Grant and Lee
Bruce Catton thinks the meeting between Grant and Lee that worked out the terms of surrender of Lee's army marked a new chapter in the lives of Americans. This is true because this meeting brought to an end a four-year civil war. Catton adduces that the signing of the papers between Grant and Lee that culminated into the end of civil was a contrast in itself. These were two men with opposing personalities who fate had brought together.
Robert Lee was of the opinion that the lives of Americans should integrate elements of aristocracy after all his background was synonymous with family, culture, and tradition (Catton 668). His was an embodiment of knighthood and English country squire. Lee never subscribed to a belief that all men should have equal rights and equal chances in the world; not in America, a country he regarded as beginning all over again. He believed in pronounced inequality in social structures. He believed in social...
To him, land was supposed to be the chief source of wealth and influence (Summary of Grant and Lee: A study in contrast 1).
Members of the leisure class were supposed to have a strong sense of obligation to the community. These men were never to gain advantage for themselves but to ensure they live up to the obligations entrusted to them without forgetting that they were a privileged lot. The country actually looked up to them for leadership. Because of Lee's aristocratic ideals, the nobles who had vast pieces of land ferociously fought to uphold them (Catton, 668). It was difficult therefore to separate Lee from the Confederacy because he was the Confederacy. Lee was indeed a legend in Virginia. It was difficult to understand why poor and malnourished soldiers could do anything in the name of Lee.
Grant was a sharp contrast to Lee. His was a tough upbringing the father having been a tanner…

pain, Van Gogh had somewhat of a twin. Edvard Munch, the painter of the famous Scream and Vincent Van Gogh, the painter of the widely popular Starry Night, were both deeply affected expressionist painters that saw French impressionism and admired Gauguin's symbolic boldness and abstract qualities. By depicting nightmarish lithographs of depraved sexuality, some of Munch's images harkened back to Gauguin. However, the similarities between Van Gogh and Munch
Motivation in Health Care Desire is inbuilt in man. Our life and its furtherance through breeding are dependent on desire. Achievement of desire is what motivates us. On different levels, one might consider motivators and incentives. Often, the expeditious and efficient completion of a project is associated with a bonus. Motivation theory is a field of study that has established formalism for one important aspect of human behavior -- fulfillment of
EB Tylor and James Frazier Accounts of Religion In comparing and contrasting the accounts of religion offered by E.B. Tyler and J.G. Frazer, it is noteworthy to mention that they were not contemporaries of one another. Frazer's ideas on the history and evolution of religion were preceded by Tyler's. As such, there were certain tenets propagated by the latter that were incorporated into the ideas of the former which help to
Leadership To contrast leadership styles, it might be instructive to take a look at two tech giants whose paths went in very different directions in the mid-2000s. One is Apple, which was wildly successful, and the other was Hewlett Packard, which struggled to keep up with the times. Apple under Steve Jobs was successful in large part because he was involved actively in the company's strategy, and in guiding his team
Plato and McLuhan: Truth and the Medium McLuhan does not directly address the idea of truth or reality but does state that by understanding the structure of various media forms, we can become more aware of how it shapes our thinking and our environment. McLuhan's idea of truth is to reveal the structure of media and thereby not succumb to its effects. He offers different ways in which we can attempt
