Abstract The paper shows how "King Lear" by William Shakespeare, is an unforgettably disturbing story of unbearable injustice and cruelty as well as of unseen loyalty and love. The paper explores how, from beginning to end, it is a tale of deception, and not just any kind, but filial deception as well as fraternal deception and deception in relationships by affinity. The author uses quotes from the original text to show how the theme of disloyalty is seen throughout the play.
From the Paper "Birds of a treacherous feather flock together and dupe one another too. The sisters Goneril and Regan now both want Edmund, who rather than choose, takes both of them for convenience and in order to avoid the displeasure of both:"To both these sisters have I sworn my love; each jeaolus of the other, as the stung are of the adder. Which of them shall I take? Both? One? Or neither?" (Act 5 Scene 1 lines 64-67)
"We know how the sisters try to outdo each other till the end, but with Goneril finally poisoning Regan and eliminating her from the competition, Goneril being the original and more wicked of the two. But Goneril meets her own end when her husband Albany gets hold of her secret letter to Edmund and Albany confronts her. In smoldering embarrassment and guilt, she takes her own life."

Abstract This paper examines how, as a result of management practice, employees are likely to demonstrate loyalty or disloyalty and, although loyalty is not a formal management practice, nevertheless, it is necessary for determining business success in the form of profitability. It shows that where there is low loyalty level prevalent in an organization, the cost to profitability is high, as management not only has to be conscious of employees' performance, but also see that employees do not divulge information within the organization to competitors, meet company objectives, meet standards set by the industry, and meet customer satisfaction requirements.
From the Paper "Experts like Abbassi (2000) are of the opinion that employee disloyalty results in low profitability. Firms with little technological developments, career opportunities or have few provisions for equal employment opportunities, racial discrimination, rewards for performance and allowance for benefits are likely to face employee disloyalty issues. And hence, it would not benefit the organization to invest in high tech machineries or equipments, or develop sophisticated supply chain management programs unless they first address employee loyalty issues. Employees are not motivated to achieve organizational objectives neither would they be interested in fulfilling customer demands or concerned about the customer satisfaction. Eventually, organizations would have to face reduction in sales and hence profitability."

Abstract This paper explains that the parents of the boys failed to insulate the brothers from the mutual animosity they harbored for each other; now, even when the boys get along with people, an undercurrent of resentment and hypersensitivity erupts into periodic conflicts. The author points out that the boys' projections of their imagined fears of rejection and disloyalty are characteristic of people with this type of early foundational family experience. The paper stresses that there can be no improvement in the brothers' relationship or in their family's other issues without professional intervention by intensive, professional psychological counseling.

From the Paper "The father's repertoire of emotional manipulations included outright
accusations of "disloyalty" and global characterizations of untrustworthiness and the worthlessness of one brother in combination with strategic praise of the other. In addition, he exploited private sentiments and concerns of the brothers and any personal information disclosed to him by one about the other as emotional ammunition during times of conflict."
Abstract This paper reviews the story of "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison and discusses the theory that Ralph Ellison's tale, though it is focused on an African-American man's search for political and personal freedom in America, ultimately conjures themes of universal invisibility and alienation. He sent his naive hero falling through almost every level of this divided society; the unnamed protagonist travels from a college in the Deep South to the streets of Harlem. It discusses how "Invisible Man" is an African-American novel because a white man could not successfully have written it because it is soaked in African-American life and experience. It depicts to the reader how detached even the best of the whites are from the black men that pass them on the streets, and it is created from a special compound of emotions that no white man could possibly fabricate. It shows how its "Invisible Man" continues to speak to readers after more than fifty years. At its most basic level, Ellison's message is clearly not only for one particular racial group. The problems of disloyalty, illusion, and difficulty forming one's own values are experienced by everyone.
From the Paper "In order to create the depth that speaks for all of humanity, Ellison employs various tactics and techniques. He uses the wholeness and endless complexity of the American language, including musical and religious elements from culture. With musical language, he writes in the Prologue of descending, like Dante, into the depths of music ? ?and beneath the swiftness of the hot tempo there was a slower tempo and a cave and I entered it and looked around and heard an old woman singing a spiritual as full of Weltschmerz as flamenco ? and below that I found a lower level and a more rapid tempo and I heard someone shout ?? (Ellison 8-9)."

From the Paper "Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?
The Praetorian Guard under the Julio-Claudians
The Praetorian Guard, the personal guard force of the Roman emperors, has become a byword for the ability of a bodyguard to control, and ultimately to elevate or depose, the person whom it is supposed to guard. By the nature of its situation throughout the early and middle eras of the empire -- as the only military force in near the capital of an empire most of whose armies were dispersed among the frontiers -- it had the potential to control its imperial masters. Against a conspiracy or riot an Emperor could call upon the Praetorian Guard, but if the Guard itself..."
Abstract The paper examines the theme of filial loyalty in Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear." The paper focuses on loyalty children owe their parents and how the play demonstrates what constitutes loyalty and tragic consequences of disloyalty.
From the Paper "One of the central themes in William Shakespeare's "King Lear" centers on the loyalty owed by children to their parents, a theme explicated in the relationships between Lear and his three daughters, Cordelia Goneril and Regan and the Earl of Gloucester and his sons Edgar and Edmund, the bastard King Lear."
Abstract In this article, the writer maintains that Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 led U.S. government officials to believe that West Coast Japanese residents, especially the Issei and the Nisei population, helped plan the attack. The writer points out that in response, these officials, including U.S. Attorney General Francis Biddle, Los Angeles Congressman Leland Ford, and California Attorney General Earl Warren, called for the internment of first-generation Issei people and the second generation, American-born Nisei people in camps where they would spend the rest of the period of World War II. The writer notes that the intent was to prevent them from committing further acts of disloyalty to the U.S. The writer then discusses that, acting on their recommendation, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which evacuated almost 120,000 West Coast residents of Japanese descent from their homes to 10 government War Relocation Authority camps in the West, South and Southwest areas. The writer discusses the treatment of the Japanese internees and looks at the impact of and reactions to the internment.
From the Paper "The internment caused them further and deeper losses and sufferings. The internees lost their jobs, social networks, and education as well as work opportunities for being separated from the mainstream of life. The bitterness they felt towards the American government but could not direct to it was instead directed towards one another. There were conflicts between pro-Japanese and pro-American groups. As a result, hundreds of Nisei students who attended schools, like the College of Oberlin in Ohio, left the camps. Some Christian churches helped by taking Nisei people to work for them in the South and Midwest. Around a thousand joined the US military forces as part of the all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Four internees coursed their grievances through the courts and challenged the constitutionality of the relocation order. Their petitions were initially denied. But in December, 1944, the US Supreme Court found the petition of Mitsuye Endo as meritorious and decided that her detention violated her civil rights. In January, 1945, the War Department rescinded the evacuation orders and arranged for the release of the internees."
Abstract This paper discusses jealousy as one of the central motives in William Shakespeare's play, "Othello." It discusses the jealousy between Iago and Cassio, the Moor and Cassio, as well as between Iago and the Moor. The paper shows how through Iago's deceitfulness, hatred and disloyalty, the tragedy of the play occurred. The paper suggests that if it had not been for Iago's unsympathetic sentiments and the jealousy, the play might have had a different ending.
From the Paper "Even though many blame the tragedy on Othello's gullibility, it is Iago's tricky and devious behavior that launched and triggered it. Since Othello profoundly trusted Iago, he hardly ever suspected any infidelity from him and that is proven throughout the whole script, in statements such as, "Honest Iago,/ My Desdemona must I leave to thee"(Act I, Scene III, 295). As a consequence, Iago took advantage of Othello's trust and kept revealing more of his forged love, which is proved in the play when Iago alleged that, " Though I do hate him as I do hell-pains,/Yet, for necessity of present life,/I must show out a flag and sign of love" (Act I, scene I, 154-156). It is the "flag and sign of love" which Iago revealed, that instigated Othello's gullibility, and if it wasn't for that advantage, Othello would've not fallen in Iago's trap. Unfortunately, the one closest to the heart is the greatest enemy; because it is him that knows the weakness of one's heart and mind. Iago was indeed very disloyal to his Moor, and deceitful by his behavior toward him."
Abstract This paper contends that Hamlet, as the protagonist in Shakespeare's work by the same name, did not know himself, and in this farce of identity commits acts of treason, of disloyalty and the denouement, the blood bath at the end of Shakespeare play and proves to be a lessening of personal identity. The paper discusses how Hamlet's own identity is lost to the rising delusions of his father's ghost, and the plot thickening of betrayal which Hamlet himself plays a hand and is dealt a hand.
From the Paper "The scene when Hamlet meets his father's supposed ghost is one in which fate is mentioned. Any device used in literature to make of the character a tool for fate is, in its entirety, using fate as a scapegoat for actions. In fate is found the lessening of a man. His actions are not controlled by his own will but instead are parlayed into the compartments of the hierarchy of gods, of wishes and destiny: A man knows himself through the choice and follow through of his own actions. Hamlet does choose revenge but in this he is guided and pushed by his father's ghost. As Horatio contends, after Hamlet's departure to bear witness to his father's ghosts, "He waxes desperate with imagination" (Act One, Scene Four, line 87). In this simple phrase is found the rudimentary beginnings of Hamlet's downfall. In Hamlet's imagination there is a world of difference between the reality of the play and what the reader is led to believe through Hamlet's soliloquies. "
