The traits that differentiated Chamberlain from others and ultimately enabled him to be successful were his ability to inspire, relate and be one with his unit. He also showed an ability to be flexible and a willingness to abandon a strategy and try something that seemed crazy at the time – almost the antithesis of Lee. His speeches were certainly inspirational and made me think of some of the disruptive CEOs in Silicon Valley like Larry Page and Steve Jobs. Also, his calm demeanor and ability to lead his unit symbolically made me think of Howard Schultz and his insistence on calling his staff ‘partners’ rather than employees.

Thurgood Marshall was a great African American Civil Rights activist who changed a lot of lives in the United States. As a passionate lawyer and prominent Supreme Court justice he fought for Civil Rights and social justice in the courts and believed that racial integration is best for all schools. Very early in his professional life Marshall broke down racial barriers and overcame resistance despite the odds. He then became a role model of the disciplined leader, although he didn’t have the religious qualities or charisma as Martin Luther King. However, in terms of achievements, most of us would agree that he should be ranked next to Martin Luther King Jr. Thurgood was particularly famous for winning the Brown vs. Board of
David Berkowitz was one of the most feared killers in New York City in the 1970's. His crimes caused the death of six people, and the injuries to seven others. His crimes became legendary because of the bizarre content in the letters that he wrote to the police and the media and his reasons for committing the attacks.

According to his article, “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins In The Home”, the author, columnist and blogger Daniel Weintraub, argues parents, not fast-food companies or the government are responsible for their child's health and well being. Weintraub supports this claim by providing data from the Center For Public Health Advocacy on the subject of overweight schoolchildren, State law recommendations outlining nutritional standards, and his own experience with the problem. Weintraub intends to convince or persuade the parents or parent to accept the blame for their overweight child. From my standpoint, however, it is clear the
"Thurgood Marshall was a rebel."(1) His method of activism differed from those of other civil rights leaders of the time. By addressing the courts and using his legal expertise, Marshall was able to have a more direct influence on society and the way government was treating blacks at the time. His use of the of the courts led to rulings that deemed the exclusion of blacks from primary elections, the use of racial profiling in terms of housing, the "separate but equal" mentality concerning working facilities and universities, and especially the segregation of elementary schools unconstitutional. With a resume like that it is no wonder he is still considered one of the most influential of the civil rights
If it is difficulty that shows what men are, there should be no doubt about what kind of man Carl Brashear is.

His spirit and determination resulted not only in his overcoming great odds to become a U.S. Navy diver, but also in his surviving the loss of a leg in an accident on the USS Hoist in 1966 - and more amazingly - in his attaining the rank of Master Diver.

Gary Snyder is okay with living in the city as well, even though he prefers living in a highly rural area (Martin). He started to examine and appreciate the American Indian culture around him.
In one winter morning, Dr. Pohlmann woke up from a particularly restful slumber in the abyss of his satin sheets. As he jovially pulled back his covers, his custom chiffon pajamas shined in the morning light. He continued as he does every morning to reach for the phone to call his local kike to deliver his breakfast, a vast assortment of hors d’oeuvre.
David Schindler is an American/Canadian limnologist who has put great effort into studying inland waters, ensuring that these bodies of water remain safe for the ecosystem. Born in Fargo, North Dakota, he spent much of his childhood in his grandparents’ farm, surrounded by many lakes. For this reason, he gained great interest in fishing and studying freshwaters. He has made significant contributions to the field of limnology by helping identify detergent phosphates as major pollutants of lakes in the 1960s, determining that acid rain was the main cause of large fish deaths in the 1970s and 1980s, and pointing out the potential damage of oil sands to bodies of water.
There are many unique personalities that make up a workplace. One may be a debater, commander, motivator, perfectionist, or simply a follower. While it is important to have these different personalities on your team, you also need a strong leader who drives the rest of the team towards the end goal. As a strong leader you want to acquire qualities like “honesty integrity, empathy, as well as the ability to persuade, direct, and motivate people.” (Phillips,). Some leaders maybe naturally born; others have to acquire these traits through personal experience or through exemplary leadership. The life and presidency of Abraham Lincoln “demonstrated that he possessed all of the great leadership qualities.” (Phillips). Lincoln’s philosophies on
What Philippe Halsman meant by his statement was that photographing a portrait can be difficult because of the fact that it is hard to portray who is in the image. I think that photographers should take the input of the subject and how they want to be viewed into consideration. Photographers should take the subjects thoughts on how they want want to be viewed because it can reflect on what kind of person the subject is. I believe this because it can make the outcome different. Not only that, it can also create a different feel to the photo and really grab the viewers

Caspar David Friedrich was one of the leading figures of the German Romantic movement. He changed the face of landscape paintings with his intense emotional focus on elements of nature. As a Romantic artist, Friedrich demonstrated piety to God through nature, diminished strength of man in the larger scale of life all through great emotion. To Friedrich, nature was not just a backdrop to fill the space behind portraits, for him nature took center stage. All of Friedrich’s work is based on one of the characteristics of the Romantic Movement: the beauty of nature along with the defenseless of the human being. Like this, nature is considered as the only thing authentic, opposite to the materialistic and artificial civilization. Friedrich often used the Rückenfigur technique. It is where a person is
