For this reason, unlike Roosevelt, Churchill does not reflect back what is happening in the world. Berlin claims, “Rather, he creates one of such power and coherence that it becomes a reality and alters the external world by imposing upon it with irresistible force” (559). Churchill is not a leader that is a reflection of the current times and where society seems to be headed. Instead, he meditates and draws within himself and creates his own ideas (that are so powerful that they become reality).
Leaders are everywhere, from your parents, to the presidents of your country. Many would say that leadership is the act of leading a group of people or an organization. Most of the worlds greatest leaders have some form of these three characteristics, commanding, confidence and charisma. These characteristics were followed by these leaders and therefore stayed timeless. Timeless means not affected by time, which says that these characteristics didn 't change from the past till now. Showing confidence, being commanding and having that charisma is what separates the leaders from the great leaders throughout time.

Response to Senator McCarthy’s “Enemies From Within Speech” With anti-communism being the dominant political issue during the Cold War, hysteria and paranoia spread throughout the minds of Americans. The “Enemies From Within Speech” delivered at Wheeling, West Virginia in 1950 by Senator Joseph McCarthy focused on worsening that national fear. Senator McCarthy used ethos, metaphor, and hyperbole to create the notion of disloyalty within the federal government. In order to persuade the American public in a convincing way, Senator McCarthy appeals to their ethics.
Winston Churchill, in his informational speech, “Their Finest Hour” (June 18th, 1940) explained the military situation and rallied his people for what he probably knew was going to be a tremendous struggle against the Axis. Winston Churchill supports his thesis through, rhetorical questioning, pathos, ethos and logos. Churchill’s purpose was to inform and rally the people in order to strengthen their confidence in Britain 's military. Churchill was addressing the people of Britain as he uses a formal tone, in explaining the military situation.

The "Iron curtain" was referring to if Soviet Russia were to take over everything it would be what it would look like, but they had to keep the curtain "iron" and stop Soviet Russia. He delivered this speech on March 5, 1946. Winston Churchill thought that his sickness had won the war.
On March 5th 1946, not even one year after the overwhelming victory of the Alliance over the Nazis in World War II, Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time (1940 – 1945), was invited to deliver a speech at Westminster College, in Fulton, Missouri. It is commonly known as “The iron curtain speech”, but Churchill refers to it as “The Sinews of Peace” at the end of the same. This speech reflected his own personal opinion, and was aimed at the people of the United States of America, his countrymen across the Atlantic ocean and other nations. The nature of it is political, taking into consideration the historical context within it occurred: tensions between the Western Bloc (composed of the United States of America,
This semester at COSTAATT was one of the hardest I ever experience thus far, but I must admit that it was also one of those that encouraged me to really come out of my comfort zone and work harder than ever before. Leadership and Ethics opened my eyes to what leadership really means, I learned that people aren’t necessarily born leaders, that leadership (more importantly, good leadership) can be learned, practiced, and mastered. I also learned that I can be my biggest roadblock to my own success as well as the biggest positive influence. It do not matter the rank, position or status, anyone can lead anyone else. In this course I became more introspective about my current leadership roles and the tweaks I could make to communicate more effectively and be a “better” leader
