrupt in some way, and even the leaders of the Republican Party were corrupt, men like Roscoe Conkling and James G. Blaine. In fact, there was so much corruption that reformers were few and frowned upon…

The Land of the Unfree The word “patriot” has changed in meaning throughout time; however it has always seemed to be defined as someone that vigorously supports their country. Within the last few decades terrorism has become a major issue and if it wasn’t for the creation of the USA Patriot Act in 2001, by President George W. Bush, we probably would have had a larger amount of terrorist attacks then we actually had. The Patriot Act has helped monitor foreign communications, as well as…

Before, Fidel Castro became president there was a time where Cuba was like the rest of Latin America it held a religious foundation. The Communist Party ruled the island, so churches were closed, nationalized properties owned by a religious organization. Soon, little by little, religion made a comeback; the government eased restrictions on open displays of religion and even churches were reopened.…

As a Criminal Justice Major and to take it even further as an African American male I have found it hard to sometimes distinguish what is legally right and what morally wrong when it comes to justice in certain aspects. This article is an eye opener on another group of people who have been legally and morally wronged by America with its idea of “War on Terrorism”. I’d like to start off with a quote from the last sentence in the article that stated “Then everybody was seen like suspects”. To me…

Rhetoric is the act of writing or speaking in order to persuade. In order to excel as an orator or writer one must be able to convince an audience of the importance of their subject matter.

However, this is no simple task, when writing or preparing a speech the author must contemplate their message, and the audience in an effort to persuade even the most resistant spectator. So…

In my opinion, the speech ‘I Have A Dream’ by Martin Luther King Jr. was a better speech in many ways than ‘Glory And Hope’ by Nelson Mandela. The similarities between both the speeches were many too. Both the speeches have many metaphors in them like ‘A promissory note, a bad check’ in MLK’s speech and ‘As intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.’ in Mandela’s speech. The metaphors that are…
