In the first longer part, chōka, Hitomaro mentions the ruler who has chosen to move the capital from the location “under heavens” (Shirane, 2012) to a “wild place” (Shirane, 2012), and wonders how the ruler could have made such a decision.

Diocletian comprehended that the primary challenge of ruling a region such as the Roman Empire was the massive size. The territory was too big to be controlled by one leader. Hence, he divided the region into four parts and remained the overall ruler. This paper examines the changes that Diocletian pioneered and their effectiveness. The tetrarchy ensured the borders of the Roman Empire were secure and purged of all threats. Diocletian also instituted several changes to solve challenges that emerged in the previous empires. First, he remedied the age-old challenge of succession by ensuring that the tetrarchy provided suitable ...

“A person lacking in humaneness cannot endure straightened circumstances for long, nor can he enjoy favorable circumstances for long” (Watson 32).

Here, Confucius concerns himself with the qualities of a gentleman and things that cannot be considered gentlemanly. In this regard, Confucius outlines various examples of what a gentleman should do as well as what he should not do. Book 4 is considerably brief as compared to the other books and also represents matters of filial piety with regard to the mourning periods when parents have passed on ad the extent to which a child should continue the path of the father following the death of the latter. Book 5 continues with the discussion regarding the characteristics of a gentleman ...

The Mendelsohn elements, in theory, include portal quest, immersive, intrusion and liminal that helps in classifying the antagonists in the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘The Midsummer Night's Dream.' The protagonists and antagonists from both pieces of fantasy literature have various character traits that are similar and different.

This includes Richard II, Henry IV, Part 2 and Henry V. the most basic analysis gathered from watching the series concludes that it is based on the political scenarios of England in Shakespearean era. There are many references made by the author which have been convincingly portrayed in the film series (PBS). As The Hollow Crown begins with Richard II, the film takes the reader back in time when King Richard II tries to solve things for his cousin ...

The code of ethics stands out as a wide concept on how human beings treat each other. In most contexts, it acts as a guideline for determining whether an action is fit or not and narrows down to the overall treatment. It is for this reason that various philosophers and lawmakers find it hard to create a particular code, which can govern or direct people entirely. Unlike robots, human beings act and react differently depending on their interaction with each other. Hence, most of the guidelines provided by people in regards to the code of ethics have conflicting opinions ...

Surely, I thought it would be far easier to take-up the title and influence as King of Scotland; after all it would not be so very difficult to take the throne after a king whose mind was compromised, a tyrant at best who was guided by ambition and the fear of the prophecy that he was determined to never let come to pass. They looked at me with fear at first, but now I see hope, even in the eyes of the most impoverished; those who have lost the most. Already I have made plans to undo the damage ...

John Locke wrote ‘The Letter Concerning Toleration’ among all people. At the time, there were diversities exhibited by people especially in matters regarding religions and faith. The letter called for toleration, bearing that Catholicism was taking root and becoming strong in Europe, especially in England. Due to the fact that there were many religions in the world, and all of them claimed to be the most powerful, and have a majority of followers, Locke saw that the only way to a peaceful coexistence would be through toleration of each other, regardless of which faith a person subscribed. Christianity was ...

First concept that I want to discuss is Garveyism that played exceptional role in the development of Rastafarianism. Garveyism is a philosophy of Marcus Garvey, who is considered to be a visionary and messiah for Jamaican people. Garvey considered that African Americans and other black people – descendants of slaves, who were forcefully moved from Africa, had a right to return to their homeland. Garvey argued that people that do not know their history and past are like trees without roots; and the roots of black Americans were in African continent. He was a charismatic spokesman and leader and managed ...

Cosimo di Giovanni de Medici was given the title Pater Patriae of Italy at his death and was also known as the primus inter pares. He was the founder of the Medici dynasty, who were during the Renaissance the de facto rulers of Florence. Even though Cosimo Medici was a powerful man, he was not an official ruler. Medici’s government also consisted of a council who would many times resist the laws that Medici put forth. This paper will look at the accomplishments of Cosimo di Medici. Cosimo di Medici was born on the 10th of April, 1389 ...

It has always been the desire of independent nations to act as such: making their own decisions in accordance to their national interest and sovereignty. It is true that nationalism in this regard condones any form of external intervention and manipulation, especially if these actions can directly influence a nation’s political wellbeing. Such is the case between Cuba and the United States, whereby the history between these two nations during the past century is tainted with controversies concerning not only economic and military policies, but more so about displacing a duly-sworn leader who is deemed as perilous by ...

At the end of the play Mark Antony proclaims that Caesar was the noblest of them all, I would like to argue that Antony was for he was the one who did not leave Caesar’s side and conspire to kill him. While this is one of Antony’s strengths, however, I will also illustrate how it is one of his weaknesses due to the fact Caesar was developing into more of a king or a dictator instead of an emperor as he obtained more and more power. Thus this paper will examine both the strengths and weaknesses of ...

In William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, the conspirators give several reasons why it is just to assassinate Caesar who is gaining more and more power that he is starting to become a dictator of democratic Rome. Now ordinarily one would be wary of taking part in murdering someone especially when they consider the consequences but the conspirators thought this was the just thing to do for the sake of Rome. While this seems like a very noble reason, however, Shakespeare seems to suggest that the conspirators planned Caesar’s death in order to replace one ruler with another ...

In the ancient times, there were many civilizations around the world, but all of them managed to develop independently. In spite of the fact that the world is so diverse and the West seems to be too far from the East, different parts of the world have a lot in common. However, it is extremely hard to trace the common themes between the West and the East when it comes to religions without concentrating on their differences first. This paper is going to focus on the differences in the role of the prophets between the biggest religions of the ...

What is the miracle of Caedmon’s hymn? Consider the poem itself as well as Bede’s account of its genesis The miracle of Caedmon’s Hymn according to the Venerable Bede is that while Bede had always known Caedmon as a great poet of unmatched skill. He did not always possess such a talent. Bede contended that the gift of song that Caedmon had could have only come from God. The reason for this was so Caedmon could bring the people that come to listen to him away from evil. For much of Caedmon’s life he had ...

Throughout the course of modern history, numerous events have revolved around the Middle East, affecting the cultural perspectives of the people living there. For instance, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent political maneuvering by Western/Arab nations spawned decades of bloodshed in the region, destroying both an entire generation of people and the viability of a nation. The creation of Israel in 1948 created a massive power shift in the region, as the Arab nations attempted to retake the territory but were soundly defeated, and again in 1967. The Second World War engulfed the North African Muslim countries, ...

Question one

If I were to choose the century in which I would live in Europe, with no doubt, the 18th century would be my best bet. The century was marked by significant economic transformations and inventions that made life right for every citizen in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom supported its nationals as was evidenced by the government, which introduced support system schemes for poor people in the community. Moreover, there were government projects that were spearheaded with the aim of ensuring that the semi-skilled people earned some source of living. The introduced system of socialism united the nation. ...

After analyzing the monuments of art, handed down to us from a distant era of the ancient Egyptian civilization, we can definitely identify the two main themes in the art of Egypt in the period around the IV millennium BC to 332 BCE. This is the theme of power and the theme of death. The power of the Pharaoh over the borders of Egypt, the Egyptian state supremacy over the neighboring tribes and kingdoms became firmly established. The question was how to combine it with the death, which is the worst thing that awaits man? It is not possible ...

Despite the hundreds of years and thousands of miles that distance their reigns, Egypt’s Cleopatra and China’s Wu Zetian offer unique insights into leadership and legacy that are worth further investigation. Iconoclasts alone for having ascended the highest seats of political power as women, these two rulers exercised statecraft to serve their people domestically, negotiate affairs abroad, as well as establish cultural memory in their honor. This paper explores the manners in which the two women rulers navigated their own styles of leadership via cultural knowledge and religion to reinforce their legitimacy and thus power, as well ...

Is power generative or destructive? Can a man have both love and power at the same time? Since we are talking about characteristics, it is difficult to sum up an answer.. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.” (Engebretson) This quote coming from one of the wisest human beings will remind us directly of Macbeth. Macbeth did his best to show the ...

Aladdin is a classic Arabian fairy tale that was used as a basis for many movies and cartoons. The main character of the story is a poor young man who achieves the princess and other rewards with the aid of magical powers and own personality. Writers from many countries used similar plots. For example, Danish author Hans Christian Andersen used such characters and situations in his tales The Tinder-box and The Flying Trunk. Stories have many differences, like author, length or plot, but there is always one similarity – focus on main characters. The screen adaptation of the fairy tale ...

Philosophy on Tyranny

Socrates on tyrants and Orators. Socrates had reasons to argue that oratory skills were just flattery and tyrants were largely unintelligent. Perhaps, comparing to the modern day set up, one can say that oratory, as to Socrates understanding, was public relations, or the act of dressing things up to look perfect or better than they actually are. Orators and tyrants did things that suited them best, as opposed to what they wanted to do. That made them powerless people with low regard in the society, despite being able to do anything they felt like, including excommunicating people and giving ...

Herodotus Assessment

In the ancient time period, the recording of history was connected to the activity of narrators and thinkers that did not aim to write historical, but rather literary. At the same time, the history genre belonged to literary prose. The initial works incorporated the features of two different sides of human activity: science and art. Due to this fact, the Greek narrative authors traditionally attracted the attention of readers. A special place in the development of history belongs to Herodotus’s work, which is considered as the first example of both historical and literary prose. In this essay, the ...

INTRODUCTION

History has always been filled with hundreds of great men who have led the greatest and most influential of nations throughout the ancient world. Men, like Julius Caesar, King Tut and Alexander the Great have been celebrated and both, famously and infamously, remembered as historically relevant. However, despite how the history books often present it, there have also been a number of very powerful female rulers that are often overlooked by history but are more than worthy of attention and research. Two such leaders are the Tang Empress Wu Setian and the Egyptian Pharaoh Hatshepsut. These women ruled in ...

Question. What is Thrasymachus's view of justice in Book I of the Republic? Explain the story of Gyges Ring. What is this story meant to establish? Do you think that Thrasymachus's view of justice is correct? Why or why not? Answer. Thrasymachus philosophy on justice was exactly opposite to that of Socrates’ position. Socrates believed that justice was the important good and all the just persons were good persons.

1. Do you take Antigone’s or Creon’s point of view? Defend your decision. I would take Creon’s point of view. First, the play depicts Creon as showing a strong stance on campaigning against corruption and corrupt individuals. It's true that as long as individuals may divert from the ethical path by losing the way to engage in intentional bribery and corruption. Creon says that people have often succumbed to the hope of gain, thereby making him suspect that almost everyone at one point has been involved in bribery to betray their public duty. He is categorical ...

Introduction.

The famous philosophers such as Polemarchus, Thrasymachus and Socrates occasionally met together to discuss such important matters concerning life. The subject concerning the exercise of justice and the consequences of being just or unjust is the subject matter of one such discussion as shown in this paper. The core values that accompany being just or unjust, such as happiness and sadness respectively. The self-justification involved when we do something that is unjust and yet continue in the same line and end up being the tyrants that we know today. How sure are we that we are making the right ...

The Ming dynasty in the 1600s made considerable and deliberate efforts in a bid to ensure that its regions remain under one ruler. A Buddhist monk who was also a peasant found the dynasty, rose to the rank of an army general and led a rebellion against the Mongols. The monk assumed the name of Hong Wu and made the decision to have Nanjing as the capital of China, but a latter emperor of the dynasty moved the capital back to Beijing. One of the major roles that Hong Wu assumed as the emperor include reorganizing every aspect of ...

The Dynastic Cycle in China

As Usher writes, “A dynastic cycle is a periodic alternation of society between despotism and anarchy.” The political theory of a dynastic cycle implies to the idea that each dynasty undergoes four major steps of development: foundation, consolidation, deceleration, and extinction. After its creation, the dynasty reaches its peak giving the country all possible benefits and making it prosperous, and then declines and falls being replaced by the new dynasty. Throughout its history, China was under the reign of lots of dynasties and, hence, experienced lots of repetitive dynastic cycles. All of them had similar structures but different causes ...

Epic poem Aeneid composed by Virgil presents reader with legendary adventures of ancestor of the Romans – Aeneas. It reveals all the hardships and tricks of fortune that Aeneas had to overcome in order to get to Italy. Gods` intricacies along with glorious battles illuminate not only Aeneas`s thorny path to fulfill his duty but also shows characters` diversity and complexity. It should be mentioned that almost all characters in this poem are controversial and cannot be fully considered as positive or negative. Therefore, their actions may be considered to bear dichotomy which complicates their interpretation as well as ...

The two most influential and widely-acknowledged philosophical minds that have reformed the social theories of political strategy, social protection, and nuances of human nature, are Nicollo Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. Both these eminent philosophers worked on the social contract theory to define how the ideal state should function and succeed in its ventures under the rule of a sovereign leader . However, there are differences in the two theories, in terms of the clarity and description of the exact nature of roles and responsibilities of the sovereign ruler (Smith," Introduction to Political Philosophy.Lecture 12 - The Sovereign State: Hobbes, Leviathan"). ...

Introduction

Antigone is a dreadful tragedy written around 441 BC by the Sophocles. It was the last of the Theban plays but chronologically written first. The other pieces of Sophocles have attracted more controversy and nothing has inspired people more than Antigone (Lewis, p. 35). It is an outline of achievements of man, modern in its tone deceptively, has impressed many, and most probably, it is said if it is attached with, choral odes would turn to this poem. It was written at a time of a national intensity or fervor. When the play was performed, Sophocles was known to ...

Question 3.

The period between the years from 500 to 1400 – 1500 is traditionally called the Middle Ages. The term was used for the first time by the scholars in the 15th century to mark the period between the fall of the Western part of the Roman Empire and their time. Nevertheless that the Middle Ages were considered as a time of superstition, ignorance and social oppression now they are appreciated as a time of reforms of political, economic, social and cultural life.

1. “La isla del cielo” is an island characterized by unique political and legal systems. One can say that the political system of the island unifies principles from various political systems. First, the rule of the island can be considered as democratic, involving both election of the temporary ruler through the majority vote and, at the same time, a direct democracy, as people of the island make decisions together on some criminal cases. On the other hand, the political system of the island has characteristics that are at odds with the democratic rule. For example, there are no parties ...

The statute was found in the beginning of the 20th century by the archaeologists who excavated Egyptian burial complexes. It was supposedly created between 2050 and 2000 BC and is now kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This was a very unusual find; it was very well preserved, and thus, a lot of information could be collected from it. There were more than twenty statues of King Mentuhotep II found around the same location. They were apparently made by the person who constructed the burial for King Mentuhotep II. In his article, Cyril Aldred claims that in the ...

International management in an Asian context: Business life and management in China

Introduction Globalization has complicated the management process. As such, for one to be an effective manager, that individual needs to understand the global context of the management process.

Over time the amount of different tribes and parties who have controlled and or tried to control Afghanistan have created an environment where control is almost impossible. The lack of a stable central government for so many years has caused a power vacuum where no one central power can effectively control the country due to long-standing rivalries and tribal relationships creating the fractured state that we see today. Tribal rivalries and feuds are one of the main reasons for the power vacuum and lack of a central government that exists in Afghanistan today. Afghan tribes have been conflicting with ...

Many scholars have debated the role of women in politics over the ages. The reason for this is that the women’s intellect has been compared with her potential to also trick male leaders into failing in love with her. Throughout the ages women have played both roles. Before Christianity, women have been heavily involved in politics and political theory. It was not until the dark ages, that women took a more backseat role to those aspects of politics that they are just beginning to come back from today. In the books of the Aeneid, Virgil absolutely compares women ...
