The Decision That Cost Nixon s Presidential Legacy

The Decision That Cost Nixon’s Presidential Legacy Kyle Knox History to 1877 Upper Iowa University Some people in American history are remembered for their excellence in history like Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and President Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation of slavery in the 19th century. There are those who leave a mark in history that will always be remembered, especially in the oval office. President Richard Nixon left his legacy only referred as one thing, Watergate. This decision cost President Nixon not only is presidency but tainted his name forever as an American President. Nixon was quick to deny the allegation that he was involved in any activity at the Watergate hotel but reporters began to follow the trail of†¦show more content†¦Nixon wanted restore with Americans and the world that the Americans government was still one of the Super Powers in the world, since the U.S. had a poor showing during the Vietnam War. With Nixon’s popularity at an all-time high, he sought re-election for a second term and won another term in 1972. Nixon thought to be another four years at the realms in the oval office was quickly put to an end. During Nixon’s 1972 campaign for his second term, his administration was alleged to be a part of the infamous â€Å"Watergate scandal† (Richard M. Nixon, 2011). On the night of June 17, 1972, five men entered the Democratic National Committee offices inside the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. A night guard found the men in the offices and had them arrested at 2:30 am. After investigators began their interrogations of the men, they saw these men belonged to the Committee to Re-Elect President Nixon (The History Place, 2000). When investigators found this information about these men, red flags went up and the investigation turned to President Nixon. The reason for why these men were sent to Watergate is because in 1970, The New York Times revealed a secret bombing campaign against Cambodia was being directed as part of the American war effort in Vietnam. When Nixon heard of this, he ordered wiretaps of reporters and government employees to discover source of the news leaks (Ibid.). This decision made by Nixon cost his presidency.

“I Rhyme, to See Myself, to Set the Darkness Echoing.”...

â€Å"I rhyme, to see myself, to set the darkness echoing.† How far does this statement apply to and sum up Seamus Heaney’s intentions in writing poetry? In part Seamus Heaney uses his poetry to explore himself but he also explores beyond himself. In his earlier work he mainly explores his childhood. However this develops in his later work, where he looks at his nationality and explores the concept of Irish identity. Heaney also explores darkness on varying levels from the literal to the metaphysical in terms of morality, as well as shining effulgence on the forgotten people. â€Å"Personal Helicon† marks a departure from his autobiographical earlier work, within the collection â€Å"Death of a Naturalist†, â€Å"Personal Helicon† shows this†¦show more content†¦This paradox is compounded as through explaining and transcending himself Heaney gains a greater meaning; as the eminent psychiatrist and neurologist Victor Frankl said â€Å"In other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side-effect of self-transcendence†, Man’s Search for meaning therefore â€Å"Personal Helicon† is Heaney’s epiphany and not a loss of innocence. Heaney goes on to explore beyond himself in the poem entitled â€Å"North†, by shining light at the dark history and politics of Ireland. As in a â€Å"Personal Helicon† a monologue form is adopted, however the narrative is completely fictitious being set in the past, with a persona that is not explicitly Heaney; the persona is similarly searching for an answer to the bloody history, â€Å"I found only the secular Powers of the Atlantic†. Destruction pervades the entirety of â€Å"North†, even the coastal process of erosion is personified as a violent act, â€Å"hammered curve of a bay†, powered by the â€Å"Atlantic thundering†. This thundering invokes a harsh aural sound in the reader in the first stanza foreshadowing the hostile history of Ireland by making it an inherent property in the actual physical land. Furthermore the use of â€Å"secular†, suggests a search for meaning, which cannot easily be found. There is a parallel drawn in the erosion of the coast which paradoxically has carved and created Ireland, as

Concept on the Specific Environment relevant to all Organisations

Question: Define and Describe Academic Theory/Concepts on the Specific Environment relevant to all Organisations. Answer: An introduction to the academic theories of motivation: Motivation is the force which drives individuals and organisations towards innovation and achievement targets. The explorations of the concept by experts from diverse fields have led to the foundation of several academic theories. The assignment speaks about only two of those theories, the three dimensional theory and the motivation hygiene theory and their applications in real life. The three dimensional theory by Bernard Weiner: Bernard Weiner noticed that people note others behaviours and attribute them to the persons nature (Weiner 2013). The three main attribution factors recognised by Weiner are: Stability: Stability results in motivation and brings about positive characteristics among the employees and the managements. For example people working in big companies like Telstra, Australias largest telecommunication company feel more stable which motivates them ("Telstra" 2017). Locus of control: A greater locus of control over internal factors and knowledge about external factors increases motivation among the employees. Controllability: The previous factor helps the employees to control the operations and deal with contingencies better. This increases the level of motivation and productivity. Herzbergs Motivation hygiene theory: Herzberg, an American psychologist proposed the two factors which enforce employee motivation and job satisfaction (Kim, Kim and Heo 2015). They are: Motivator factors: These are the factors which motivates the employees to achieve higher goals. They include feeling respected, promotions and so on which create a positive impact on the employees. The need to achieve recognition and respect in the society also encourage entrepreneurial ventures (Hntek 2015). Hygiene factors: These factors are decided by the management of the companies and are the bases of motivator factors. They include company policies, employee benefits and management-employee relationship. Conclusion: The study reveals two things, first motivation is the driving force behind the global economy and second, it pervades all aspects. The motivation of workforces is the basis of their own achievements and the ascent of the companies in the global market ladder. References: Hntek, M. 2015.
