In times of war, the need for leadership within organizations becomes particularly important, because the decisions do not typically affect balance sheets or income statements; instead, they can result in the loss of human life, and even a change in a country’s government, if that country ends up losing a war as a result of poor decisions. The leadership that Lt. General William H. Tunner showed in the Hump and Berlin airlifts, as well as in later transport operations, showed the benefits and disadvantages of his particular leadership style. While his own personal strengths helped him manage operations effectively when he was ...

I had a special attachment to old things. I was so amused going through the attic and searching for memorabilia from my parents’ respective homes. There was an old phonograph, a stack of vinyl records in two sizes, and a particularly intriguing Japanese Samurai sword.

The mounting, in brown leather, had intricate details. There were inscriptions in Japanese and some embossed leather lining which prevented the sword from slipping ...

I never really thought and cared about my soul, but a tiny event that recently happened in my life made me change my views and ...

Paintings serve as the visual records that provide the 21st century with important information regarding the structure of the society, culture, styles, and the ideologies that prevailed in that period.

Though the book does not give accurate information about the real life of Cyrus the great, it helps inform various qualities that ...

Philosophy

Does war has differing effects among the affected? Is social justice guaranteed to those affected as a result of war? I decided to involve my father to find out how the family was affected by the Second World War to get the answers. “We thank God for the peace that we experience now as a family,” my father began. “Your grandfather was a veteran. He really suffered considering the success of the nation against his safety,” he added. “What triggered the war and what made my grandfather get involved in the war?” I asked.

This object is very similar to the keys that one may find in a horror movie, but it is of reverence ...

Essay on Auerbach and Everything is Illuminated

Auerbach’s book Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature discusses the manner in which Homeric story telling is leisurely and digressive. To Auerbach, the Homeric technique illuminates through relating detailed past events and easy discussions. As such, there is no rush to create suspense. This aspect is typified by the long digression in the center of a significant moment from which the essay draws its title. That is moments before the nurse is on the point of recognizing Odysseus. What matters at this point is the outer description rather than the psychological aspect, narrative suspense, or historical development. ...
