Augustus Caesar Bad Leader

To answer the question of whether or not Augustus was a good leader, his character and actions must be looked at over the sum of his life. The leadership traits of respect, generosity, fairness, compassion, fearlessness, humility, sensitivity, and innovation appear in The Annals, Lives of the Twelve Caesars, The Deeds of The Divine Augustus and the class textbook. Augustus demonstrated all of these attributes during his 51-year reign as emperor from 63 BCE to 14 CE. However, he was not without fault as he also conducted himself in a less than worthy manner at times. Augustus was not a perfect leader but he matured into a man who was respected and obeyed during life and is still studied almost 2000 years after his death.

Jack is a picky, mean, and bossy leader that doesn’t care about everyone, but only cares for some people and himself. Jack picks out the people he doesn’t like. He doesn’t care about Piggy because he’s probably really

As you read Julius Caesar you get to know the characters better and better. Like you start to understand that Cassius is way wrong with the whole plan to kill Caesar, and that Brutus should not have listened to him, but that we are talking about Brutus let me just say some things about him. Brutus was a fellow friend of Caesar but the problem was is that he started to listen to Cassius a fellow traitor of Caesar but used to be his friend a long time ago, in the story when Cassius and Brutus met on the day when Caesar has come from his conquest from Pompay Cassius told Brutus stories of how Caesar was a little girl and that he got cold for just falling in to the river and how he cried for help and Cassius helped him but he was a shamed of having such a little girl of a leader. To say the truth Brutus was not that bad of a person, he was a very good friend with Caesar, I bet he would have helped Caesar with anything, but the things changed and Cassius persuaded Brutus that Caesar was a

Power is key part of the book “Lord of the Flies”, the topic of power in the book can relate to a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr., “I am not interested in power for power’s sake, but I’m interested in power that is moral, that is right, and that is good.” In the book there are two characters that can somewhat relate to this quote, one character affirms the quote and one refutes it. Ralph is the character that affirms the quote he uses his power to help the community not use his power to command the community. Some actions that Ralph takes that shows are “If we have a signal going they'll come and take us off. And another thing. We ought to have more rules. Where the conch is, that's a meeting. The same up here as down here.” This shows how Ralph tries bring the

In the book, the readers can tell that Jack only cares about savagery and hunting pigs. Jack feels that he can replace Ralph as leader, because Ralph does not take much of responsibility. He falls into the savagery category because when he puts on the mask to kill the pigs, it hides his inner inhibitions. “Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood.”(pg. 69). This quote shows Jack’s evil side when it comes to the death of their first pig, and it is also a political allegory. “The conch doesn’t count on the top of the mountain… so you shut up.”(pg. 42) Jack feels like he is a dictator, so he decides to take control of Piggy. “You should have seen the blood!”(pg. 70). This shows Jack’s loss of innocence, and the savagery inside him and the

The pigs are a recurring topic in Lord of the Flies. Jack however, is deeply connected to them. Jack is a character who enjoys living on the island with no rules, leading his hunters and exploring. He shows up with almost a built-in leadership ability, yet the leadership falls into Ralph's hands. Jack tries to assert himself with the control of his hunters, wants to kill pigs to eat, yet he has this internal conflict where he is unable to kill one, yet he maintains honor by saying he will kill it ‘ next time’. This struggle between Jack and the death of the pigs link into his struggle with leadership. He cannot take control or fool the boys into believing he knows how to lead. The brunt of the smarts are on the shoulders of Piggy.Jack and Piggy have two personalities that aren’t compatible, Jack becomes aggressive and angry when

In the classic book the Lord of the Flies by William Golding Ralph, the protagonist, is portrayed as an idealist who should not have had the role of power. First of all when leaders, like Ralph, don’t give their people a voice it can have consequences that they weren’t expecting. Secondly there were significant obstacles that came with power that Ralph didn’t expect. Finally when reading the book Lord of the Flies, I learned exactly what not to do when put in a leadership role.

As many countries developed over time, changes have occurred that benefited the citizens of each nation. However, there is one important element that is needed to establish laws, peace, and harmony in each country. This element is known as leadership. Leaders around the world have contributed to the success and evolution of all of our nations, proving to be a huge responsibility. Residents are dependent amongst leaders, who are in charge of protecting their citizens at no cost. Without the presence of them, chaos and corruption would establish, which could ruin relationships and trade with other nations. In history, great leaders have been praised and admired. The characteristics of three great leaders, who are Suleiman, Nelson Mandela, and Queen Elizabeth I, have exhibited the qualities of being a great leader. These traits include causing admiration and inspiration, demonstrating intelligent knowledge, and guiding residents and themselves to solve conflicts that may cause death.

In a group, there are always people who prove to have better leadership skills then others. The strongest of these people can often influence the weaker people into following them. However, the strongest person is not necessarily the best leader as it is proven in William Golding's book, The Lord of the Flies. Although Ralph is the weaker person, he is still able to show a better understanding of people than Jack who is stronger. Ralph demonstrates his excellent leadership skills throughout the book by keeping the group in line, treating everyone with respect, and staying focused on getting rescued.

Jack shows pride by talking to his peers as if he is above them. “You’re talking too much. Shut up, Fatty.” This quote was spoken by Jack to Piggy. This quote shows how Jack believed he had more of a right to speak than Piggy. He intended to put down Piggy to get Piggy to submit to him. “Give me a drink.” This quote shows how Jack forced others to serve him, because he believed that being a leader meant be should be treated better. He ruled

Julius Caesar was one of the greatest rulers in the ancient world. Most people don’t believe this because the senate made Caesar seem like a bad person even though he wasn’t. He helped the people of Rome and his allies. When Rome was in ruins he helped rebuilt it to make it better. He even gave the poor new lives overseas. People always focused on his wrong doings instead of his good deeds. The senator’s undying jealousy for Caesar caused him many problems and made him misunderstood. He was the true savior of Rome.

Jack was one whose personality caused the civilization to come tumbling down. When we first discover the boys on the island and get a mere glimpse of their personalities, it is quite apparent that Jack is going to be one who is power-hungry. He already has a group of followers, the choirboys, of whom he has the utmost power over. He has a very controlling personality that cannot be subsided by the obstacles that are shown in the novel. Jack suffers from wanting to be the best. When he is not chosen as the chief and supreme ruler in the very beginning, it is proven that he will find a way to claw up to the top and take the spot that in his opinion is his right. Jack has quite a reckless personality, and will risk all to be standing alone at the top as king or leader. Jack is also guilty of envy, which goes hand in hand with power. He is envious of everything that Ralph has. Ralph is the chief, and has much common sense. Jack senses this and is jealous of the fact that Ralph can command attention and a following that easily. I also believe, when reflecting back, that Jack is in a sense jealous of Piggy, without being aware of it. Piggy is the complete intellect on the island. While Jack is quite smart, he certainly is not as gifted as Piggy. Piggy can interpret any situation and be the lone voice of knowledge of the masses. Jack not only gets jealous

Octavian Augustus is one of the fiercest leaders in the history of the Roman Empire because of his successful military expansion, his Control of Finance, and his political leadership.

For example in chapter 1, page 25 when Ralph says," Better Piggy than Fatty" he said at last, with the directness of a genuine leadership,"and anyway, I'm sorry if you feel like that. Now go back,Piggy, and take names. That's your job. So long"(25). Even though he doesn't show his kindness throughout the book he pretty much treats Piggy fair and not differently. Also, Ralph is "defending" Piggy by saying his name is Piggy instead of fatty when Jack was making fun of him. Jack is mean because in chapter 5, page 91 when Jack says," and you shutup! Who are you anyway? Sitting there telling people what to do. You can't hunt, you can't sing-" " I'm Chief. I was chosen" " why should choosing make any difference? Just giving orders that don't make any sense-"(91). Jack is getting fed up because Ralph is trying to reinforce the rules and Jack can't really do anything so he tells him to shut up. Which pretty much tells us that he is jealous of Ralph's
