Abstract
This paper explains that democracy in Pakistan has failed because the politics of the country are based on dictatorial democracy and full of corrupt practices. The author points out that the Pakistani society is poverty-stricken; urban sprawl has caused the people to lead miserable lives and, like all poor nations, it is burdened with debt and military rule, seeing little hope of development in the future. The paper states that women in Pakistan have not been given full rights equal to men; they face shocking levels of domestic violence, including acid attacks and burnings by fire, which are estimated to occur in 80 percent of all households in the country.

From the Paper
"Democracy needs institutions, such as viable political parties, an independent judiciary, a free and responsible press and a professional civil service. Pakistan inherited these from the British, but with elected leaders governing like the worst autocrats elections alone were no guarantee of democracy. Failures of consecutive democratically elected leaders in Pakistan cast serious doubts about reinstating such leaders through fresh elections."

Abstract
The paper explores countries like Paraguay, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador and attempts to find answers to the following four questions: what role has the Church - and the Catholic faith - played during dictatorial times; how has the church's role changed over time despite being confronted by dictatorial regimes; to what extent can the Church be considered a monolithic and/or heterogeneous entity; and what has been the influence of the Church upon Latin American politics? The paper discusses how some countries saw the church almost entirely eclipsed (Paraguay being one under Francia) whilst others saw the church assume a greater role (Chile being the best example). Moving onward, the paper discusses how there were national churches that saw an abrupt end to the traditions of the past (Paraguay) whilst others were able to maintain their status as an effective lobbyist for the down-trodden and defenceless in the face of dictatorial oppression; it appears as though some churches had stronger and more resilient leadership than others. The paper shows how the role of the Church during dictatorial times in Latin America seems directly proportional to the resolve of the dictator in question, the toughness and resilience of the national church, and the sort of leadership which guided the church in question.

From the Paper
"This essay will look at the relationship between the Catholic Church and Latin American dictatorships over the course of the nineteenth - and especially twentieth - centuries. The paper will explore countries like Paraguay, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador and attempt to find answers to the following four questions: what role has the Church - and the Catholic faith - played during dictatorial times; how has the church's role changed (and also not changed) over time (and why these changes or continuities have taken place) despite being confronted by dictatorial regimes; to what..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the problem of poverty and the course of action that individuals and groups can take to address societal ills such as poverty. The specifics of what constitutes societal problems differs from society to society, but the basic spirit remains. Some societies in our world, like that of Offred's (which is mirrored in any dictatorial, patriarchal, oppressive society), are indeed directly harmful to broad selections of that society. Poverty is an oppression. Like many liberation theologians, Ngugi uses Marxist social analysis. Each character represents a broader section of society and the individuals they rebel against represent the whole of the governing body of society.

Abstract
From the perspective of a registered principal at a leading brokerage firm, this paper explains what is required in order to effectively take charge of the firm's customers and oversee operations processes. Some of the requirements discussed are implementation strategies, awareness of the tasks and activities performed in the organization, supplying proper service to customers, and an awareness of the needs of the employees. In discussing these aspects, the paper promotes a more participative style of leadership over a dictatorial style as a key to successful management..

From the Paper
"The first step in managing any organization is to know how to implement the strategies that the management wishes to implement. If these are implemented according to plan then the management knows exactly which direction the organization is going in. For this to take place there has to be an unlimited amount of coordination that helps to bring in news of advantages and disadvantages that the organization may be at."

Abstract
In 1933, Adolph Hitler introduced to the government an act that would establish his dictatorial role in Germany. This legislation, known as The Enabling Act, provided unmitigated authority to Hitler and the Reich. As a significant moment in German history, the Enabling Act represents the culmination of Hitler's political ambition for total control over German activity both at home and abroad. This essay summarizes the events leading up to this act and considers the details of the act itself.

Abstract
To understand the point of the humor in "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut, it is necessary to examine the point of the story itself. All of Vonnegut's books touch on broad social issues in a rather cartoonish way that serves a much darker and difficult purpose than what they appear to address. Like Breakfast of Champions, and Hocus Pocus, Cat's Cradle, is a humorous take on the organizations and social structures that the world holds as absolutes with the angle that such things do not exist - all is arbitrary. In this work, we find that there is a brilliant combination of lampoon (in the form of the polarized roles taken by the two friends who created the island nation dictatorial politics and religion, Bokononism; which are intended to oversimplify the arbitrariness of politics and religion) and of black humor (which is clearly marked in the violence, deprivation, and oppression that are used only to perpetrate the lie that is the society). Irony, perhaps, is the constant of every event and passage in this book. It is irony that makes us understand that the humor in the story is a rather caustic, disbelieving, and disenchanting look at our own and every other society.

Abstract
This paper states that, although the Federal Constitution of the United States with its "Checks and Balances" makes it the best-known and most democratic system in the world today, most governments, even dictatorial ones, have a similar mechanism to balance the exercise of power among its branches. The author feels that the U.S. Constitution was and will be a reaction piece to events that happen to the people. This paper concludes that power must be controlled and accounted for: It is not only a right and a privilege but also, more so, a responsibility.

From the Paper
"The system has been tested by actual situations. After the Civil War, President Andrew Johnson vetoed 20 bills (Anonymous), after which Congress overrode more than 20 bills vetoed by the President. In 1918, Congress turned down the Treaty of Versailles, which then President Woodrow Wilson worked hard for. The Treaty was to end World War I. In 1935 to 1936, Supreme Court declared that the NIRA and the AAA, New Deal programs passed by the Roosevelt Administration, were unconstitutional. Likewise, former President Ronald Regan appointed Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court, but his appointment or nomination was rejected by Congress."

Abstract
The paper discusses that internal confusion forced in 133 BC by economic stand still in the city of Rome, slave rebellion and opposition in the military lead to a period of unrelenting political turmoil known as the Roman Revolution 133-27 BC. The paper shows that, in spirit, the republic structure of government experienced a painful and brutal change from negligent oligarchy to a more responsible dictatorial form of government. The paper shows, too, that this transition of Rome from Republic to an Empire saw many things change and one of them was the role of the aristocracy and the change in its status and stature.

From the Paper
"About the time of the beginning of the Principate, Roman society was defined sharply into three main classes, which in turn steadily became more defined during the empire. For each class, specific career and public service opportunities were provided. For senators, these included the chief magistracies and military posts; for the equities (members of the Equestrian class), they included a career in civil or military service of the emperor; for the lower classes, there were limited to private or junior rank in the army. Classes, however, were not closed, and ascension from one to another was quite possible."

Abstract
Compares their contrasting leadership styles. Their different socioeconomic and regional backgrounds. Bill Clinton's "seductive" style as governor and president. Hillary Clinton's more assertive, direct and dictatorial style. Bill Clinton's distinction between the public and the private. His abilities as a campaigner and communicator. How both Clintons worked to achieve their political ambitions.

From the Paper
"Bill and Hillary Clinton:
A Comparative Study of Contrasting Leadership Styles

For eight years, Bill and Hillary Clinton occupied center stage in American political life, he as President of the United States and she as a First Lady with more direct involvement in the operation of the Administration than most other similarly situated women had ever before enjoyed (Andersen, 1999). The Clintons were from substantially different socioeconomic and regional backgrounds: she was the daughter of upper-middle-class Midwesterners, and he the son of a divorced and twice-married Arkansas mother (Andersen, 1999). Together, in the Arkansas governor's mansion and the White House, they created a leadership and governing style in which both played a critical part - even though ..."

Abstract
Machiavelli in "The Prince" provides detailed instruction to a teenaged ruler, one who has already received the childhood moral education from fairy tales and folk parables and is ready for actual, direct instruction in his official duties. This work was a specific guide, written on the model of historic rulers and societies. Based, in no small part, upon the life of Caesar Borgia, a heavy-handed dictatorial ruler, Machiavelli sought to describe the perfect state, one that, if it must have a Prince, should be run in the manner described. The work, however, would meet with a great deal of dismay and horror by the people he intended to "get in" with. In his need to become part of the political life of Italy (in which he had, at one time, been as influential and significant as Sir Thomas More had been in England) created "The Prince", a tract that did not truly reflect his own philosophies of political life, but one, he vainly hoped, would be received well by the ruling family. The purpose of "The Prince" also encompasses a trade-school-like approach, where the intricacies of policy, management and behavior are spelled out directly, in clear, plain language. It is the intent of this paper to examine the role of the Prince in relation to the people from the framework of political function as outlined in Machiavelli's work.
