Prince Escalus

Mcdonalds freewrite (5 minutes) So the whole situation happened when I looked at my schedule on 1/3/2016 and noticed that I was working from 8:00am-10:30am on 1/7/2016 Wednesday. It was weird how I was scheduled to work two and a half hours because I have not been scheduled to work that short amount of time in about a whole year. Nevertheless, I was not disappointed because my great grandmother was turning 88 on that day. So I made plans to spend time with her after work. On 1/6/2016 I double…

Tuesday, November 10th: Today I was at Hospice Home. It was the Hospice Home building location, not the home visits. I had a good experience with the nurse I shadowed and learned a lot. I learned quickly that being a Hospice nurse at the Hospice Home is very different than other types of nursing. Right away something that stuck me is that the nurses in this setting have more autonomy in their practice. They make a lot more independent decisions and then just notify the physician as to what they…

During a time of political turmoil, it is hard to know who to trust, and who should lead. In “The Prince” Machiavelli lists a plethora of guidelines as to how a prince should gain political power along with ways for them to ensure this power is long-lasting. Although Socrates and Machiavelli both lived in time periods with serious political issues, Socrates would not support Machiavelli’s concept of a Prince, or any type of government created as a result of Machiavellian principles. This is due…

Brandon’s Wedding’s Effect On Me During the span of 5 days, I realized how I want to live my life. I started my trip September 10th to go to my cousin Brandon’s wedding.

words “fortune” and “Virtue” to talk about two different ways a prince can come to power. “Virtue” refers to a person's actions or skill, while “fortune” talks about chance or luck.The Prince determines how much of a prince’s successfulness or tragedies are caused by his own free will and how much is chosen by nature or the environment in which he lives. Machiavelli applies this question specifically to the failure of past to other princes. In chapter 25, Machiavelli talks about fortune when he…

In The Prince, Machiavelli writes on how a prince is to take power and how to maintain his position (Ryan, 2012, p.364). The concept of virtù is introduced, as an essential component that a prince must possess. It could be translated as the ability, quality or determination that secures political success (Ryan, 2012, p.375). Machiavelli finds an example of a virtuous prince in Cesare Borgia, described as a skillful leader who was only defeated by the negative effects of fortuna (Ryan, 2012,…

will make the populace hate and hold contempt for the Prince. He presents various strategies to help said Prince avoid gaining the people’s ire. One such way is by having a Messer Remirro de Orco to be, “laid in two in pieces on the public square.” The scapegoat is an essential part being to a true Machiavellian leader, but it can be utilized poorly. The mark of a good ruler is the ability to know when and how to use their de Orco. In the Prince, Machiavelli retells the story of Cesare Borgia or…

Confucius once said, “When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of.” Proverbs 28:2 also declaratively stated that “When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.” This two wise quotes proves that to have a peaceful country is to have better rulers and laws first. If rules are disobeyed, then consequently…
