Shepherd Jr. Columbia Southern University Introduction Leadership is defined by the Military as: The process of influencing others to accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Many of the most influential people in history have served time within their countries military and have gone on to become influential leaders of their country, such as: Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, and Alexander the Great.

...behavior in our workplace, and it has become unfortunate that the government has been asked to intervene and make ethics a top priority for all publicly held businesses. Ethics and good business practices should be upheld within all companies, along all lines of the company's dealings and its employees. This has led to an increase in corporate responsibility to society. Virtually every society makes some determination of morally correct behavior. In Islamic countries, a determination of what is right or moral is tied to religious strictures. Experience often has led societies to develop beliefs about what is of value for the common good. Most of an individual's ethical development occurs before entering an organization. The influence of family, church, community, and school will determine individual values. A company should be held accountable for any action that affects their stakeholders and employees, which can include ethics, legal issues, economic costs and management judgment. Being socially...

...Cleopatra, the final ruler of Egypt, was an immoral temptress that would let nothing and no one stand in her way of power. Although some believe her to be an intelligent role model in history for women’s rights she was absolutely nothing of the sort. Of course, she was intelligently educated, but she mainly seduced world leaders in order to acclaim the power she thirsted. So basically she was a prostitute that was being paid in power for her services. Not exactly the ideal role model. Cleopatra had an interesting early life. First off, she was born in Egypt in 69 BC. One important fact to note is that she was not even of Egyptian descent; in fact, she was of the Greek lineage. Her ancestor, Ptolemy 1 Soter, happened to be one of Alexander...

...shot down by the army near Nicholas' palace. As the animals under Jones lead lives of hunger and want, the lives of millions of Russians worsened during Nicholas' reign. When Russia entered World War I and subsequently lost more men than any country in any previous war, the outraged and desperate people began a series of strikes and mutinies that signaled the end of Tsarist control. When his own generals withdrew their support of him, Nicholas abdicated his throne in the hopes of avoiding an all-out civil war — but the civil war arrived in the form of the Bolshevik Revolution, when Nicholas, like Jones, was removed from his place of rule and then died shortly thereafter. old Major is the animal version of V. I. Lenin (1870-1924), the leader of the Bolshevik Party that seized control in the 1917 Revolution. As old Major outlines the principles of Animalism, a theory holding that all animals are equal and must revolt against their oppressors, Lenin was inspired by Karl Marx's theory of Communism, which urges the "workers of the world" to unite against their economic...

...Reasoning PHI 208 Michelle Loudermilk February 10, 2014 To shoot this person or not to shoot this person? That is an ethical decision that has been going on for years, being an ex-military spouse; I have been around the military for a long time. Seeing what decisions a military person has to make, has a big ethical decision in their life. If it is not the correct decision they can ruin their career, or ruin a family when they make that decision to shoot, not only to shoot but what to do with their junior service men under their charge. Every decision that is made has an ethical part of somebodies life. You can follow the rules or break them and ruin everything around you and the junior service men under you. How they have learned to make these decisions is by a lot of training, and intelligence they get from other people. Is that person going to cause them harm, is that person going to cause somebody else harm? These are factors that a military person has to take into effect before making that ethical decision to take somebodies life in a war. For them to make these ethical decisions, they have had to learn them from somewhere, some of these things are almost natural, but most ethics are learned over a period of your life. You learn your ethics from your parents, teachers, friends, and family, anybody that has a big influence on your life, also TV and video games have an influence to a point on a person’s life of ethics. People don’t realize the things that people learn...

...Fascism. Because of the beliefs of the nationalists they drew much needed support from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy which gave them a large advantage. The war began in 1936 and concluded in 1939 with the victory by the nationalists and their leader Francisco Franco. Following the war Franco got rid of the republic system of government that was in place and instituted a dictatorship that he held until his death in 1975. While the civil war was over, there were still many citizens of Spain that did not support Franco and the dictatorship, but if they were to speak out against the regime there were harsh consequences that sometimes included death. One of the ways many people tried to express their rejection of the regime was through various art forms which included, literature, paintings and films. Since citizens could not overtly talk about the regime they were able to use symbols and metaphors to illustrate their opinion. While this may seem like it was easy, it was actually very challenging because the regime implemented strict censorship controls. The purpose for this was so the dictatorship would always look good as well as everything that it supported, most importantly the Catholic Church, big business, and the military. This censorship is extremely important when looking...

...Should Same-Sex Marriage be Legalized? Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility SOC 120 Should Same-Sex Marriage be Legalized? For many years, the debate of should same-sex marriage be legalized has been a topic unsettled. I believe that same-sex marriage should be legalized because not allowing same-sex marriage is discrimination against minorities, protected by the constitution, and is not a sin according to Bible verses. Those against the idea argue homosexuality is a sin, marriage should be between a man and a woman, and same-sex marriage will weaken the institution of marriage. So which side is correct? And what side are you on? This essay will provide you with the facts about same-sex marriage so that you will be able to answer these questions and form an educated opinion on the topic. When arguing if homosexuality is wrong or right, religious arguments often quote scriptures. The problem with this is that the scriptures being quote have more to the meaning than homosexuality. For example, in Genesis 2:18-25 (NIV), when God created Adam and Eve, one of the biggest sayings is that “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” The first problem with using this saying is that it is true God created male and female, as this is the way you reproduce. The verse is not indicating that God created Adam and Eve as husband and wife. Another argument from this verse is that “God created our body’s to be used in a certain way, and we should not use them in any...

...How personal can ethics get? This document presents a discussion about an ethical dilemma in a fragrance company. Ethical dilemmas, also known as moral dilemmas, have been a problem for ethical theorists as far back as Plato. An ethical dilemma is a situation wherein moral precepts or ethical obligations conflict in such a way that any possible resolution to the dilemma is morally intolerable. In other words, an ethical dilemma is any situation in which guiding moral principles cannot determine which course of action is right or wrong. Business ethics can be both a normative and a descriptive discipline. As a corporate practice and a career specialization, the field is primarily normative. In academia descriptive approaches are also taken. The range and quantity of business ethical issues reflects the degree to which business is perceived to be at odds with non-economic social values. Historically, interest in business ethics accelerated dramatically during the 1980s and 1990s, both within major corporations and within academia. For example, today most major corporate websites lay emphasis on commitment to promoting non-economic social values under a variety of headings such as ethics codes and social responsibility charters. In some cases, corporations have redefined their core values in the light of business ethical considerations. And the discussion on ethics in business is necessary because business can become unethical, and there are plenty of evidences today on unethical...
