During the Enlightenment, American colonies and established European countries faced the difficulties of shifting economic system, religious system, and a shift in mindset. The monarchs of the European countries used enlightened ideas in order to advance. Colonization was at its peak and the rise of mercantilism and the price revolution broke its breaks. Due to the shifting economic structure, slaves were utilized as an alternative to paid laborers. This however, was not reasonable from the perspective of the enlightened. They viewed it as unreasonable, selfish, and manipulative. The supporters of slavery argued that slaves were a necessity in the shifting economic structure. Supporters also argued that slavery wasn’t as severe as it was…
Another way that actions are more powerful than words is that if you do something it will have a bigger impact than just saying it. Just saying you are going to do something…
The sky is filled with smoke; people are running around in a panic; the sounds of sirens are echoing through the streets of New York City on the 11th of September 2011. The panic was created by the 19 Al-Qaeda members acting as suicide bombers to seek revenge on the United States for placing troops in Saudi Arabia, helping Israel, and for plotting against Iraq. The 19 Al-Qaeda members who died fighting for what they believed in, which, along with Antigone who stood up for her brother against the harsh rule of Creon, and the story of Graeme Taylor fighting on his teacher’s behalf, are examples of how taking action is, in most cases more “important” than thoughts.…
Sophocles designs his plays to instruct his audience members to behave morally correct. People’s actions are ruled by their emotions (jealousy, suspicion, anger, pride, and love) and it leads to negative effects for them. But when acting in a sage demeanor, it gives evidence to a person’s character. Sophocles writes his characters to be ruled by their emotions and to teach people to behave in a prudent demeanor. Sophocles designs his plays to have the people of authority act in an immorally correct fashion.…
In 2004, human rights were violated in the form of physical, psychological and sexual abuse, including torture, rape and homicide of prisoners in Abu Ghraib. These acts were committed by military police of the United States Army. Did this happen because the soldiers considered the Iraqis as inhuman, and was it caused by having a certain language to refer to the enemies? In war, soldiers find it easier to cope after killing if they know that they have killed the opposing side for the right reasons. For example, when in war, soldiers give names to the enemy to make it easier to kill them. These words are not necessarily meant to harm anyone, but it makes it easier to kill them, and protect the ones back home.…
It means that if we lack courage to hold on to our beliefs in the moment of testing, no just when everybody agrees with our opinion but also when they go against opposition, then our beliefs are superficial and weak and add nothing to our self respect for our virtues.…
Thoughts…they are the basis for our creativity and are what separate us from other animals. Without thinking, we are just mindless zombies living for the sole purpose of surviving. We do not act without putting some thought into it.…
As a college student in my early twenties I am presented with many choices. In this every day world that I live in, I exercise option. These choices represent themselves as soon as I rise out of bed. The question is whether I will hit the snooze button or jump out of bed, eat Raisin Bran or K special, Strawberries or Bananas, Coffee or tea. With every choice there is a consequence, good or bad. More or less, I habitually make my decision on whether I will regret my inaction. For example, I rise out of bed it's half past 7 and immediately it dawns on me that I am going to be late to work. I stop for a split second and think "do I have enough time to eat breakfast or can I make it until lunch?" My inaction of not eating breakfast would not only mean I would be a cranky employee but it might also affect my work. Hence, I do not dare to skip breakfast.…
Communication in a social context tends to be of an unplanned nature and varies depending on the circumstances that we find ourselves in, who we are communicating with and our feelings towards them. If communicating via emails and texts we do so in an informal manner for example using abbreviations, expressing opinions and views. If we were to be communicating in writing on a professional level through letters, emails and texts they tend to be planned, a certain format used to do so and are written in a formal manner, without the use of our personal opinions or views. However, the speed in which respond to communications from others both socially and professionally can affect the way others perceive us. Responding quickly provides the other…
Robin Williams once said, “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” Numerous people today would disagree with the statement words hold more power than weapons. However, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and Decius from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar are all examples throughout history that clearly reveal that words can entice the most influential people. I completely agree; words hold more power than weapons. There is an abundant amount of power held in a single word or statement.…
Fourth, people are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and explicitly. So, get commitments in writing (and preferably publicly).…
Verbal communication and nonverbal communication can have both a negative and positive effect on communication within law enforcement officers making public announcement to the press. Law enforcement academies do not teach techniques of communication to officers going through training even with the prominence of communication in everyday functions. Police officers are held at a higher standard than ordinary citizens but are still humans and have the same problems like ordinary citizens. The transfer of an idea from one location to another can be a challenging task for an officer especially if he or she have to speak in a public setting.…
When someone says they will do something than they fail to do so, what does that say about them? There are so many sayings that can sum it all up. One of the most famous being “Actions speak louder than words”. Unknown who first coined this phrase but the phrase” actions are more significant than words” was first published by Gersham Bulkeley in his book “Will and Doom”. From this quote many new adaptations were born. “well done is better than well said”, Ben Franklin. “A promise is a cloud, fulfillment is rain”, Arabian proverb. A famous Chinese proverb says “talk doesn’t cook rice”. Basically from these quotes and many others I have read shows that it is more important to do something than just say you’re going to.…
