Today, largely based on his influence, races mingle at schools, churches and employment. Whereas there used to be a great division of ideas and traditions there is now a sharing of diverse cultures and ideas that can be blended together to create a more cohesive society (Wolfson, 2003).
W.E.B. DUBOIS
Another great leader in American history is W.E.B. Dubois. Dubois felt differently about King when it came to the radical nature the minorities should be willing to take to make their point known but he was as strong a leader as King in his commitment to the cause.
In his The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Dubois called this moment in the life of every African-American "the revelation." Sooner or later, the young black child discovered that he was different from his white fellows, that he was shut out from their world. The effects on the psyche could be devastating. Dubois noted that for many blacks their youth shrunk "into silent hatred of the pale world about them and mocking distrust of everything white; or wasted itself in a bitter cry, 'Why did God make me an outcast and a stranger in mine own house (Wolfson, 2003)?'"
While Dubois advocated radical action his education and intelligence provided a foundation for today's leaders to look to and understand that societies can be pushed beyond their limits and react in ways that defy their education and manner (Wolfson, 2003).
JESUS CHRIST
In referencing the great leaders of the world one cannot ignore the tremendous impact that Jesus Christ had on mankind. Whether one is a Christian or not, one cannot deny that Jesus provided a foundation from which many millions of people have based their lives.
Through the teachings of Jesus Christ many leaders have incorporated religion and spirituality into their decision making process. Today, 2,000 years after his crucifixion many government meetings in Western world begin with a prayer (Hult, 2003). American money has "In God We trust" imprinted on it and witnesses called to testify in court are asked to place their hands on the bible and say that they will tell the truth "So Help Them God."
The influence of Jesus on the world today is so deeply ingrained in society that it is almost invisible but if one looks one will find his...
Choosing two past presidents, two civil rights leaders and Jesus Christ provides an overview of many of the foundational backdrops for society today.
The presidents helped shape the nation as it is known today, while the civil rights leaders worked to right the wrongs that society put forth under the guise of acceptable attitudes. Jesus Christ, whether one is a Christian or not cannot be denied as one of the most influential men of all time. Leaders today base many of their current decisions on what leaders of the past already set up. When it comes to past presidents Washington and Jefferson set the stage for the rest of American history. When it comes to civil rights King and Dubois laid the groundwork to demand what the constitution promises and when it comes to turning the other cheek, Jesus Christ provided the very fabric of the meaning of forgiveness. Combined, these five men produced the blueprint for a peaceful and fair society which makes them five of the greatest leaders of all time. n m

Rather than continue the process that began in the first two books, in which the Rosicrucian Order first announced themselves, gave their history, and then responded to certain criticisms while making their position within Christian theology clearer, the Chymical Wedding can almost be seen as the first instance of literature written within the Rosicrucian tradition, rather than as part of its manifesto-like founding documents, because it does not seek to
Histories of the Pacific The real Pacific is not a static place as the Pacifics of the mind tend to be; and nor are the peoples who have acted upon it and within it the simple ciphers of exploiter and victim, powerless and powerful that some depictions would suggest. Nor can straightforward interpretations of linear progress towards "civilization" suffice, with their emphasis on great events as stepping-stones in the march towards
They have to determine what needs changing, and then figure out how they are going to change it. Only then can they really accomplish something of importance and worth. While Powell is clearly involved in military issues, and protecting and defending his country, he is concerned about other issues as well. Education is one of the issues that he sees as important, and he is also interested in helping those
It's Boeing. Starting from their first aircraft models Boeing B&W and Douglas DT/C-1 and up to the modern airfreight Boeing 747-400, company Boeing and Boeing-related enterprises had been always on the frontier of air cargo industry, and nowadays Boeing airfreights stand for 90% of commercial air cargo companies. Everything started with mail delivery. Today lots of us associate aircrafts with people transportation, but primary Boeing was responsible only for cargo. The
History Naval Warfare What was naval power in the age of sail and how did different sea going states exercise it from the period 1650-1850? "There is a deep landlubber bias in historical and social research," writes Charles King. "History and social life, we seem to think, happen on the ground. What happens on the water…is just the scene-setter for the real action when the actors get where they are going. But
However, it is good to note that despite the numbers of typefaces, designers were seemed to be not contented with it. The new batch of designers did not maximize using the traditional typefaces offered to them by the computer, and they opted to use specialized software programs and created new type forms. Not only were they able to create unique typeface of their own, but they were also able to
