In The Wave, Mr. Ross, the history teacher, experiments on his senior class and when its turns out to be more than he can handle he lets it keep going; abusing his power. In Fahrenheit 451, Captain of the firemen, Beatty abuses his power by reading books because no one in the government is higher than him or is too afraid to tell about his books.

...portrayal of the racial tensions in Brooklyn, New York (Smith, Turner Classic Movies Film Articles, 2012). The major themes Lee tries to convey through this film are the day-to-day lifestyles of people in Brooklyn, a community struggling without leadership, and the ethnic tensions within the community. Lee effectively relays these themes to the audience through realism by depicting the period, showing the lack of leadership and community togetherness through a host of scenarios, which leads to the destruction of the neighborhood pizza shop that had been a part of community for technically three decades. Lee also mastered the art of demonstrating the lifestyles and attitudes of the community through music specific the era and the ethnic upbringing, by using prompts that give the illusion of how hot the temperatures were, which lends itself to the mounting tension among racial divide.

...Power Most people in today’s society want to be in command; people want to be in control of their surroundings and authority and say in what is going on. People also want to be in charge of everything, and want everything to go their way. Whether it is the desire of leadership over a nation, or just being in charge of a family, everyone wants to be powerful. Power is one of the main themes in the novel “Heart of Darkness.” Characters within the story are willing to do whatever it takes to get their way and to make themselves more powerful. This includes everything from blowing up steamships, beheading African slaves, to plotting to kill coworkers. Within the story, the main characters feel as if they are more powerful than women, and also more powerful than the native African Americans; however, the story proves that the people who assume that they are in power are not always the ones who are actually in power. An example of power being used as a theme throughout the story is the authority of the “civilized” Europeans over the “barbarians”. The Europeans felt empowered over the African natives, enslaving and corrupting their society. Although they claimed to have been trying to civilize the “barbaric” Africans, the Europeans took control and dominated the land. Although Kurtz, a European who lived within the African jungle and was worshiped by natives, empowered the natives, he treated them with more respect than the other Europeans because he had adapted to their culture...

...Leadership Without Easy Answers and The Power of Servant Leadership: A Comparison of Leadership Theories The world is changing. Business now engages billions in international currencies, and the constant movement of supplies and services, and particularly oil, chemical, and dangerous goods is essential. This traffic requires good collaboration between government branches like shipping, defense, agriculture, organizations, and corporations involved, as well as individuals and the community. Furthermore, expectations of a long-term career mean that leadership is a necessary discipline. Leadership as never just an academic discipline: it is a mix of the theory, tools, and applications that will give an individual the best chance of developing a winning reputation for themselves and the organization they work for. In a modern business environment the skill of building great relationships within and without the organization gives a strategic edge. Organizations are not only looking for renewable contracts, lower turnover of staff, and greater return on investment, they are also looking for individuals with vision who can understand what work is, and make it better. Who act with courage, competence, and commitment and yet remain themselves. The Power of Servant Leadership by Robert K. Greenleaf: The slogan “Servant Leadership” was presented by Robert K. Greenleaf in The Servant as Leader, an essay that he first published in 1970. In that essay, he said: "The servant-leader...

...finally forgives the king. There is an excellent use of flashbacks in the film hence making it a narration film as most of the stories narrated, and flashback is used. Most of the fights shown in flashbacks where nameless and the king of Qin are conversing at the palace. Hero is filming that entirely depicts the ancient Chinese culture and uses visual designs in a relevant way. The film uses the fascist aesthetics that represents authoritarianism.

The film also shows the ancient Chinese leadership to have had many wars. It was during this wars that the parents of nameless (jet li) were killed making him come for revenge in the palace.

It is after he had realised that nameless had not for sure killed sky and broken sword, as he had narrated to the king in order to secure his trust. The film shows the power of politics in a kingdom as part of the culture. As depicted in the movie, the people have influence to the ruler. When nameless does not kill the king, the people and the...
