own. However, there were moments in history where rulers exerted their dominance without having to ruin the lives of innocent people. When rulers clear themselves from selfish desires they become someone who their people look up to no matter what background, and that is what it means to be a true leader.     Although it is thanks to Emperor Qin of China that people today have artifacts and information about his dynasty, he was one of those rulers whose actions did not help his people prosper.

Second, determine one or more quantitative measures of the characteristic or attribute. Will they be measured using the metric system, imperial system or English? Third, determine the instrument for obtaining this measure. For example, the use of a ruler or tape measure to obtain a measure of height in inches, or a scale of 1-10 to measure emotion or other abstract characteristics. Based on a review of the literature Syafiq has developed a table (Table 1) that should help him to operationalize the

loved & feared. Nevertheless, at the same time it’s tremendously hard to achieve being both loved & feared. Machiavelli believed that if one had to do without one of them that it would be a safer to be feared than to be loved. For example if a ruler was more loved than feared then if you served their men’s interest & were also devoted to them they would promise you their blood, possessions, lives, & children until you needed help because once you needed help you were on our own. If you’re more

While reading The Analects books I-V I’ve had an open mind while reading the books. When I say an open mind I mean I was reading the books hoping and considering to learn. I did not know a lot about Analects before reading the books. I’ve found the topic of these books to be quite interesting. In my opinion, The Analects is an assortment of sayings and ideas credited to the great philosopher Confucius. The Analects were more than likely written between 30-50 year time span.

today. His book The Prince is primarily a handbook for all rulers to follow to be the most successful in their reign. His book is considered political realism which means he speaks about only the truth of politics, so it can be used for the practice of governing. Machiavelli’s book is the handbook for obtaining and maintaining power even for today’s modern politics. Obtaining power is one of the most important ways to either become a ruler or gaining the right to rule. But, in today’s politics the

Throughout class one of the major themes has been what qualities make the best possible ruler. Two of my favorite philosophers, Plato and Machiavelli, although very different both attempt to give an answer of what makes a good ruler. Plato’s Philosopher King and Machiavelli’s Prince share their similarities and differences, but in the end Machiavelli paints a more realistic picture of a ruler which makes his prince more favorable. In order to understand why Machiavelli’s Prince may be more appealing

Florentine Codex Translation The Florentine Codex has four version available to read. The original Nahuatl version, Spanish, English from spanish translation, and the new English from Nahuatl translation. Among these four versions, they both discuss the same story line without much variation.

better their government, so he took control, and told the leaders how they should act. Teaching leaders how to behave was important to Confucius, because he wanted to bring order to society, and he wanted good people who could do that. He wanted the rulers to not be cruel anymore. Confucius said, “The man, who in the view of gain, thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends:- such a man may be

Socrates maps out how ruling aims to benefit the ruled and not the ruler, thus meaning that Thrasymachus’s argument that justice is in the advantage of the ruler is false. Socrates demonstrates this point by explaining how he sees every craft to as having a particular aim. To clarify, he gives the example of a doctor being a person who cares for the sick over a money-maker, and a pilot being a ruler of sailors over just a sailor (Plato 341d). In even further detail, the art of medicine
