.... will remain well respected. Machiavelli states that a man "must maintain himself in such a high standard that no one will ever think of cheating him or misleading him" (Prince 64). If he must do things that the public will not like, an option that he has is to lie to cover up his questionable actions. If the public does not respect a ruler's actions, then he will have a hard time ruling his people and making him more susceptible to conspiracies against him. Machiavelli would be disappointed in Clinton because he got caught for lying. Since Clinton was caught lying, it gave him a bad public image and he lost much of his integrity. .....

.... problems from this perspective and good boots, like Kemmerich’s, are hard to find. There was a time though when they had different beliefs. Before the war they still believed that education was the most important aspect of life. These youthful thoughts were washed away at the Front, where they came to realize that order is what matters.

He would force the men to do unnecessary work and torture them with pointless assignments. Paul, Tjaden, Kropp, and Westhus were especially picked on by Himmelstoss, but they were secretly defia .....

.... she believes, is the universal human language, a language that children instinctively feel in their hearts. All of Yolen's stories and poems are somehow rooted in her sense of family and self. With a versatility that has led her to be called "America's Hans Christian Andersen," Yolen, the child of two writers, is a gifted and natural storyteller. Perhaps the best explanation for her outstanding accomplishments comes from Jane Yolen herself: "I don't care whether the story is real or fantastical. I tell the story that needs to be told." When asked if she had any relatives who were in concentration camps during WWII and how she bec .....

The warriors stopped fighting against the oppressing white man, because the Indians were nearing extinction. Eventually, for survival, the tribe agreed to sell their land to the whites. The Indians were forced to live on reservations. Indians, in the United States of America today, are in a constant battle with the duality of their lives. This duality is a struggle between their traditional culture and the modern day society t .....
