Prince George's County

Machiavelli desperately wanted his job back, so he dedicated his book, The Morals of the Prince, to Lorenzo de’ Medici in hopes of winning his favor. If he wasn’t interested in getting his job back, Machiavelli never would have wrote this book and dedicated it to Medici. After introducing the topic of whether it is better for a prince to be feared to or be loved, he argues that, a prince should make himself feared in such a way that, even if he gets no love, he gets no hate either.”…

So funny to read the posts from the people who don’t get it. I had so much fun with a guy on Match like that once. He had a quiz on his profile to determine if you’d be compatible with him (I just couldn’t stop myself): "If you were stranded on a deserted island, and could only bring three things with you, what would you bring?" My answers were: 1. My two dogs. 2. Money to buy coconuts. 3. Stuff, lots of stuff. His response (this is a typical guy on Match, obviously, not as bright as…

Imagine waking up one day and your life is heading in a path you regret taking. Who do you turn to in need of assistance? As individuals mature, they realize friends and family are both beneficial to approach for help. Friends and family may both get into arguments and lose connection with each other for a short period of time, but arguments are not worth losing people who have been there through everything. Although friends are more likely to argue with one another, friends are there to support…

I thought this assignment was very interesting and I had learned a lot from it. I intern at a company named PromGirl, located in Time Square. For this interview assignment I decided to interview my sponsor from PromGirl. Her name is Chelsea McArdle. She is titled as the marketing assistant at this company.

Thirty minutes of play of Zhang Yimou’s “Hero,” I watched two characters, Flying Snow with Moon, hanging blade to blade as if through mystical powers surrounded with spinning colorful leaves. This incredibly lovely scene, decorated in untainted color, shot like a fantasy poetry, and dramatized like angels’ dance, it is unbelievable to be a fight. It is more similar to a swordplay pleasure (Harrison 570). This is the loveliest scene ever filmed and among the spectacles that the film…

The passage describes the cattle stating that, “For any single individua1 to…

ideas that Lao-tzu believes to be most detrimental to a Master’s successful society.

All the things that Lao-Tzu believes to be nonconducive in a Master’s rule is everything that a prince must be in Machiavelli’s prime…
