What makes a book stand the test of time, and also remain as a notable perspective within politics; having been written over five-hundred years ago? As for Machiavelli’s The Prince, scholars and politicians continue to find themselves drawing back to many of his perspectives on politics, and the qualities a good ruler. His insights on political leadership has sparked much debate over time, which is exactly why many continue to pursuit an understanding on his viewpoints, and their applications to today 's modern world. Throughout his novel, Machiavelli touches on multiple aspects of different qualities within a prince, and attempts to construct a layout of what is both effective and successful. After reading through the entire piece, the major key insights that became recognizable were the background of fortuna & virtu, human nature, and the importance of distinguishing whether to be feared or loved. The first chapter presents the reader with the concepts of Fortune and virtue, which become two distinct elements throughout the rest of the book, and their role surrounding a prince.

He goes to support these statements by using Italy’s Duke of Ferrara…

On one hand, it is unethical to assassinate the prince of Liechtenstein. Such a cruel act could set up a horrible future relationship for the US and Liechtenstein, making it…

Thesis: Saki, in The Interlopers says, We are trapped by our own ill will; to be free of it we need to put aside our violence by making peace and realizing the unimportance of it. We focus on ill will and let it consume us. As did Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym did, “as boys they had thirsted for one another’s blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other.” (Saki 7) They were raised into despising one another due to their family’s feud (that started generations ago…

also been greatly affected by the medieval latin theory - Memento mori which means “remember that you must die” which aid the same meaning as Vanitas. On the other hand, “Still Life with Palette” conveys meaning through the white cloth which represents vanity as the silk being the expensive material. The paintbrushes symbolise indulgence in the arts because very few could afford to be painters let alone favour the arts. The pot of different types of flowers symbolises innocence as well as…

One thing I find really interesting is that they rented some air-conditioned tents. I 'd never heard of that before, but it 's a great idea; I don 't know about New York, but it 's hot enough here in Georgia in July that I 'd see a $600,000 air-conditioned tent as a blessing! Okay, maybe not that expensive, but you get the point. At least it 's useful, unlike some things... 3. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel What I find interesting is that the $6.5 million (or $12 million, depending on who…

Our veterans helped us with so many things in the past, but the most important one is freedom. Without independence, our generation’s everyday life would be played out so much differently. If you know who Morgan Freeman, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, or Chuck Norris are then, you’ve known an USA veteran. For example, Morgan Freeman, enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1955 and trained as a fighter pilot until after four whole years of his training he left the Air Force. His exact words…
