The Psychology of Power and Evil Leadership Everyone has the potential to be a leader. I believe that conscience choices made on a daily basis reflect our…

The plan, named NSAM highlighted that the U.S. would support Vietnam as long as needed, however it included this major key point, “the South Vietnamese must win their own fight [emphasis added]” (274). Even though it seemed to be a major focus point, McNamara adds that this policy in the later years of Vietnam was continually failed to be upheld (274). Seasoned Vietnam combat veteran Philip Beidler…

In the book "The Lorax" composed by Dr. Seuss, there untruths numerous implications behind all activities and characters inside the film. The Lorax concentrates on logging, and the reducing of the common world and how individuals today need more of…

“Nemo me impune lacessit”, no one attacks me without impunity. Montresor a character in Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” certainly lived by this motto. As the main character and narrator Montresor is introduced at the very beginning of the story where he explains his need for revenge against Fortunato and what he perceives to be Fortunatos weakness. The story continues when Montresor meets Fortunato at the carnival and tempts Fortunato to follow him down into the catacombs in search…

Hitler managed to lead the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, later known as the Nazi Party, into a historic World War. The Nazis appealed to many different groups, including the working class, farmers, and the middle class appeal as well, especially as the Party grew. Hitler was also able to gain support from…

Death is often viewed as a tragic, terrible event, yet it it also often romanticized. Despite the horror that was World War I, emphasis is often placed on the heroic bravery of the soldiers. Likewise, the ancient Greeks glorified death, especially death in battle. Kleos, a word which roughly translates as “glory” or “reputation,” perfectly represents the Greek desire to be remembered as a hero.

As a society, parents and teachers try to teach us, children the difference between what’s ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. And as Wardekker puts it, human beings are meaning-givers (2004) – we attempt to define what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ about our thoughts and actions, as well as what is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ of ourselves and others. Through the film (Red Light Revolution), I learnt that pride, specifically face value is very important in the Chinese culture. Moreover, I also learn that sex is a relatively…

power to determine who she is. After she has been branded by the community as an adulterous slut, she surprisingly chooses to stay in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a caregiver for the community, instead of escaping to Boston where she can begin a shameless life. She gives a calm response to Chillingworth when she hears that the government officials were considering to allow Hester to remove the scarlet letter, saying that “it lies not in the pleasure of the magistrates to take off this badge”…
