...Throughout history there have been individual who have stood out in history and make significant impacts on the way the current world is. These people are what we would call leaders. Whether it is in business, government, or the military, leaders have influenced the course of history and continue to do so today. They have managed to implement change, they have lead people into changed, established something new and important in society. These people stand out from everyone else. Can you teach someone to become a leader? In order for us to understand why a leader cannot be taught to be a leader we first must understand what a leader is. A leader by definition according to Dictionary.com a leader is ‘a person or thing that leads’, ‘a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group’. While this definition is intangible, Police Administration text book asserts the two main traits of being a leader is having power and authority. According to Police Administration power is ‘the ability to compel a performance or make people do certain things’, and authority is ‘a grant made by a formal organization to a position, the incumbents of which use it to fulfill their responsibilities’ (Swanson, 2008, page 295). These two aspects of being a leader rely on the performing responsibilities and ensuring others do the same and having the ability to enforce actions to be done. If we think about it is does not matter if one has power or authority it does not make them a...

...“The more you do for someone, the more that someone takes you for granted.” At the beginning of Kafka's "Metamorphosis", Gregor reveals to the audience that he has "...an exhausting profession! One the road, day in, day out" (1205). We later discover that the motivation behind his work commitment is to pay back debts owed by his parents. When Gregor's mother states " It almost worries me that he never goes out on his evenings off...his only hobby is a little occasional woodwork" (1208), we realize that Gregor has sacrificed any friendships and that he is not gaining any personal reward or motivation for his efforts. In return for his work, Gregor's parents however, were unemployed. To Gregor's father, "Breakfast was the most important meal of the day, which he liked to draw out for hours over the perusal of several newspapers" (1211). Meanwhile, Gregor had to get up and be on the early train for work on a normal basis. It appears that his father has no appreciation for all of the work and effort Gregor completes for the family. Gregor's sister, Grete, had become accustomed to "wearing pretty frocks, sleeping in late...taking part in a few modest celebrations, and above all, playing the violin (1219). These were all due to the amount of work and money Gregor contributed to his family. "They had just become used to it, both the family and Gregor; they gratefully took receipt of all his money, which he willingly handed over, but there was no longer any particular warmth about...

...Fences explores how racial tensions in society had an effect on an average African family in Pittsburgh. Troys’ past failure in his baseball career becomes the foundation behind his perception that his race was the reason for his failure. Due to this event he takes it out mostly on his son, Cory, cutting his hopes and dreams down primarily because he feels that his son will receive the same fate he did when he was his age. Fences also has a symbolic meaning behind it that can be linked to the two primary characters, Troy and Rose. Rose believes her family is slowly breaking apart so she feels if Troy and Cory work on building the fence then it will mend their relationship enough to hold on to. In scene II it opens with Rose singing, “Jesus, be a fence all around me every day” (Wilson 1117) which symbolizes that she her fence is made for protection. Her fence is made to keep her family safe and near her. Bono makes a comment to Troy when he questions why Rose would want a fence anyways and he basically tells Troy that, “some people build fences to keep people out…and other people build fences to keep people in (Wilson 1141).” Troy and Cory didn’t understand at first because they were too busy defying one another. All Rose did was love them and wanted the best for Cory and for Troy to drop his haunting past and be proud of his boy. But Troy had other intentions with the fence; he was the type that used the fence to keep what he didn’t want out. When Troy and Cory got into the...

...I believe Rose is very strong character in the book Fences because, Troy is a terrible husband to her, she works non-stop for her family. Even though things don’t really come easy for her she still always does what needs to be done because she knows it’s what she has to do and is expected of as a women in that era. Troy is not a good husband to Rose. He doesn't do anything at all to even try to be a part of his family. He expects things and demands them of her. “You supposed to come when I call you, woman. ” then Rose says “Man, hush your mouth. I ain’t no dog . . . ” (Fences, 43) He doesn't treat her with respect, calling her like a dog. She gets totally betrayed by Troy because he is sleeping with someone else and doesn't tell her unil...

...August Wilson’s Ten-Play Cycle August Wilson’s ten-play cycle is a series of plays created that follow the lives and experiences of African American’s throughout the twentieth century. As the plays were created, the collection as a whole then became the Pittsburgh Cycle. All but one of these plays took place in the City Hill’s district, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where the writer, August Wilson grew up himself. These plays were some of the finest of all time within the category of contemporary drama. As he tells the stories of how African American lives was perceived in these plays, there is a significance to be identified through each playwright. He sheds a great deal of insight on history, struggles, triumphs, relationships, and conflict between man and himself. In the series of these plays there is a valuable significance but there are a few plays in particular that depict clear images of what Wilson wanted to portray to his audiences. In an interview with Bill Myers, Wilson discusses his past and how he became a writer and developed even in his childhood ages. He credits his mother for bringing his inner poet out of him. She was very adamant in making sure he knew how to read. This trait instilled in him was carried out through his fantastic work as a writer. Although he did not finish high school, his success was much greater than those four walls. He went on years later to receive a Pulitzer prize award in 1987. During this time people in Wilson’s community started to...

...The setting of a story often helps a reader to feel as if he were actually a part of the story. Franz Kafka and Herman Melville are two authors who chose specific settings for their stories. The settings they chose help to place their characters into perspective and to understand the problems they face. Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis and Herman Melville’s Billy Budd take place at different points in time and in different settings; Metamorphosis in an apartment in the early 1900’s, and Billy Budd on a ship in the late 18th Century. These settings help to identify the mood of each story. Metamorphosis takes place in the early 1900’s in the apartment of Gregor Samsa. Kafka does not provide a geographical setting for Metamorphosis, however, the significance of the story taking place on land is the ability of the characters to escape at their own will. Metamorphosis begins with Gregor unable to get out of his bed for work, later succumbing to the fact that he has morphed into an insect. Gregor’s extreme tardiness for work causes upheaval and chaos in the Samsa home; The father is screaming, Gregor’s boss comes to the house to find his employee, Gregor’s mother and sister are crying because they are scared, and there are guests in the home. The setting of the entire Samsa family being confined into a small apartment makes the the turmoil that arises a much larger issue than it really is. At a certain point, the Samsa family, led by their father, decides to isolate Gregor into...

...STRATEGY Ryanair’s objective is to firmly establish itself as Europe’s leading low-fares scheduled passenger airline through continued improvements and expanded offerings of its low-fares service. Ryanair aims to offer low fares that generate increased passenger traffic while maintaining a continuous focus on cost-containment and operating efficiencies. The key elements of Ryanair’s strategy are: Low Fares. Ryanair’s low fares are designed to stimulate demand, particularly from fare-conscious leisure and business travelers who might otherwise have used alternative forms of transportation or would not have traveled at all. Ryanair sells seats on a one-way basis, thus eliminating minimum stay requirements from all travel on Ryanair scheduled services, regardless of fare. Ryanair sets fares on the basis of the demand for particular flights and by reference to the period remaining to the date of departure of the flight, with higher fares charged on flights with higher levels of demand for bookings made nearer to the date of departure. Ryanair’s Dublin to London (Stansted) route is its largest route in terms of passenger volume, with fares ranging from 0.99 to 199.99 (excluding government taxes and passenger service charges). Ryanair’s competitors generally do not operate a one-way pricing policy, so direct comparison is not possible, but current round-trip fares on Aer Lingus, Ryanair’s largest competitor on the LondonDublin route, for travel in September 2004 were 82.27 for economy...

...L. Choi Christmas in August: the Conventional Unconventional Following the Korean War, South Korean film industry faced its “Golden Age”, thriving with a series of vibrant, high-quality domestic film productions. While directors during this period produced a body of work as “historically, aesthetically, and politically significant as that of other well-known national film movements such as Italian Neorealism, French New Wave, and New German Cinema” (McHugh and Abelmann 2), the dictatorship of Park Chung Hee in the late 1960s put an end to creative freedom. The South Korean cinema resurfaced in the 1990s, taking a new step and presenting films that mix a variety of genres and different sensibilities. After the 1997 International Monetary Fund economic crisis, South Korea experienced an unusually rapid growth in the film industry and faced its first “stirrings of what was to develop into a creative and commercial boom” (Paquet 37). In early 1998, in the midst of the industrial transformation, director Hur Jin-Ho released a “muted, tragic-themed melodrama” (Paquet 37) - Christmas in August. The film ranked as one of the highest grossing at the domestic box office in 1998, benefiting greatly from its casting of the two lead roles - actor Han Seok-Kyu and actress Shim Eun-Ha. The two leads carry out a natural performance throughout the film and display a remarkable chemistry with their delightfully low-key and perfect depiction of each of the protagonists. Unlike the traditional...

...A Tragedy or a Blessing? Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his wife worked and saved, making plans for their nine children and themselves to travel to the United States. It had taken years, but they had finally saved enough money and had gotten passports and reservations for the whole family on a new liner to the United States. The entire family was filled with anticipation and excitement about their new life. However, seven days before their departure, the youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor sewed up the boy but hung a yellow sheet on the Clarks' front door. Because of the possibility of rabies, they were being quarantined for fourteen days. The family's dreams were dashed. They would not be able to make the trip to America as they had planned. The father, filled with disappointment and anger, stomped to the dock to watch the ship leave - without the Clark family. The father shed tears of disappointment and cursed both his son and God for their misfortune. Five days later, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland - the mighty Tittanic had sunk. The unsinkable ship had sunk, taking hundreds of lives with it. The Clark family was to have been on that ship, but because the son had been bitten by a dog, they were left behind in Scotland. When Mr. Clark heard the news, he hugged his son and thanked him for saving the family. He thanked God for saving their lives and turning what he had felt was a tragedy into a...
