Marcellus W. Osceola Controversy

“I am, was, and always be a catalyst for change” (Chisholm, 1970). Shirley Chisholm was a Visionary Leader and Ethical Leader by challenging the country to live up to ideals of equality and opportunity, while navigating the rough political landscape, contending with racial and gender discrimination. In this essay, I will review how Shirley Chisholm used her visionary leadership traits by becoming the first African American congresswoman to create diversity and how she used Idealized Influence to garner votes to run for U.S. presidency. Additionally, I will review how Chisholm displayed Ethical Leadership by challenging the seniority system in Congress and how she used her moral values to stand up for what she believed in. Finally, I will review how Shirley Chisholm’s visionary and ethical leadership behavior is personally relevant to me. First, let’s review how Chisholm used her visionary leadership traits.

Lowell Myers is best known for his work on behalf of Donald Lang. Donald Lang was a African American deaf Chicago man who could not speak, and was accused of murdering a prostitute in the 1960s. Lang, who didn’t know sign language or lip reading and had almost no ability to communicate. He was sent to a state school for the mentally retarded after being charged with killing a prostitute in the mid-1960s.For several years, Myers pressed for Lang’s right to a trial.

Supreme court rules federal investigators can wiretap into suspects phones legally, and use those conversations as evidence.

“It was time, I thought, for someone to stand up for what’s right; and it might as well be me.” Ivan Allen Jr. wrote these words in a journal just days after the Atlanta mayoral election of 1961. Allen Jr. made the decision early on in his political career to base his choice-making not on the polls, but on his own moral values. He possessed a certain quiet strength that made him an admirable character in the political scene. His fortitude of character and bravery enabled him to become one of the most impactful mayors in our nation’s history.

Ethics, or also referred to as moral philosophy, helps determine when things are right and when things are wrong. To kill or not to kill? To abuse or not to abuse? To hurt or not to hurt? In the nursing profession, as in all major health professional fields, nurses are bound to a certain Nurse’s Code of Ethics (Kelly, 2010). Obey the code, and a registered nurse can potentially live a long healthy career in the nursing field. Violate the nurse’s code of ethics, and one can seek penalties including but not limited to fines, fees, revocation, license suspension, probation, and even imprisonment. So what exactly happens to a Nurse who disobeys the code of ethics? The case between the State of Florida vs Mr. D.R.O. helps in getting a better understanding of what happens when a registered healthcare professional, in this case a Nurse, challenges the nursing code of ethics. Is the verdict appropriate in the defendant’s case? Were the consequences adequately applicable to the damages the defendant imposed? How can future and active registered nurses avoid situations like this in their career? Although the concept of ethics and the answers to some of these questions can seem common sense to most of us, in some cases, our minds can be clouded or disturbed

The community and his family helped him become a leader while his relatives served as his mentors and role models. The leadership style of his tribe to shut up and watch, not to ask the why questions, and to follow through are a few of the principles he adapts for his leadership.

For this assignment, I interviewed Tony Easter, a member of the Native American Sac Fox tribe in Missouri. There are three federally recognized Sac fox tribes in the US, one located in Oklahoma, a combined one in Kansas and Nebraska, and one in Iowa. Tony belongs to a branch of the Oklahoma tribe, which unofficially broke from the Oklahoma tribe in the 1970’s following a dispute on the admittance of members through marriage or blood relation to the tribe.

In conclusion the oppression of Native Americans is an often overlooked subject. It's important to learn about this and be aware of it because many Native Americans still live on reservations. Their oppression has not yet dissipated completely and not until recently, as recently as 1962, were they allowed to vote in every state. So we must be well informed in order to continue to dissipate Native American oppression and try to correct the mistakes of the

The book Decision in Philadelphia the Constitutional Convention if 1787 by Christopher and James Collier offers a unique look at the scribing of the Constitution and the events that not only surrounded it but led up to its creation. The authors take on the events and their creative writing style make the book and enjoyable and fact filled read on one of the country’s most important events.

Throughout history, societies have produced many outstanding public figures that have established and maintained a powerful influence over an entire nation through their eloquence on a popular topic – social problems. These individual public figures are considered to be moral entrepreneurs who help develop and enforce rules regarding particular social problems usually based upon their moral beliefs. Moral entrepreneurs can be broken into two subsections, being rule makers and rule enforcers. Everyone, or at least most people, have certain moral entrepreneurs who speak to their own personal moral values. A moral entrepreneur whom speaks to my values, and I hold dear to my heart is Miss. Leilani Muir. Leilani was born into a poor family that

In this document the author writes about how the Cherokees wrote to the honorable senate and house of representatives of the United States Of America. In the letter it talks about how the people from the Cherokee Nation felt and questioning why would someone take their place were they always lived and had their own culture. The one who wrote this letter to the senate and house of representatives states that when they step to dry land they first met the red man who was first ignorant and savage, but he still received them kindly and let them rest their weary feet. One of the major argument is that the author writes about how the Cherokees or all Indians were once living a traditional life in their land that their fathers have left for them

To begin, I would like to acknowledge the fateful incidents which led me to the Cobell Scholarship application, as they explain how the life’s work of Mrs. Cobell has already been influential in my academic pursuits, engagement in community, and leadership choices. Notably, I first learned about Cobell v. Salazar through my studies in Sociology courses at community college three years ago. In fact, my professor presented this case as an example of egregious actions by the United States government against American Indians through race-based legislation and bureaucratic failures of epic proportions. Subsequently, I became intrigued with Elouise’s story of perseverance, setbacks, and eventual triumph. With this in mind, I began reflecting

The central issue in this case is the impact that informal groups can have on public administration. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists, over 3000 people lost their lives. There was, and still is, no doubt that this event reached throughout America and touched each one of us. We can all remember where we were and what we were doing the very moment we found out about it. This case expressed the issues that many people had concerning what to do in the aftermath of this disaster, especially New York firefighters. They lost 343 of their colleagues and were determined not to leave any of them behind. It reminded me of the

Collins illustrates a persuasive profile of what it takes to be the leader of not a good but a great organization in the modern day. He also demonstrates the development of successful organizations as a consequence of ethical behavior rather than despite
