The development of one society is, to an extent, determined by the influences certain leaders have on the people in the times of hardship. It is simply a concept that is to convince a certain group of people to strive towards a specific goal or mission. Whether a Prophet, King, Writer, Leader of War, or a simple boy in society, they all can have an impact on ones society and forever more change the way people live in years to come. Isaiah was a Hebrew Prophet that lived about 700 years before…

Contemporary historians tend to dismiss the economic policies of Stalin as being illogical and overly fantastical. While their beliefs may have some basis, it is important to understand the political atmosphere during Stalin’s time in order to further comprehend the Stalinist rationality. When Stalin rose to power, he deviated from Lenin through his desire to achieve socialism in one country; he believed that the Soviets had to be capable of being self-reliant before being able to help other…

I had the opportunity to meet an excellent entrepreneur, from whom, I have learned some valuable lessons. I am accustomed to hearing about entrepreneurs and their entrepreneurial roots; along the lines of having someone in their family that has been involved in a business or have owned one. I was glad to be able to interview Amit Rambaran, and get a different perspective on what it means to be an entrepreneur. Amit was not raised in a family which entrepreneurship was much of an option, for two…

centuries and is still present today. At the very heart of the principle, imperialism is racist. It is the belief that all white men are morally obligated to “help” (or rule) all non-white people groups of the Earth. At the time of the publication of Joseph Conrad’s book “Heart of Darkness,” “The White Man’s Burden” had just been released and Europe was entirely consumed with the “scramble for Africa.” It is clear that both “The White Man’s Burden” and the “Scramble for Africa” heavily…

1.3 Research Gap There is a research gap concerning the understanding of the challenges that social entrepreneurs face in emerging economies of Latin America. The entrepreneurial landscape in this region entails difficulties in terms of institutional voids, which is why it is interesting to comprehend how these actors in the economy deal with social, economic and environmental tensions. 1.4 Conceptual Perspective To better understand the challenges that social entrepreneurs face in Latin…

beginning to penetrate into some of those unknown regions, bringing European government, religion, and attitudes to people otherwise deemed “savage.” The effect of this process of colonialism has been famously documented in two widely different novels, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1902) and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1959). Both of these writers, to great extent, portray the negative effects that colonialism had on the African people, with Conrad…

War is not a glorious thing that can be justified with words. In the poem Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen and the song titled Hero of War by Rise Against, both men convey the theme that wr is not something that should be taken lightly or embraced with with open arms. Both men use different stylistic devices to help them educate readers on the reality of war. Through tone, imagery, and mood Wilfred Owen and Rise Against show that war can impact the world, soldiers, and other innocent people…

Okefenokee Swamp, “a convenient point of entry and a magnificent show-window for the “Land of the Trembling Earth”, yet it's not just what the description makes it out to be. Passage one may hint at that, but in passage two the magnificent in the description switches to hellish by the style in which the author writes. Although the passages are largely about the same thing passage one intends to draw visitors towards the swamp, while passage two warns against travel to the “hellish zoo”.…

The individuals of society come together to work towards a goal that is unachievable individually. This goal is seen to be a collaborative effort from all the individuals. In the Russian Revolution of 1917, the underrepresented lower class revolted against their imperial government. Their effort was rewarded with a government representing the different classes of society, but it quickly turns into a totalitarianism controlled by Stalin. These events are paralleled with the events in Animal Farm.…
