...and these choices not only affect the person, but those around them as well. We will all encounter many hardships throughout our lives, but the decisions we makes during those hardships will follow us all the days of our lives and reveal our true character. This quotes is definitely relevant to American society today. Aside from the proper education, set requirements, and dedication needed to do so, anyone who possesses these virtues that Dr. King has mentioned would be good enough to lead the nation on to the correct path and guide us through both our political and economic troubles. Dr. King’s words have also been inspiring to citizens and/or politicians who were faced with significant challenges during difficult times. For example, Rudy Giuliani, the mayor of New York City during the time of 9/11, fits King’s description of being strong during times of controversy....

...Question: Choose one character and describe their actions and personality. How do they help to illustrate the key ideas of the novel? The character Rudy Steiner in The Book Thief is constructed to represent particular ideas about the dualities of Nazi-era Germany and the importance of loyalty. Rudy is kind and loyal towards his family and friends throughout the novel. This is specifically true when it comes to Liesel. His friendship with Liesel develops from a playful youthfulness to a strong bind that connects them over time and words. This is shown when Viktor Chemmel begins berating Liesel and he tosses Liesel’s book in the river, Rudy doesn’t hesitate to dive in after it, not because it holds any value to him but because he knows it’s important to Liesel, “A book floated down the Amper River. A boy jumped in, caught up to it, and held it in his right hand. He grinned” Through this action the ideas about the value of loyalty are highlighted. In several ways Rudy is also representative of a typical teenager, and he shows that even in extraordinary circumstances people will continue to have rather ordinary concerns. Although there’s a war going on, his main interest is usually soccer or winning races. His conflicts in the Hitler Youth have nothing to do with ideology; they’re simply about the fact that he and Franz Deutscher have taken a disliking to each other, “Four gold medals…It would show all those bastards who said I was crazy” Through these simple mundane tasks the...

...Analyze a Character Rudy is a boy who used to have polio. Fortunately, he got better. However, his right leg was still weak. This affects him when he wants to play baseball because he can not run. One good trait of Rudy is that he is self-confident. He was confident enough to attempt to join the baseball team, even when he knew he could not run fast. "But you can't run," said Alfredo. "But I'm a good hitter," I said.“ (Figueredo 274). After the fourth World Series game, he hit a ball victoriously, and broke the window of a building used for important research. The Russian soldier, Andrei, questioned him. Rudy was confident that he did not do anything wrong on purpose and explained everything. "I need an explanation, but not from you," the...

...elected the Mayor of London and assumed that office on May 4, 2008. Despite his disheveled appearance and self-deprecating demeanor he convinced that people of London that he should be their leader. He will preside over an annual budget of $21 billion and will need to provide the leadership get London ready for the 2012 Olympic Games. Personal Application Boris Johnson doesn’t seem to project the aspects our text would describe of a leader and yet he somehow managed to get almost 1.2 million people to vote for him. Mr. Johnson is running as a Conservative and based on previous elections there are simply not enough Conservatives in London to get him elected. Mr. Johnson used some of the traits described by Rudy Giuliani on page 9 to get elected. Mr. Johnson certainly shows humility through the humor in his speeches and writings. Mr. Johnson writes of humor: “Humor is a utensil that you can use to sugar the pill and to get important points across.” Mr. Johnson’s leadership style would be considered “relationship-oriented” as described in chapter 3. He engaged the people of London in a discussion of the future of the city and through his speeches and writings established a certain level of trust. When I reflect on the leadership style of management at my current job there is more emphasis on the old paradigm of leadership. There is a strong control ethic which has actually failed...

...that it so rightly caught the views of a downright patriot who has a very balanced view on such a tragic event. One of the most ideological parts of this excerpt was the determination of the American spirit to ignore danger and death to help another in a selfless act of courage. The biggest example of this is when it was right after the incident had occurred and volunteers poured in to help remove debris along with fireman and police, as well as standing in lines for hours to give blood to someone who may quite possible be in need of this substance of life. In an unknown force the volunteers were actually overwhelming in numbers to point of actually hindering the efforts of the rescue workers. It had gotten so overwhelming that the Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, had gone on TV to tell people to stop coming to speed up the original rescue effort. And this is when the American determination came in to play, the people just kept coming and eventually it was known that they weren’t going away and somehow they were going to have to work with each other and change up the plans to include a much higher number of rescuers and volunteers. The second was the author's opinion on the views of the terrorists. This first view, “If they could, fanatics of violence would slaughter all those who do not adhere to their ideological or religious principals. But this they cannot achieve and so they resort to simply arousing fear...” I think that this is the basic cornerstone of one or more individuals who...

Being scared and tired, Rudy stared off into his world trying not to thinking about the gang. Every Tuesday and Thursday he would take the ‘Nightmare path’ as he called it and make his way home. As Rudy walked home he shivered at the thought of the path he would have to walk home. The trail was out of school, walk down ‘Sunshine Avenue,’ take a left and then go into the dark alleyway where he would get beat up by the ‘Sully gang.’ The only good thing that comes out of the horrible experience, is when he would walk by Mrs. Corners yummy smelling yellow...

...that could have been prevented by following the law. No matter if the criminal is a first offender or not the policy will hold them accountable for their actions. America needs to have the zero tolerance policy in motion to help the crime rates decrease. There are too many people getting killed, on drugs, or any other crime that happens in the world today. The main goal is to reduce the crime in order to have a safer area to live in. Everyone has to work together to make it safer for everyone. However, there will be times when everyone can work together but crimes are still happening. In New York there are always crimes happening every day even though the New York Police Department try their best to keep crimes off the street. When Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the current mayor of New York, he always tried his best to get programs to reduce the crimes in the state. According to The New York Mayor’s office the reports from 1993 to 1997 the amount of felony complaints dropped by 44.3%, murders dropped 60.2 %, rapes in New York dropped 12.4%, robbery dropped 48.4%, and burglary dropped 45.7%. Mayor Giuliani believes that New York City has helped in a large portion of crime reduction during these years (GREENE, 1999). There are many programs that help reduce the crimes, for example; neighborhood watch is an exceptional way to help reduce crimes. There is no guarantee that this will always help the crimes, however; it at least helps the neighborhood to watch out...

...The stop and frisk policy was adopted from English law in a number of American courts. In accordance with English common law, without statutory provisions, a police officer has the power to stop, question, and frisk suspects given reasonable circumstances. Based on a standard which holds less than probable cause, this power is granted upon the standard of reasonable suspicion. It is a question of circumstances of each individual case that determines whether reasonable detention and investigation is validated.[7] Legislation pertaining to constitutional requirements of stop and frisk practices were made into an area of concern by the Supreme Court when they encountered the case of Terry v. Ohio. While frisks were arguably illegal, before this point a police officer could only search someone either after arresting them or obtaining a search warrant. In the cases of Terry v. Ohio, Sibron v. New York, and Peters v. New York, the Supreme Court granted limited approval in 1968 to frisks conducted by officers lacking probable cause for an arrest in order to search for weapons if the officer believes the subject to be dangerous. The Court's decision made suspicion of danger to an officer grounds for a "reasonable search".[8] Stop-and-frisk is not necessarily a new invention. In the early 1980s if a police officer had reasonable suspicion of a possible crime, he had the authority to stop someone and ask questions. If, based on the subject’s answers, the suspicion level did not escalate...

Freedom of Expression and the Brooklyn Museum’s “Sensation” Exhibit For over a century public galleries in Western democracies have been forums not only for displaying works by “old Masters” but also for presenting art that is new, as well as ideas that are sometimes radical and controversial. In the United States that tradition has been under wide attack in the past generation. Various political and first line of all religious leaders have criticized exhibits of works of art that they claim paragraphs indented offend against notions of public decency, and have crusaded against providing public funding for the creation or display of such works. The largest such controversy of the past generation was sparked by the display of a painting entitled “The Holy Virgin Mary,” by the British text left justified and ragged right artist Chris Ofili at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999. Though the image appears inoffensive at a distance, the artist has affixed to the painting cutouts of body parts from magazines, and has incorporated...
