Comparisons

1. Now instead of in the middle ages when people were told something they would beleive it because they dont know maybe what god was going to say. Now they have written evidence so now they can beleive it instead of just thinking that they have to take the word of the peorson who told them what god sead. Instead of what god really said himself not what someone elses opinion of what he said was. 
2. I think that the government has the most effect on the others because without government we couldnt deal with all the money going throught the world and there would also be no leader to keep things close to in control. Another thing that means we are getting stronger in government is the amount of people doing ther jobs. Higher numbers means things go smoother sometimes.
3. The age of Enlightment is the era in Western philosophy and intellectual, scientific and cultural life, centered upon the eighteenth century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source and legitimacy for authority. A period of time ranging from part of the 17 century through much of the 18 century, characterized particularly by the importance of logic and reason

King Duncan

King Duncan was a good leader because he respectd his people and would do his best to help them if they were in need. Hes very decisive and kept his word. One of the he was talking to his cousin Malcom and said that he will be forever in his debt but that he would always be willing to help when he is in need. One of his quotes was "You can never tell a mans face whats going on in his mind. I trusted him completly. And then another place was when he was going to get killed but people were standing up for him saying he should not get killed due to good leadership and worthiness.
 2. I think that Machiavelli would respect the honor and leadership of him. Because Macbeth has ways of making people do the hard work for him which could make Machiavelli more appreciative of him. One of the quotes from Machiavelli is "If you want something let nothing stand in your way" and Machiavelli would like that. He was worthy for his people.

Macbeth

1. Appearance Vs. Reality When it comes to appearance someone can appear to be really trustworthy and truthful but he could actually be a thief or an untrustworthy person. Reality is when something happens right in front of your eyes and then you know its reality because you saw it. Another example of reality might be when someone in your family dies and you get told about it you might have thoughts about it being true or how this could have happened. Appearance is when it appears as thought it was true but when you get to what your looking for its not always there. So that means you can be looking for something your whole life that was never there.
2. Gender roles in Macbeth would usually mean in Macbeth that men are usually in charge and now a days men are usually in charge but women can be in charge to. In Macbeth the women were becoming more powerful. Another description of gender roles are the men do the heavier work for the women and the women will do maybe the detailing around the heavy work making the work load even.
3.Loyalty and Honor can sometimes represent when someone makes a promise and any under circumstance that promise is kept. Honor one example could be that during war and someone is in danger then the person that sees that and will back him up making a smaller chance for him to get killed and being loyal to that person.

Machiavelli

1. Niccolo Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469 at Florance Italy. He was an Italian philosopher and writer based in Florence during the Renaissance. He is one of the main founders of modern political science.  Machiavelli is most famous for a short political treaty. one of them being "The Prince" written in 1953, Five years after his death. He wrote during the time of the Renaissance. He was a great philosopher of his time and he wrote alot of short political treatise that was what he was most famous for. He wrote alot of different kinds of stories as well.

2. "He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command". I think this is a good quote because of the fact that if you want to be obeyed then you have to know how ti give the right directions rules. it tells a leader that to become a leader you must learn how to command and saying the right thing tells if you can be a leader or not a leader.

3. "God is not willing to do everything and thus taking away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us". this shows that our way of doing things sometimes are obviously not always the right way but can be the wrong way. Something were doing wrong is not ending the war it is making more problems that good. A good thing we're doing is political problems are getting solved but not always the easy way.

My favorite Baseball team is the Yankees. I like the Yankees because they are awesome and they are a really good team. My favorite football team is the New York Giants. I like the New York Giants because they are a really good football team. My Favorite basketball team is the Boston Celtics. I love to play Baseball when It comes to playing with friends, I like to play basketball with friends but playing on a team is awesome too. I like playing football on a team but I haven’t done that yet I will be next year, and that’s a sport that I love to play with my friends. During the Summer up at my camp I like to play wiffleball with my friends because we get really competitive when it comes to being fare and playing by the rules most of the time there will be alot of rule changes during the game and it can get very physical throughout the game. Usually after the game we'll go swimming at the beach or of someones dock. When we go to the beach we always have the Skim Boards, Surfboards and a football and there sometimes ends up being an injury when we leave.
