insights than purely management-based books on the subject.

manage global tensions. And communitarianism, or collective leadership among the
world's peoples, he says, is the challenge of globalization."
Introduction:

The Allegory Of The Cave: Turn Around
... here we have found a singular truth.
The Allegory, taken as the story of one man, narrates his life from
ignorance to enlightenment. He sits within a cave, facing away from a blazing
fire. He stares at the wall opposite him, watching pretty shadow puppets. He
listens to the exotic, wonderful, and large words whispered in his ears by the
puppeteers. He would naturally turn around, or perhaps even stand, but chains
bind him to the ground, and the puppeteers have servants who hold his head in
place. One day, a situation arises where he finds that the chains are broken,
and he stands. This is against the will of the servants, but they have no
physical power over ...

Lyrical Analysis Of The End
... on the inside, where it could never be put out.
"The End" tells of the impending end of a love affair quite possibly by murder. Its an eleven minute psychosexual epic done entirely in one chord (E). The song is an incredible achievement in music, there's nothing that can even come close to what was done with "The End", in terms of the rhythmic and melodic variation backing a complex story line. It builds to an effect of mood rather than a sequence of events. Morrison's masterpiece was almost pure poetry, which probably remains the single most astounding track the doors ever recorded.
Jim Morrison uses words as much for their emotive effect as their meaning. The s ...

The Scarlet Letter: Who Is The Greatest Sinner?
... all by itself.
The lack of repentance shown by Hester was present through out the novel. The scene in the brook with Arthur Dimmesdale is the perfect example of her lack of repentance. In the Brook, Hester and Dimmesdale, her partner in adultery, made plans to flee to Europe to escape the punishments they had to face. It had seven years that Hester had to wear the scarlet letter. The letter was her punishment, and she was to wear it for life. However, on that day in the brook, “she undid the clasp that fastened the scarlet letter, and, taking it from her bosom, threw it to a distance among the withered leaves (p.198).” In doing this, Hester violated her pu ...
