Jeremy Bravo once said, “Great leaders don’t set out to be leaders… they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role. It’s always about the goal.” Although a remarkable navigator, Magellan never chose to make a positive impact on his crew’s lives. Leading a crew of young men gave him power to abuse or use, but instead of showing these men a dedicated and concerned leader, Magellan led the boys to a slow, painful death. Magellan was not worth defending in his last battle because he accepted

the world completely changed at the end of the Twentieth Century. The main reasons why the world changed is because of major events and dictators that influenced the world to change. These events included the loss of power of Philippines dictator, Ferdinand Marcos, and dictator Jean-Claude of Haiti (Kenney 1). This was a major coincidence that showed the rest of the world how great the countries looked because of new democratic governments that took to power and showcased joyous crowds and removal of

On august 21, 1983, Benigno “Ninoy” S. Aquino, Jr. was fatally assassinated on Manila International Airport. He was coming home with a mission, a mission to free his fellow countrymen from the oppressive rule of then president, Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino knew that going back after being exiled was a risky move. It takes a real man of passion and courage to put his country before his own life and his name is now immortalized in our history books. He was the start of a reform, the EDSA People Power,

the First Battle of Mohács sought the support of Sultan Suleiman I to be crowned King of Hungary by a rival faction of the nobility and became the Sultan’s vassal. After 1571, with the coronation of István Báthory, this Kingdom became the Principality of Transylvania which was semi-autonomous

could move their merchandise through Asia and get it to Europe. Why do you think prince Henry decided to ally with Portugal an North Africa instead of conquering both? Did he had a special purpose with these? If so plain what it was. • First of all I think he did not have enough people to do it, and second, conquering was not his goal. His goal was getting to discover new parts of the world, which is why his Portuguese men

The purpose of this memo is to present my research on the differences in culture in personal life and in the office in Asia. The goal is to prepare our team so we are ready for the cultural, communication, and business differences. I was quite impressed with the differences in cultures and business. The weather will be hot and humid for the most part. Expect to eat a lot of rice and fish. English is the main language in more formal settings, but the common language is Tagalog.

In 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos (1965-86) declared martial law, citing growing lawlessness and open rebellion by the communist rebels as his justification. Marcos governed from 1973 until mid-1981 in accordance with the transitory provisions of a new constitution that

I had the first idea about Ninoy Aquino when I was in grade school. We always observe a national holiday during his death anniversary which is celebrated every 21st of August. Before, I just knew that he is our national hero and that he is a guy wearing thick glasses, his face can be found printed on a 500 peso bill and that an airport was named after him. But through the years, I started to learn that he was just more than that. I learned that he was a senator and

at Saint Augustine failed when the invasion fleet was destroyed by a hurricane. The Survivors were captured and executed by the Spanish, and Saint Augustine stayed under Spanish control until 1819 when Florida was bought by the United States. Ferdinand Magellan, a former Portuguese officer commanding a Spanish fleet, began the first circumnavigation of the Earth in 1519. Magellan was killed Cebu in the Philippines in 1521. The two remaining ships of his expedition

Martial Law has been described as the darkest years in Philippine history characterized by the looting of billions of pesos and iron rule of dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos and his family. With the media censored and the Armed Forces of the Philippines at the disposal of Marcos and his cronies, state-sponsored disappearances and abuses were the norm during the regime with over 70, 000 accounts of human rights violations in the conservative numbers. While the brutality of Martial Law has been an uncontested
