To what has become one of the largest African ethnic groups in the western hemisphere, the Yoruba tribe must give acknowledgment to the brave deities that they have come to worship. It is said in the story that has become the upbringing of this culture that the deities whom originally lived in the sky, looked in hope to bring life to the water and marshland below.

The Igbo people of southern Nigeria are a people of deep roots and rich culture. I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a visit to the village of Iheaka in the Enugu State of Nigeria. It was a bustling village covered in copper red sand.

In Ethiopia a lots of students walk a mile to come to school, or they have to find tire own transportation to get to school on time. The problem of not having school bus cause to come in class late.

Alexander the Great once said, “I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion” (Alexander the Great, n.d.). William “Billy” Mitchell would prove to be a lion as he guided the fledgling use of airpower from a novelty to war altering in a very short time. This essay will justify the author’s assertion that Billy Mitchell was a visionary and ethical leader by giving examples from his life that directly correlate to lessons found in the Air Force Senior Non-Commissioned Officer Academy (AFSNCOA) course material. These examples will include facts about how Billy Mitchell used the Full Range Leadership Development (FRLD) transformational leadership trait of Inspired Motivation (Department of the Air Force [DAF], 2014c) to coerce the United States government into becoming the first country to fly around the world in an aircraft. Another example will show how Billy Mitchell embodied the creator role found in the Team Building lesson (DAF, 2014d) to undertake a congressional mandate to sink an old German battleship from the air in order to prove an assertion he had made. In order to highlight what made Billy Mitchell an ethical leader, the essay will explore a time when then 2nd Lt. Billy Mitchell used the critical thinking characteristic of high motivation (DAF, 2014a) and the ethical leadership principle of Prudence First, Justice Second (DAF, 2014b) to carry out a mission.

As England became more industrialized, more and more country dwellers flocked to the cities. The period saw a "gradual displacement of folk practices" because of this. The theory that the masquerade stemmed from ancient English customs is held up by many similarities between masquerades and these customs. For example, indoor masquerades, which took place from October to February, clustered around Christmas and New Year's Day. The outdoor masquerades similarly were concentrated around Mayday and Midsummer's Eve. The costumes worn by masqueraders often resembled those worn by participants in ancient English holidays. Animal and transvestite costumes, which were very common at masquerades, had their roots in ancient English rituals.
