also called a despot and bigot? Despot is defined as a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way. (Merriam-Webster Online, n.d.) Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line. He was a visionary leader who revolutionized both. Despite all the great things he did, I consider him as an unethical leader. The purpose of my essay is show how Ford used…
Henry Ford: An Influential Figure From the days of Leonardo Da Vinci until the days of Karl Benz, many cars models were introduced. Steam, electric, and gasoline models were invented.

Pumpkins have shaped me into what I am today. Well, not exactly pumpkins, but for the last twelve years my family’s business has given me the opportunity to discover my strengths and talents, while financially supporting my collegiate aspirations. I am who I am because this experience has influenced me to become a hard-working, people savvy and business-minded young woman.

filled with trauma, death, violence, blood, a place where you fight for what you believe up close and personal the great front lines. Then if that is the case then why do we never see women if we are all equal then why do women not even get the chance to prove they are worthy.

It was what he was doing then, feeding natural-born enmity to his guilt. It was how he made sure never to cross that line, the line Loki blurred gray with his presence… With his words… A rough laugh answered his first response. The irony of it amusing Bruce to no end. “Like your opinions?” he joked in disbelief that Loki said what he did without realizing its…

I like Chevrolet trucks for many reasons but I really enjoy the design of the truck. Which design aspects you may ask? Well, I like the ride height of the truck, it has a nice ground clearance where it looks good but also is still effective. Another is the comfort of the vehicle. When you sit in a Chevy truck it’s like you’re at home in your lazy-boy,…

I waited for what felt like hours, watching the line ahead dwindle as the Barnes and Nobles workers funnelled us into the store, prodding the line up three flights until we reached that lone table, stacked high with bright orange books whose spines and covers read, in black matte letters, THE GLIMMER by RICHARD DUKE.
