how I obtained the knowledge of heroism over one semester For the one-pager of how I obtained the knowledge of heroism over one semester, I attained two quotes from talented people that explain how courage and the act of being selfless are valued traits in the interpretation of heroism. I chose a quote and the scene of Polyphemus vs. Odysseus from the Odyssey that shows courage in a valuable way. “Courage-no panic, no one hang back now!… I dragged the stake from the flames… straight into the monster’s eye…However, I was already plotting…” (223-224). Throughout the Odyssey, the main protagonist (Odysseus) tries to return homeward after fighting in a ten-year-old war, but as legends go, the path was not straight. He had to go through many obstacles and was tested not only physically but also mentally. To overcome these challenges, Odysseus inhibits a considerable amount of courage and uses it to challenge monsters and not to give up. To demonstrate this, I placed pictures of the sinister journey back on the border to show how difficult it is to be…

oedipus a tragic hero Essay on Oedipus the King Students may earn up to ten additional points added to their Literature Exam 1 if the essay is organized,developed, and mechanically correct. The philosopher Aristotle(384-322 B.C.E.) in his essay Poetics described the play Oedipus the King as the ideal tragedy. He used the character of Oedipus as the prototype for the “tragic hero.” Based on his reading of the play,Aristotle concurred that the ″tragic hero″ should fulfill the following criteria: 1. He must be a decent person. 2. He must possess a tragic flaw, a hamartia. The tragic flaw is not a vice but a human frailty that ultimately contributes to the character′s downfall. It is what makes him human. 3. His punishment exceeds his crime. The punishment is excessive. 4. He is in a high position, which makes his fall more tragic. 5. He comes to a point of recognition. He realizes some greater truth and grows as a human being. The change in the character is apparent. Essay question: Is Oedipus a tragic hero?Explain. (Follow the instructions closely!) In…

My Men are my Heroes             Leadership skills in the military play one of the most crucial roles. The people on the top are required to make wise and heroic decisions to save their juniors and colleagues from difficult situations. The book “My Men are My Heroes” presents the story of a former military Sergeant, Major Bradley Kasal, who brings to light the living standards of the Marine Corps and the military decorum. The life of Kasal, who later came to be referred to as “the pride of Lowa,” is used to take the reader throughout the standard life of a military officer and the skills needed to make one a recognized leader in the military. The journey to joining the military is motivated by passion, and Kasal is used as the protagonist to show how passion is essential in the pursuance of an individual’s dreams. Nathaniel Helms gives Bradley Kasal’s story in the military right from his early days as a child to the time he retired from the military. Kasal grew up on a farm as most of…

treatment for patients who are dying Providing adequate treatment for patients who are dying allows doctors to be mindful of the ethical problems related to end-of-life care. Efficient advance care preparation will ensure patient end-of-life control even though the patient has lost the decision taking power. Medical futility in the clinical setting can be defined as an intervention that does not permit the intended therapy aim to be achieved (Pino & 2019). Unless this procedure is compatible with the dying patient’s wishes, medical services may be withheld, including artificial foods, and hydration. Doctors who care for terminally ill patients accept suicide-assisted physician orders. The physician will lay the groundwork for the order, and collaborate with the healthcare team to provide the patient with comfort and support. Doctor-assisted suicide could undermine the conventional relationship between patient and physician and put vulnerable communities at risk. The doctor has a moral obligation to ensure proper treatment for patients who can easily die. I find it very difficult to talk about death and to die since it creates a lot of anxiety and fear.…

Fraud Risk Assessment of Tesla Motors Question one a, based on the case study, the representation of Tesla’s leader is summarized as a “real-life Iron Man” as derived from a comics’ superhero movie. The connotation of the phrase sets the tone at the top as aggressive, overly competitive, and high achieving. Mr. Elon Musk heads Tesla and chairs other boards in different companies. He can, therefore, be said to be innovative, high achieving, risk-taking, and visionary. He made a vow committing to propel Tesla and leverage competition with giant tech company apple within ten years. The leader, Elon Musk, sets a “tone in the top” that may augment the occurrences of fraud risks overtime. His nature of leadership, which is goal attaining, connotes high pressure on the employees, which might result to risk factors of pressure or incentives. It is a situation where employees may resort to “do whatever it takes” to accomplish goals. Due to the pressure to attain goals, the CEO may be forced to use underhand means to perform tasks due to his goal-achieving nature. b, I…

Drug Epidemic vs. Pandemic Covid-19 An epidemic is an event in which a disease actively spreads and has grown out of control.  WHO describes Pandemic as a geographic spread of a new disease either within the whole country or the entire world. In case an epidemic crosses other borders, then it becomes a pandemic. More governments always try to prevent the progression of a disease when it becomes a pandemic. Drug abuse is on the rise, and it causes many deaths than coronavirus. Comparing drug epidemic vs. pandemic Covid-19, 130 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose, which continues to impact communities in the U.S. While dealing with the pandemic Covid-19, do not forget drug abuse epidemic that consumes American lives. Many Americans suffer from prescription drug addiction, including celebrities who continue to pill-pop. Fatal overdose is the source of many deaths despite the current panicky talk of Covid-19. The actual figures are far more alarming, but subsequent years may well show further increases b by both the household and the government agencies. How people get into drugs People…
