...Adrianna Goodrich Hour 3 The Prince Essay In Machiavelli’s “The Prince” he approaches the question “Is it better to be feared or loved.” Love endures a bond which anyone can break to their advantage giving more reason for a leader to be feared. Any leader should be feared, because compassion destroys order, cruelty comes with a price, and love is limited. Sympathizing order leads to chaos. If you sympathize people and show them compassion they expect more. Caligula was a popular leader at first, because he freed citizens from imprisonment, and got rid of harsh sales tax. As shown he is compassionate towards his people. Once the people have less to do that piles more work for you. Being compassionate is okay, but not with order. Everyone needs rules to live or even a little guidance. Machiavellian is a word meaning craft and deceit to maintain authority and to carry out a ruler's policies. With maintaining order you need the right attitude to do so....

...In 1932 king Abdulaziz Al Saud could successfully unite the parts of his country in the name of (The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) after many combats lasted 32 years. He stated the rules of his country according to the holly book of God and the sunnah of his messenger. He assigned his eldest son Saud as his crown prince. After his death, King Saud becomes the king of Saudi Arabia and he is followed by his younger brother king Faisal, then king Khlid who is followed by king Fahad. King Abdullah is the following king and he is the current king of Saudi Arabia In this essay I will compare and contrast between Saudi Arabia during king Fahad rule and his brother king Abdullah the current king of Saudi Arabia. There are many arguments about who ruled Saudi Arabia better. In my point of view, I believe that Saudi Arabia is better during King Abdullah rule for several reasons. The most apparent reason is that Saudi Arabia is clearly improved and flourished during the period of king Abdullah rule especially in the education field and the urban development as well as the medicine and the health. Education is one of the biggest things that went through different stages in Saudi Arabia. The apparent change regarding education is the increased number of schools in Saudi Arabia. Both king Fahad and king Abdullah were interested in learning and education. Both of them did his best to spread education among Saudi Arabia. Like many other countries and during king Fahad rule, the number of schools...

...Anisa Khatoon 6C1 How does Duffy present her ideas in ‘The Long Queen?’ The Long Queen is one of many poems from ‘feminine gospels’ written by Carol Ann Duffy. It portrays feminism and feminist beliefs giving female empowerment and a sense of female identity. The long queen is the first poem in the collection, which is quite significant because it can be considered as the most important poem due to it being the first one of the collection but also because the title itself. The queen is the most powerful female around and so by having this as the first poem gives credit to the queen as she was one of the most successful monarchs of time. The first line immediately catches the attention of the reader with its first line. “The long queen couldn’t die”. The use of the word “couldn’t” plants the question in the reader’s mind as to why the queen couldn’t die and if she is even portrayed human or not in the poem. It also shows that maybe it isn’t a choice for her and that she has to go on and be a success. This shows her importance as it suggests that the queen couldn’t die because we don’t know where we would be without her. Also that even if she did die physically, she would still be on our minds and her soul will go on because she is an icon for many especially women who went through a lot of struggles during the era. The fact that she made a lot of changes to women’s lives and they will forever be thankful to her that she couldn’t die shows how much they relied on her. Alternatively...

...The act of consolidating power means bringing together the separate parts of the society for one person to control. Henry VII felt that he had to go to extreme measures in order to consolidate his power - firstly due to the political instability following the Battle of Bosworth, but also because he had an illegitimate claim to the throne, compared to Elizabeth of York and other Yorkists who had a much stronger claim. Throughout this essay I will outline the challenges Henry faced while trying to consolidate power, including the factors that he had to overcome such as creating an heir to the throne, how he treated his opponents and supporters and how he dealt with the nobility. Henry won the throne in the Battle of Bosworth after defeating Richard III. As the usurper, his support and acceptance from the public was always going to be dubious; his throne was very insecure. But after being crowned in Westminster and calling a successful parliament who swore an allegiance to their new king, it was clear that the English public were in support of the Lancastrian. Cunningly, Henry dated his reign one day before the battle occurred, thus protecting him from any later potential accusations of treason. He pardoned many of the Yorkists who fought against him at Bosworth, proving his capability of a compassionate and peaceful leadership. However, he did not hesitate in imprisoning and executing some of his opponents either. Parliament also introduced the Act of Attainder, which declared...

Hébert Following a century of neglect, William Stanley Jevons, in the first blush of discovery, proclaimed Cantillon’s Essai, “the cradle of political economy.” Subsequent growth and development of economic thought has not really alerted us to the subtleties of this succinct appraisal. A cradle holds new life; and there can be little doubt that the Essai added new life to the organizing principles of economics. But “political economy” does not accurately describe the subject Cantillon addressed. Indeed, he scrupulously avoided political issues in order to concentrate on the mechanics of eighteenth-century economic life. When confronted by “extraneous” factors, such as politics, Cantillon insisted that such considerations be put aside, “so as not to complicate our subject,” he said, thus invoking a kind of ceteris paribus assumption before...

...English 205 Research Project-Spring 2014 Assignment (adapted from Ways of Reading, AW 1) One way to work on Patricia Nelson Limerick’s essay, “Haunted America”, is to take the challenge and write history—to write the kind of history, that is, that takes into account the problems she defines, the problems of myth, point of view, fixed ideas, simple narrative selective storytelling, misery. You are not a professional historian, you are probably not using this text in a history course, and you don’t have the time to produce a carefully researched history, one that covers all the bases, but you can think of this as an exercise in history writing, a mini-history, a place to start. Consider the following as a place to start: Go to your college library or, perhaps, the local historical society, and find two or three first-person accounts of a single event, ideally accounts from different perspectives. Or, if these are not available, look to the work of historians, but historians taking different positions on a single event. (This does not have to be a history of the American West.) Even if you work with published historians, try to include original documents and accounts in your essay. The more varied the accounts, the better. Then, working with these texts as your primary sources, write a history, one that you can offer as a response to “Haunted America.” Suggestions for writing: Stage the work out into several drafts, writing first from one position or point...

...Chapter 1 At 10:30 a.m., sharp, James Eckert pulled up in front of Stoddard Hall on the Riveroak College campus, where Grottwold Weinar Hansen had his lab. Angie Farrell was not, however, ready and waiting at the curb. Of course. It was a warm, bright September morning. Jim sat in the car and tried to keep his temper un- der control. It would not be Angie's fault. That idiot of a Grottwold undoubtedly had dreamed up some- thing to keep her working overtime in spite of-or perhaps because of-the fact he knew she and Jim were supposed to go home-hunting this morning. It was hard not to lose his temper with someone like Grottwold, who was not only one of the world's non- prizes but who had been very patently trying to take Angie away from Jim and get her for himself. One of the two big doors on the front of the Stoddard Hall opened and a figure came out. But it was not Angie. It was a stocky young man with bushy reddish hair and mustache, carrying an overstaffed briefcase. Seeing Jim in the car, he came down the steps over to the car and leaned on the edge of the opened win- dow on the curb side of the front seat. "Waiting for Angie?" he asked. "That's right, Danny," said Jim. "She was supposed to be out here to meet me, but evidently Grottwold's still hanging on to her." "That's his style." Danny Cerdak was a teaching assistant in the Physics Department. He was the only other Class AA volleyball player on campus. "You're going out to see Cheryl's trailer?" "If Angie ever...

...Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo: Buddhism and the Way of The Lotus Sutra Mary Elise Filipy HUM/130 April 28, 2011 Dr. Gary Carson Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo: Buddhism and the Way of The Lotus Sutra ( Blue Lotus Buddha) Since the beginning of time, people have looked to something beyond themselves for answers about life and the world around them. Early humans believed there must be some power, greater than themselves, controlling the things they could not understand, control or explain. From these beliefs came the development of religions, and the many gods and deities that accompany them. Today, religion provides us with spiritual guidance, directs us in moral matters and how to conduct ourselves, and helps us to prepare for what happens after death. One such religious practice is Buddhism. Buddhism Buddhism. The word conjures up thoughts of chanting monks in orange robes, smoky temples filled with incense, and golden statues in flower filled gardens. To the unfamiliar, Buddhism is a mysterious religion, full of strange practices and rituals. Most people in this country, know only what they have seen in the movies and on television. While there are many differences between Buddhism and religions that are more familiar to westerners, such as Catholicism, Buddhism is a beautiful, complex, and fascinating ancient religion. Buddhism began more than 2,500 years ago in Asia. It is a religion based on the teachings of Siddharta Guatama, as a way to help people...

...Symmetry in Chinese Arts Done by: Group 3 Lim Li Yan Yip Lixia, Sabrina Lee Weitian, Ivan Zhong Shengmin Goh Yoon Keong 1 CONTENTS • Introduction • Symmetry in Chinese Literature • Chinese Paper Cuttings • Symmetry in Chinese buildings • Chinese Music • Conclusion • Bibliography 2 Introduction “The use of the geometric principles of symmetry for the description and understanding of decorated forms represents the union of two normally separate disciplines – mathematics and design.” (Washburn et al., 1988) Symmetry has been used in countless contexts, and with diverse shades of meaning. Coming from the Greek symmetros, for "measured together," this word is most familiar to us as a description of the similarity between the two halves of any form separated by a dividing line or plane. The concept is not limited to science, of course. It has been, for example, a mainstay of aesthetics from the beginning. Thus we speak of the symmetry of the human face, we can all understand what it is and how it looks. Its influence in the arts is pervasive. In music, we hear the symmetry of exposition and recapitulation in the so-called sonata form, where virtually the same music is played and played again. The creation of identities or equivalents is at the heart of the principle of symmetry in music, as in the other arts. It is an emblem of the human predilection for just proportion in all things, and the longing for rational comprehension of anything encountered. In the...
