Churchill continues on speaking about survival, his tone one set for victory, for the continuation of the British Empire.

Winston Churchill gave his famous Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat speeches in 1940 he wasn’t yet Prime Minister of England but with that speech “The House gave him a 381-to-0 vote of confidence”5 caused him the gain a position that helped shaped the war and his country. Like Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill used the people of England emotions about the current war to help boost his popularity amongst the population “what is our policy? It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us”2 was inspirational words said to inspire the people to back up the war effort so England could hit Germany swift and hard to try to bring peace to Europe.

His motives might have been for the good of his people, but some of his actions taken that would benefit the Europeans meant that other people who were not as favourable to him would have to suffer and bear the consequences of his decisions made his actions as a whole morally wrong. Even though Winston Churchill is viewed as a great man and leader to many because of his successes, his decisions and actions to achieve that goal and get him to that position were not always ethical. Churchill’s leadership might have resulted in a victory, but to quote historian Jörg Friedrich, “this was no heroic victory” and therefore great men are never good

Excellently directed and exceptionally performed by Denzel Washington, “The Great Debaters” shines an authentic light on the social and political trials of African Americans in the Jim Crow South of the 1930s. However, with trial comes triumph as Wiley College gains momentum with its nationally successful debate team. Arguably the most memorable point made by Professor Tolson (Denzel Washington), is his stance on how to crush racism and discrimination. He urges his students that it is necessary for them to build up a strong mind - the opposite of what manipulative slave owners had ensured on their plantations just years before.
