...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...

...Climax in The Piano Lesson The climax in The Piano Lesson comes when Berniece is driven to play the piano that she has not touched in years. This action causes a cascade of changes in the main characters. The protagonist in the play is Berniece. From August Wilson's stage direction, "Thirty five years old, with an eleven year old daughter, she is still in mourning for her husband after three years" (1.1.62-63) In describing the Charles house, the stage direction adds, "although there is evidence of a woman's touch, there is a lack of warmth and vigor" (1.1.4) This last statement could just as well be describing Berniece. Having lived through the tragic loss of her father and more recently the loss of her husband, she does not want to deal in the past. We get a feel for her detached and cold existence when her brother shows up. Boy Willie, primarily the antagonist, is the polar opposite of Berniece. [He] is thirty years old. He has an infectious grin and a boyishness that is apt for his name. He is brash and impulsive, talkative, and somewhat crude in speech and manners. (1.1.16-18) Having driven two days from Mississippi, he shows up at the Doaker house before dawn, waking the house with an abnoxious childlike exuberance. Unaffected by her brother's happiness to see her, Berniece sees no joy in this reunion. The news that Boy Willie delivers—that Sutter, a descendent of the slavers that owned their family, has been pushed down a well by ghosts of the past—is...

...while the miners are still trapped. When communicating we need to have some emotion and sympathy than just the facts of what is going on inside the mine. With all the families wanting to be inform that everything is okay and everyone is doing his or her best to get the situation under control. When speaking to any type of media they are concerned only about the facts. When a company needs to pass information to another organization or a group of people it is very important that the company knows their audience. If the information is regarding a disaster, it is even more important to make sure the company knows their audience. One example of a company needing to know their audience was the Chilean copper mine in South America. On Thursday, August 5, 2010, A collapse of one of the shafts...

...Evan (August Rush) throughout the entire movie, as he was on his journey in search of his parents, inspired so much people through his talent in music. People such as Arthur, Wizard, Hope, and many others whom he encountered during his journey. Not only he is an expert in hearing any kind of sound and music, but he can pick up whatever any kind of instrument so quickly, such as when Evan played Wizard's guitar, which he named "Roxanne" or "Roxy", is not the way it is usually played. Instead, Evan played the guitar like a piano, which surprised Wizard, Arthur, and all the other orphaned children. When he played Wizard's guitar his own way, it produced new kinds of sounds that are considered revolutionary, but in real life, it is considered impossible, unless a real-life prodigy like Evan could do such a thing. Not only that, when Evan saw Hope playing the piano, at first, Evan doesn't know how to play it, but when he saw the musical notebook in front of the piano, with just the sounds he heard from outside plus his fantastic imagination, he was able to produce musical notes, and to Hope's surprise, Evan's scattered works filled with musical notes amazed Hope and convinced the parish pastor that Evan is a genius. I was even more impressed with Evan when I found out that Reverend J, the parish pastor, enrolled Evan to the Julliard School, where most people studying there are college students. While at Julliard, he composed his own rhapsody that, later in the movie, became part...

...In 1987 the Pulitzer Prize for Drama was given to August Wilson for his well written play Fences. The Pulitzer Prize is one of the highest honors in the world for writers, playwrights and composers. Fences, was the sixth play of Wilson’s ten part Pittsburgh Cycle. The series of plays narrate the misfortunes and goals African Americans hope to reach during each decade of the 20th century. August Wilson's series of plays brought him recognition as one of America's most celebrated scriptwriters which earned him the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play Fences was written in 1983 by August Wilson. Fences is perhaps August Wilson's most prominent work, Fences explores the life and relationships of the Maxson family. This touching drama gave Wilson his first Pulitzer Prize. The focus of Wilson's attention in Fences is the protagonist Troy Maxson, a 53-year-old head of household who hardly gets by with supplying for his family. All the action occurs in the front yard of Troy and Rose Maxson’s home. Troy once thought he had a promising career in baseball but because the race barrier had not been broken as yet he never made it to the MLB. He has since become a garbage collector who struggles to fend for his family. Even as he gets near retirement age, Troy is forced to do heavy lifting instead of driving the truck. Before baseball, he had been thrown out by his father and was a homeless, poor man until he was imprisoned for 15 years after murdering someone in the course of a robbery. ...

...Introduction Nearly everywhere around the world you cannot go out in public without someone seeing some texting, using laptop, tablets, listening to I-pods etc… it is a driving factor in globalisation. Since the early 90’s it has increased rapidly. Information communication technologies (ICT’s) have given new opportunities in businesses, governments& personal use. Most industries nowadays these day rely on ICT’s and even governments use them in warfare and surveillances. There has been a revolution in computers and communications over the last few decades. All indications of this has pointed to it continuing at a very fast pace. They present many opportunities but also challenges. These are having large effects on many aspects of society, with policy makers tackling issues which involve economic productivity, intellectual property rights, protection of privacy and the costs of access to information. The policies which are implemented now must be considered carefully as the social and economic impacts of these choices will be long-lasting.(Konsbruck,R) Technology cannot solve social problems, but the use of information technology and communication technologies are vital for the economic and social development of the modern world. They can be considered as the functional equivalent of what electricity was in the industrial age. The 1990’s saw the world become organised around computer networks which is at the heart of information...
