Lao-Tzu’s writing is mainly based off the religion Taoism. This type of religion believes that the way of the universe is the natural way of life and that it shouldn’t be interfered with by man. Lao-Tzu believes that one shouldn’t have total control of the government, that everything should run its course as it is supposed to do not as the humans want to make it. He believes that the ruler should be carefree and should not rule forcefully but be kind and silent. That he should stay in the shadows
That is to say, those who act completely according to their virtues soon meet their end. The virtues that rulers display either brings them praise or blame and because of this, it is necessary for leaders to learn how to commit wrongs, as well as to exercise them when necessary in order to hold their rule. As long as leaders focus on virtues that increase reputation and can keep subjects loyal, they will retain the ability to govern. On the other hand, all men are ungrateful, but as long as you succeed, they will give their children, blood, and life given the circumstances. Lao-Tzu believed that humans aspired to be good, but required the ruler to be just and involved minimally in the people's
Lao Tsu once said "If a little kingdom is lowly towards a great kingdom it will take possession of the great kingdom", on the other end Niccolo Machiavelli argues that a leader not act lowly, but be feared by his people and other rulers. Christine Pizan adds in, that a ruler not be feared or lowly but to be mutually respected. However, each ruler cannot obey either teachings without employing hypocrisy, the act of behaving differently from the own perceived beliefs or moral code. To follow Lao Tsu is to humble oneself, with the intention of gaining more, by listening to Machiavelli one must use deceit to appease and maintain efficacy of a government. To adhere to Pizans teachings is to make use of relationships often with the
Past research of varying topics often leaves hole of areas that could be looked into further. The authors of Biting Once, Twice: The Influence of Prior on Subsequent Crime Location Choice, a research article that was published in the 53rd volume of Criminology, believed that the research of the past has completely ignored repeat offending and its connection to crime location choices. In the past the studies have only looked at single crimes per offender, or viewed multiple crimes as being committed by multiple offenders. This review of their research on repeated crime location will start with the coverage of their main research questions, research methods, and their findings. An analysis will then be given of their methods used, my agreement with the

Months after publishing Bauer’s story, Mother Jones reported on the effects that their article had in the private prison community. The more significant of these changes include, an independent DOJ investigation of private prisons, a decision by the DOJ to stop using private prisons, etc. (Andrews). If Mother Jones had not pursued this story, it is fair to say that CCA and Winn Correctional Center would have gone on operating the way they had for years: understaffed and putting profit over humanity. The conditions at Winn were dangerous for the prisoners, as they were abusing and neglecting them.

Mohamad Sarama Professor Burke English 1001 8 March 2016 “Road Warrior” Analysis We see and express hate and rage in our everyday life. In “Road Warrior”, Dave Barry uses many rhetorical strategies such as humorous and sarcastic tones to describe the rage of Americans. The main objective of this essay is to show how useless road rage is and that we all need to “keep our cool”(93). Barry begins to build his credibility with personal experiences and expressing appeals to emotion.
Wag the Dog is a film that mocks society 's conditional rationale and the way that the people are governed by it. The advance of technology has affected the manner in which information is disseminated and has bound the public to a singular ideology. America 's seemingly democratic culture is in essence, regimented by the true ruling power of the country, the media, which enables them to manipulate the people. The exaggeration of events Modern
That is to let go and follow the Tao and do only what is absolutely needed so that the people can learn and make their own rules. Lao-Tzu believes that when a governing body complicates itself with laws and be involved in the livelihood of its people too much, it would have adverse effects. This is because their actions draw the people’s attention to disheartening conditions like crime, war, and poverty. Therefore, Lao-Tzu says the Master should leads with humility by understanding that they are no different from the ones they govern and act from below the people, as to not appear overbearing while being sensitive to the people’s interest. The people follow the Master because they do not feel constricted and feels free to choose their way (Verse

Lieh-Tzu’s tale “The Missing Axe” teaches us about how people tend to judge each other. The man’s suspicions changed in the end after he, “found his axe while digging in the valley” (Taoist Anecdotes) .At first the man saw the boy as a thief since he apparently, “looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief”(Taoist Anecdotes 416). Afterwards the man saw the boy again and thought he, “walked, looked, and spoke like any other child” (Taoist Anecdote 416).
