What I appreciated most about Master and Commander was in fact the nontraditional approach to the war movie. Instead of focusing on battle scenes and commanders' egos, Weir and his fellow filmmakers focus on those commanders' motives and to the prevailing social norms and political values. Those norms and values gave impetus to explore the world and learn about the diversity of culture and species the planet houses.
As outmoded models of government were falling by the wayside, generals like Napoleon were able to fill leadership vacuums easily. Trust in governance and leadership had yet to evolve. Aubrey's death embodies the social and political struggles taking place during the early nineteenth century. The sea bird that dies is a powerful symbol for Aubrey, a literary device that makes the movie more than a simple sensationalist Hollywood production. Master and Commander forces students to think harder about their...
The film brings historical fact to life, imbuing what would otherwise be dry facts with the human spirit.
Aubrey's commitment to his scientific expedition was historically unusual: given the preoccupation with plundering the world. Yet to consider the Napoleonic era in light of its global context and especially of the American Revolution makes the movie even more meaningful. The American experiment, which as our text points out was supported and funded by the French, had been a relative success. The French Revolution was not as smooth but it illustrated the quest for freedom that had already begun to infect the human spirit. Similarly, the liberation of European colonies and the downfall of the colonial mindset had yet to come to pass. Master and Commander was set in a time in which European ideology was presented as a pinnacle of civilization -- even though the European model was imperfect.
Masters in information technology may sound like one field that is not directly connected with Business administration but my decision to pursue this degree comes from the knowledge that these two fields are indeed intricately connected. We cannot ignore the fact that information technology is the most rapidly expanding field and one whose importance cannot be overlooked. Any business that hopes to survive today must understand the role of IT
The TEEMS program would allow me to merge the higher-level knowledge I acquired as part of my discipline-specific undergraduate degree with the type of education-related knowledge I would gain through the Masters in Teaching, Social Studies Education program at Georgia State University.

For the modern military, command is more an art than a science, but certainly has characteristics of both. The "art of command" requires performance of highly tuned leadership skills combined with intuition and a sense of direction that, most often, cannot be gained through only study or education. Command also requires a conscious exercise of authority so that responsibilities of decision making and leadership can be controlled through delegation
