order to justify myself as a leader, as well as to talk about my journey to the afterlife, and give direction for my burial. First and foremost I am Danica Williams, daughter of Nefertiti. I believe myself to be destined to become the next great ruler of Egypt due to my great heritage and bloodline. It should be well known by now that my mother did amazing things for this kingdom in her short 30 year life. She was the wife of Akhenaton who is famous for the changes he made during his rule over Egypt
In William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, his own brother deceived the character Prospero and had his dukedom stolen from him. Prospero was the Duke of Milan but got distracted from his priorities; he showed more interests towards books and education, giving his brother Antonio the benefit to work behind his back. Antonio was able to get help from the King of Naples, in exchange for money and respect to get rid of Prospero. Prospero was kicked out of Milan one night with his daughter and landed in an
To start this off I would like to talk about our two topics That I will be comparing and contrasting, Hitler and Gandhi. First things is first is to tell you about who they are so I will start with Gandhi. Gandhi was an important man who was inspired by peace when he was to lead India’s movement of independence for the civil right of Indians. He was a man who inspired millions to follow him on his journey and I believe was an amazing, successful leader. He did grow up with an education as Hitler
Throughout the Divine Comedy, Virgil served an essential role in guiding and teaching the Pilgrim. By having Virgil be the pilgrims guide, Dante (the author) illustrates how important Virgil is in providing a pagan perspective to the poem. In spite of Virgil’s pagan view, this is seemingly altered through the course of the poem. At multiple points in the inferno and purgatorio Virgil shows signs of change, through actions like confession to his sins and reflecting on why he was placed in Hell. Comparatively
Simon Sinek once said “Great leaders do not need to act tough. Their confidence and humility serve to underscore their toughness.” In “The Prince”, Machiavelli states that it is better to be feared than loved. Every leader produces varying amounts of fear within his subjects simply because he holds the power. This fear is very low in the leader that is loved because of the respect and admiration in which he is held by his people. A good leader is able to have respect, loyalty, and an efficient workforce

1. How did the absence of religion within the story affect the traits displayed by the characters in terms of immorality? The Great Gatsby touches themes like infidelity, deception, and a number of what people can consider as immoral acts throughout the story. There have been many notions considering the 1920s as an era of radical extremes, economic disparities, division of social classes, and moral callousness.

Poe and Green: Conflict Development Have you ever used conflict in your own life to make yourself grow as a person, or develop yourself in order to right your wrongs? Edgar Allan Poe and John Green mirror each other in the way they develop their own characters for each story, by revealing their characters through suspense and ever-growing conflict. Shown in “Hop-Frog”, a story about two protagonists being held “captive” by a tyrannical king. The king uses Hop-Frog (one of the protagonists) as a
Mark Twain's incredibly unique writing style consisted of several stylistic elements. One of these elements is social commentary. Social commentary is the act of commenting on problems you find in society, usually in a humorous way. We can see an example of social commentary in "Whitewashing the Fence". In "Whitewashing the Fence", Tom Sawyer is forced to whitewash his Aunt Polly's fence as a punishment, but he soon finds a way around his retribution by tricking the other boys in the neighborhood
Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that involves the study of what is. Idealism and materialism are two different theories of reality that fall under the category of metaphysics. Both theories are quite different in their approach to what can be considered reality. This document observes the differences between idealism and materialism and considers why one might be preferred over the other. The idealism theory was developed by Plato. This theory consists of the belief that reality is made up
What qualities and ideas make a good ruler? Machiavelli was very blunt about his ideas on how people should be ruled in general. The popular consensus of his ideas was very negative during the time he wrote “The Prince”. Machiavelli made it seem like his goals were only focused on maintaining rule of the people. He didn’t care how the populace may feel or if they were happy or not, just if the ruler could keep them in check. Machiavelli’s ides were not wicked, malicious or evil; his ideas are based
pretty good part of Asia. Debating the topic of whether or not he was a greedy ruler, I believe that he was not. Cyrus was not a greedy ruler, he cared for the people and the land in the empire. When Cyrus entered Babylon he didn’t let the people terrorize the land. He kept the people in mind, which is thoughtful of him, not greedy, he ceased the suffering of the people in Babylon, at the same time, being an exceptional ruler. He could have been greedy and disregarded the land and its people, but he
While serving as lord of the gods and men, Zeus functioned as the supreme ruler and judge over law and order. Despite his views on justice and virtue, he frequently asserted his dominance and took part in many sexual affairs. Traditionally, affairs like these would be contra to order, yet Zeus seemed to bypass the rules. The Greeks who worshipped the gods viewed the gods as holy beings that are supreme. I believe that due to Zeus’s function as a god, his supremacy, and his power, Greeks along with
In Greek history many wars took place due to the conquering of other lands for empowerment and wealth. The question arises by the Melians during the Peloponnesian war about how “justice” and “self- interest are distinguished. In the Melian Dialogue, the Athenians seek self-interest of power and strength for their empire, while the Melians seek justice by friendship and neutrality instead of slavery. Due to this questioning, the Athenians are seen being self-fish and unjust due to their greed and
fascinating thing about these stories are their intricate attention to details which can be followed up on and expounded upon in todays time. I have been given the opportunity to write a biography of all of the rulers which are mentioned throughout the book of Acts. Some of the rulers during this time period have a wealth of information, having achieved many great things within their lifetimes. While others are barely mentioned in the history books at all. I hope to share this knowledge with
more on science, building inventions, and overall advancing technology. Absolute rulers are rulers who want complete control over everyone and everything to gain as much power as possible. Revolutions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were due to the abuses of absolute rulers, the ideas of the Enlightenment, and the contradiction between absolute rulers and Enlightenment ideas.

Niccolo Machiavelli 's The Ruler analyzes the way of force and his perspectives of force which are still fairly in presence today. I will talk about and look at what I feel to be the most vital principals of Machiavelli 's hypothesis. Machiavelli stresses control over the general population, domineering force, and power with individuals shared power. While it is conceivable to utilize energy to accomplish more noteworthy commonness in the public arena, there will dependably be individuals who have
When it comes to Pedro II, I believe he was a great ruler. He was a man ahead of his time and his reign was full of controversy. However, his people viewed him as a dictator and a failure as a ruler. They appreciated his rule and eventually forced him into exile, replacing his government with a republic. He grabbed his political power in order to better education for all Brazilians. He viewed teachers as water and the students as the plants. He loved education and was addicted to making it better
According to the article by Suetonius, Vespasian was a great compassionate ruler. Vespasian showed his compassion in two areas, the law and in his treatment of individual classes. Under his rule if any innocent person was to be punished, he would save them. Except for one account where he was given false information on the death of Helvidius in which he sent a messenger to stop the execution. He created a retirement fund for ex-consuls, this is not what it was necessarily called but it is what
