What Was Your Reason For Assasination Julius Caesar
Emily: What was your reason for assasination Julius Caesar?
Cassius: As I and all of my friends have said before, Caesar was much too ambitious. Him having all that power just didn't sit well with me. I could not stand having him as a sole ruler over Rome. I honestly don't understand what made Caesar so special to the people. Aren't we all accomplished men, favorable and noble to all citizens? What has he done that made him so much better than the rest of us? Nothing, I say. He's no "unconquerable god." If my own hands were able to kill him then surely it is I who is the unconquerable god. I did what is best for all of Rome. Caesar would have been a tyrant had he accepted the crown that the people so foolishly offered him.
Emily: It is to my

An act! Any blind fool could see the desire that lurked in his eyes when he saw the crown. He only refused the crown in order to seem humble to the sheep. He wanted to look good to the people. I'm certain that if they were have offered him the crown once more he our have most definately accepted it. His shallow act may have deceived the general people, but not me. I knew his pride too well to fall for his lies.

What is your affinity to Brutus?
Cassius: Brutus is my brother through marriage. We are practically blood related. He and I trust each other inexplicably.
Emily: I heard of your sister Portia's death, what was your reaction to the news?
Cassius: Isn't it a little insensitive to ask me such a question when the pain is so new and raw? Nonetheless, I was heartbroken. When Brutus told me of her unfortunate and untimely death my soul sagged with sorrow. I would have never imagined that our fights would be the result of her death. I deeply regret causing her to worry so. There is nothing to do now, though, but mourn and pray that Pluto has judged her well.
Emily: What are your thoughts on the upcoming battle?
Cassius: We will win, of course. Our actions were justified because we fight for the benefit of the people and Rome. We are much wiser than that child Mark Antony. As gifted as he is with the manipulation of men's minds, only time will tell his skill of controling the body of men. I am not worried for I have confidence that we will defeat the children, including Octavius.
Emily: If you did win this battle, what do you plan to do with the remaining members of the Triumvirate and other

    On June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its second major ruling on gun rights in three years, ensuring our federally protected right to keep and bear arms in all 50 states. The ruling states that the right to "keep and bear arms" is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. No longer will State or local governments be allowed to ban most Americans from owning most types of handguns. The ruling effectively strikes down Chicago's handgun ban, not unlike the Washington D.C. law that was already ruled to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court two years ago in D.C. v. Heller. Gun Rights Advocates hailed the decision across the Country as a major victory before the "conservative" majority…

    This is because he created the 10th Legion and proved himself to be an adept military leader (Biography.com Editors 14). Also, Caesar reformed the Roman calendar and greatly increased the size of the Roman Senate (Biography.com Editors 14). However, everything Caesar did was only to increase his influence with the people of Rome so that he could become more powerful. For instance, the only reason Caesar expanded the Roman Senate, was so that he could fill it with allies who would later advocate for him. Moreover, Caesar ruled as dictator for only a year before his assassination, the majority of his actions that took place beforehand that are often seen as good were only a campaign that Caesar was a part of in an attempt to gain popularity, one in which he succeeded. Overall, everything Caesar did was for himself, although he was an innovative think as well as an adept military leader, he had a blatant disregard for the prosperity of all of his people, even the ones that he viewed as being…

    Julius Caesar in the play "The tragedy of Julius Caesar" was a in line to be the next ruler of Ancient Rome. Caesar becomes drunk in power as most people would when there are roughly a million people adoring you. The people of Ancient Rome truly liked Caesar, in fact in Act 1 Scene 1, a commoner says "..we are taking holiday for Caesar's arrival.." In this act the reader gets a sense on how much the people like Caesar. However it is also shown to the reader how much noblemen do not like or trust Caesar to be a good leader. Throughout Act 1 and 2 Cassius is trying to convince Brutus, one of Caesar's good friends, to help them murder Caesar so he could take the crown. Brutus and his followers believe they are doing a service to the people. That in some way sacrificing Caesar is for the better good. However this being said Caesar's death was not a sacrifice it was a butchery, there is no need to go out and kill someone.…

    Cassius admits that Caesar is treated like a god and recalls events of Caesar’s physical weakness. Caesar was a powerful man who planned to become the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire in order to solve the many economic, political and military problems the empire was against. While, there were people that feared such a powerful man because this dictator threatened his/her position. Cassius voices his reason for Caesar being unfit to rule, Cassius says, “Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, Dear Brutus is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings” (Shakespeare, I, i, 139-141). Saying that it is not his/her fate to blame, but that is his/her own fault that they have not done anything to make them great. Cassius blames his and Brutus’s lack of will to grant Caesar to power. Cassius and Brutus’s jealously of Caesar makes it unjustifiable to kill him. In her article, Alice Shalvi argues, “Shakespeare implicitly condemns the conspiracy, then, on two scores: firstly, because it inevitably involves moral corruption even in the best and noblest of men and, secondly, because murder is always no matter in what…

In the defensive stage, the company is faced with often unexpected criticism, usually from civil activists and the media but sometimes from direct stakeholders such as customers, employees, and investors. The company's responses are designed and implemented by legal and communications teams and tend to involve either outright rejections of allegations ("It didn't happen") or denials of the links between the company's practices and the alleged negative outcomes ("It wasn't our fault").…
