In his autobiography novel, “Night”, author Elie Wiesel writes about the horrors of his past, and towards the end he saw himself as a corpse when he looked upon the mirror which reflects his current state; he no longer believed in God’s goodness nor His justice. Elie Wiesel was a Jewish boy who had strong faith in God, but over the course of his life when he went through catastrophic events such as losing his mother, father, younger sister, starving, and being in concentration camps he declined God’s justice and blamed him for everything that was happening to him.

Throughout history there have been several people who have rose to power and used that power to rule over people or land. These people usually enforce this power over the people below them, who do not have as much power as him. Some of these people end up abusing their power or struggling to keep it. When discussing this, the common question becomes noticeable; can a person have power and keep power while still adhering to their morals? In certain situations while a person has power, people can temporarily lose their commitment to their morals, but may also be able to keep that commitment.
In the book he looks at the historical aspects of what has happened and uses them to establish his main points. After going through what we were assigned to read, I gathered that the two most important aspects that a prince should have is knowledge and flexibility in the area of morality. Knowledge allows him to be smarter than his populace, knowing when not to be good, and the ability to combat certain cases. Being morally flexible allows him to be able to handle the ends justifying the means. It also should be noted that he believed that power is the only thing that matters and how to hold that power.
In “Nichomachean Ethics”, Aristotle Investigates the activities that are worthy of being pursued, because they inadvertently bring happiness to our lives, which is the ultimate good that we seek. Aristotle narrowed the pursuits of men down to two distinct classes, the Art and the inquiry. These two terms are more relatable if we consider Art to be those activities that naturally propel or push us to do something, as well as a field of study such as medicine. The inquiry, on the other hand, is more of a tool that we use to answer questions that we might have. For instance, science, in general, is an investigative tool that we used to strengthen our beliefs by providing irrefutable evidence.
As portrayed in the Shakespeare’s tetralogy being a king is a sacrificial commitment in which one must be willing to face the obstacles of making only wise decisions, being robbed of at any moment, and losing friendships. Having the ability to make good decisions is imperative to being an effective king. It is expected by his subjects that the king will never make the wrong decision. If the king makes even one unfavorable decisions, he must face the public scrutiny of all of his followers. The king is expected to make
Renaissance means rebirth. The Renaissance was a time of renewal as well as of chaos in Europe since it was still recovering. More and more ideas of the ideal prince emerged, as there are many different city-states. One of the most noteworthy political philosophers of the sixteenth century was Niccólo Machiavelli whose book, The Prince, a political handbook for rulers, has brought him recognition. It can be seen that his ideas on politics and overall inspiration for the book mainly came from his views of the political problems that were taking place.
He cannot be too generous, because that increases people 's expectations of him and it is impossible to keep buying the people 's love as the price gets too high. Yet, the prince should not be hated due to his violent nature, because that rises up. The prince should act in ways that keep him in power and maintain his own power. He should be able to read the character and motives of others in order to use them for his own ends.
