...Humans make decisions based on what they believe or are lead to believe. People trust in these things for certain reason whether it is from a religious standpoint, or a personal experience. Beliefs are what makes up a person's life choices, and in turn are a determining factor in all parts of their lives. The population can be so stubborn in their way of thinking and be so narrow minded that they miss the faulty in their beliefs. Through the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the character Brutus stuck true to his belief in the intelligence of the people and their deservingness of the republic. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the character Brutus dedicates his life preserving the Roman republic. He never strays from his high regard of the people, he repeatedly says things like “I would rather be a dog than that kind on Roman (Anderson 839).” What someone believes in tells many things about them or their life. As said by Emillie Elizabeth, “Actions speak louder than words” meaning that if someone truly believes that killing another is wrong, they would not under any circumstances commit this crime....

The Romans developed traditions and a comfortable lifestyle to fit with their concept of family and community. The ancient Romans had an appreciation for hard work, practical thinking and discipline. Although they were sensible people, they had a desire for comfort and pleasure. The Roman Empire included different people from all different cultures. They formed a society that worked together with very defined motivations. * Transportation: Starting in the eighth century BCE, the ancient Roman road networks that spanned more than 400,000 km of roads, including over 80,500 km of paved roads, were important in maintaining the stability of the empire and its expansion. Despite how crowded and narrow they were, they enabled the Romans to move armies, trade goods and communicate. Moreover, they were intended to carry material from one location to another. Although they had roads, travel within the cities was often done on foot. For other purposes, Roman vehicles can be divided into: coach and cart. Coaches were used to transport parties, whereas carts were used to transport cargo. Growing significantly in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, transport by water...

Not, one or the other society was exceptionally religious however the Gods prepared to what was satisfactory and not worthy in life. Stories of the Gods gave both societies what was worthy when it came to ethical conduct however it didn't furnish Greeks and Romans with the reason for life. Rationalists looked to furnish the reason for life to both societies. The Greek and Romans would have been wise to find request and significance in human life and nature and their journey for those two things brought about workmanship, science and logic. Hesiod started logic with restraint as the key to satisfaction. Hesiod felt control and living right was the motivation behind human life. Later different scholars accompanied and looked to make a moral framework dependent upon good and bad and to give a reason to life here on earth. The purpose of human life in ancient Greece and Rome will be discussed in this paper. The discussion will include reflection from the ancient cultures and how other periods developed from this period. Last will be comparing and contrasting the developments of the ancient cultures while relating the past to modern days.

...| Old Soldiers Never Die | A Historiographical Essay on Douglas MacArthur | | Author Name | MM/DD/YYYY | Course Number | General Douglas MacArthur, one of America’s greatest military commanders, was in a category that few men have ever been. Douglas MacArthur was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1880. Being raised in a military family had a profound effect on MacArthur as a boy and into adulthood. His father, Arthur MacArthur, was a recipient of the Medal of Honor; an award that would later also be bestowed upon Douglas. His grandfather had served on the United States Supreme Court. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated at the top of his class in 1903. This began his long and illustrious career with the United States Army. After rising through the ranks so quickly that he was promoted to Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1930, he later decided to retire in 1937. History, however, was not finished writing the story of Douglas MacArthur. He was later called back to active duty in 1941 and was sent to defend the Philippines against the Japanese forces. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his efforts in that campaign. It was also during this time that he was promoted to the rank of five-star general; a rank that has only been achieved by five other men in the army, with the exceptions of George Washington and John J. Pershing. MacArthur was then placed in command of the U.S. occupation in Japan...

To me ambition is an urge desire to achieve your goals or succeed. Ambition leads you to dedication, motivation and determination. Ambition is a feeling that is driven from within. In other words it is the sum of two factors; force and goal. In this essay, I will define "ambition", the different effects of ambition, and at last, I will talk about my personal experience with ambition. 1.2 Definition of Ambition Ambition is the motive force needed to propel all of us to work towards our set cherished goals. It is the force that drives us to accomplish goals that are within or beyond one’s natural abilities. Nevertheless ambition has the power to corrupt and completely alter one’s sense of reality and morality. Different people have different ambitions in life. The nature of ambition varies from persons to person. It depends upon one's family background, upbringing, social status...

...it is hard to find someone who has both. It is true that a good manager needs to be an effective leader, according to Pettinger (2001), leadership is one of the most important assets of management. However, leadership itself is a skill and not a profession. For example, the ex-Italian president Silvio Berlusconi was the leader of the country and of his political coalition, however, the day to day government managerial role was undertaken by his minister of economy, Giulio Tremonti. On the other hand, Sergio Marchionne, the CEO of Fiat and Chrysler Motor companies, takes both an active leadership and managing role in both companies. By having leadership skills, it is possible to be a good manager and an effective leader at the same time. In this essay I aim to give definitions of both leaders and managers as well as making a clear distinction between the two, followed by how the theory of leadership has changed over time, starting from 'leaders are born' to 'leaders can be made'. A manager can be defined as 'To manage is to forecast and plan, to organize, to command, to coordinate and to control' (Fayol, 1916) and that 'management is a social process…the process consists of… planning, control, coordination and motivation' (Brech, 1957). Buckingham highlights the matter to be a good manager as 'there is one quality which distinguishes great managers from the rest, they find out people strength and capitalize on it'. On the other hand, 'Leadership is the process in which an individual...

...Much information was premised on business owners, managers and employees working collectively, how to improve communication skills, and how to define a goal and motivate others to follow it based on military leadership. The connection between these two worlds of business and military is apparent. Many of today’s companies derive their structure and leadership model from that which is applied in the army. The military typically has a main leader or a decision \ maker, who transmits orders to subordinates at lower levels. This model is almost identical to what is seen in many business organizations throughout the world (Rost, 1993). The US Army defines leadership as “The process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation, while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization” (Army Leadership, 2012). However, this definition does not delve into whether leadership is innate or not. There are two main ideas – Colonel Sherman L. Kiser states that leadership is an exact science capable of being understood and practiced by anyone or General Sir Archibald P. Wavell’s which states “no amount of learning will make a man a leader unless he has the natural qualities of one” (Taylor and Rosenbach, 1984). Leadership has gone through several stages of development throughout history, which could lead to get an idea of whether it is innate or not. People have long been interested in leadership, but it has only been relatively recently that a number...

...said to be a social process influences, by way of controlling, motivating and actual leading of other people to pursue a duty or a task. There are various theories that have come up with the study of leadership. These theories look into different traits carried by leadership such as power, charisma, involvements among others. Different theories speak of different styles of leadership each with their own merits and demerits. Authoritative leadership can also be called autocratic leadership. The leader has absolute power in making decisions. Autocratic leaders are also mostly involved in other undertakings alongside leadership, and they scrutinize on duties to the least detail. Autocratic leadership reflects ancient forms of leadership, for example, among early tribes. The advent of democracy in today’s world gives a negative touch to this theory. Nevertheless, it also has its merits as well, and there are several areas in today’s world that it can be well implemented. This theory works well in situations where absolute control is important, which is a good check for errors. This leadership applies in rigid environments where there is no room for error. It can work well on inexperienced employees but if used on experienced classes of people it can be somewhat very stringent (Brown, 2009). Authoritative leadership can be well applicable in militaries, in manufacturing, in construction and other sectors or industries that are more rigid in nature and require above normal levels of...

...Indeed, before the Romans conquered the region in 57 BC, Belgium was populated by the “Belgae”, one of the various Celtic tribes of Gaul. Romans, conducted by Julius Caesar, exterminated Celtic groups to extend the power of Rome and called their new province “Gallia Belgica” -5-. Belgium has inherited at least part of its civilization from the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire in its days was characterized by the existence of a central authority in Rome, and a system of law applicable to citizens anywhere. This established in its citizens' minds the value complex, which are still recognizing today: centralization fostered large power distance and a stress on laws fostered strong uncertainty avoidance. -7- An example that illustrates well the power distance in Belgium is the Royal Family. Indeed, Flemish people and French people score different in that dimension-22-. French Belgium is of a higher power distance than Dutch Belgium and it is reflecting in the way each of these two communities view the Royal Family. While the Flemish who score lower on this dimension are not attached to the royal family the Walloon are still very attached to them and identify their national culture thank to them. Another example would be the different status that defines the workforce. ‘Employees’ whose jobs are more intellectual task related benefit from more social and work rights than the “workers”...

...Executives getting million$- Workers Getting Crumbs!!”- This is at a time when Bank Directors fees are increased by 85 percent to nearly 1 million dollars in one year alone (Trinidad Guardian, February 25,2011). “While Republic Bank Biggies could look forward to a bigger parting gift than $10 Million and FATTER PENSION(BIGGER BANK/BIGGEST PROFITS=BIGGER GIFT/FATTEST PENSION) , a republic bank worker after 30 years service gets an average MONTHLY PENSION OF $2,400.00 and a pat on the back.” It is headlines like the one stated above that continues to bombard the media in recent times. Executive remuneration is one of the most hotly debated topics in the Human Resource (HR) world. Bergmann and Scapello (2002) argue that during the reign of Julius Caesar, centurions received attractive incentives. However, they stressed that longevity of an idea does not mean a lack of controversy surrounding it. In the aftermath of the financial crash and recession 2007-2009, the debate of the executive compensation again has surfaced to the forefront by the media and became the hot issue for academicians, researchers, regulators, policy makers and public. The purpose of this paper is to clearly discuss the issue of executive compensation by presenting arguments for and against it. While there has been an undisputed escalation in Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) pay and in comparison to the earnings of “average” workers over recent decades, academic researchers have taken positions on both sides of...
