In an effort to mobilize the Arabs, the British encouraged two leaders to take charge. Sharif Hussein and his two sons were seen to the British as important Arab leaders who could provoke change within the empire and who could rally a following. Sharif was a political leader in the City of Mecca and was among those who believed in Pan-Arabism Nationalism and hoped to liberate the Arab community. Letters were sent back and forth between Shaif and the British officials. The agreement was that in return for an Ottoman revolt the British would provide aid and would recognize the independence of all the Arab territories in the region. It was made clear that any concession of land to outside Middle Easter powers was not part of the agreement. After
The design of an organization is a “formal, guided process for integrating the people, information, and technology of an organization” (Glickman et al., 2007). A good organizational design increases the likelihood that an organization will succeed; that its’ values will be realized and its mission will be attained. An organization begins with a strategy or a purpose, is followed by its philosophy or values, then identifies the mission and finally evaluates the environment and its’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the organization (Kelly & Crawford, 2008).

Plato’s Republic uses a series of metaphors to explain the nature of The Good. Though this is the primary concern of this selection of the work, there is also an underlying message about the ultimate fate of the philosopher found especially through Plato’s allegory of the cave. Plato asserts that it is the philosopher’s job, once they, themselves, have ascended to higher knowledge, to spread knowledge to the unenlightened, even though it will ultimately cost them happiness and potentially, their life. The first task of the philosopher is to scale upwards from the allegorical cave of the material world into the realm of intellectual forms. The necessity of this first task is evident in the all-powerful, yet mysterious force that compels the
