Abstract
The paper relates that Le Corbusier is a renowned modern architect who sought to create designs filled with purity, unity, and order. The paper discusses how at the beginning of the 20th century, he saw huge technological innovations that simultaneously changed the needs of society while also providing the means to meet those needs. The paper explains that inspired by the potential of machines and industry, Le Corbusier created a unique style of architecture best demonstrated by his Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau, designed to show the world how the "new spirit" could positively impact cities, homes, and even the furnishings in those homes.

From the Paper
"Architecture is a unique art form, blending function and form, balancing aesthetics and utility, and often challenging our ways of thinking about the structures we use and the way we use them. Many architects are quite happy to offer their clients a "safe" plan that neither challenges society's notions of practicality nor excites the imagination. Yet many others see themselves as shapers of the future and fixers of failure in planning and design. Charles Edouard Jeanneret, better known by his pseudonym, Le Corbusier, is an excellent example of the latter. Le Corbusier is considered an architectural visionary and leader because of..."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Bayard's perspective of his father, Colonel John Sartoris, in William Faulkner's Civil War novel, "The Unvanquished". The analysis provides Bayard's young and mature perspectives of his father and contrasts them with Colonel Sartoris' view of himself.

From the Paper
"The perspective of Colonel John Sartoris we receive in William Faulkner's "The Unvanquished" is a perspective that changes. Initially in Ambuscade and Retreat we see that Colonel Sartoris' son, Bayard, provides a heroic and idyllic perspective of his father. Though this perception will change as Bayard matures, the impression we get of Colonel Sartoris in Ambuscade is one of a gallant, intelligent, heroic, courageous and honorable man who is devoted to his family and is the epitome of masculinity. Colonel Sartoris represents many..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the movie "Glory", shows an exponential amount of different types of leadership styles. The paper relates that the movie showed varying levels of leadership that were both great and poor. In particular, the paper examines the leadership capabilities of the character of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and how they could be described perfectly using the seven relationship-oriented attitudes and behavior, found in the Andrew J. Dubrin textbook, and a leader's responsibilities, found in the Harvard Business Review.

Outline:
Relationship-Oriented Attitudes and Behaviors
Leaders Responsibilities
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The third attitude and behavior is creating a type of inspiration and or visibility. This would mean helping people realize what they are working towards and give them a clearer vision of that goal (Dubrin, 106). Colonel Shaw did this by combining it with satisfaction of higher-level needs. This means helping people reach their personal growth (Dubrin, 107). Colonel Shaw started by training his troops in a very tough but logical kind of setting. He wanted to train his men properly, like any other troops. Most of the regiment felt like they were going to be treated less like troops, and more like workers, but Colonel Shaw proved them wrong. This gave them a sense of belonging, which in turn helped them realize what each one was fighting for (Dubrin, 107). Some were fighting for the north, and some for themselves or people in their family. Colonel Shaw had to inspire his troops on many different levels. (Dubrin, 107).

Abstract
This paper charters the political career of "Colonel" Edward Mandell House and in particular his time as the trusted adviser to Woodrow Wilson. It looks at how House played an important role in the peace process at the end of World War I and how he was the American representative for the surrender of Germany, before arriving at the Paris peace conference as Wilson's personal representative. It discusses how he tried to secure a future for Germany with concessions made to the French outside of the limits of power and guidelines that he had been given to him by Wilson thus compromising Wilson's position.

From the Paper
"Although Wilson and House were close, House remained an accomplished and ambitious political operator. He had been observing Wilson, and had concluded that Wilson's methods of doing things was not quick enough or ultimately going to solve any problems. He was also very passionate about the league of nations, and felt that Germany should not be treated to harshly, he said that "if the conditions we impose upon Germany are unjust, it will simply mean the breeding of another war." As house began to listen to all sides of the argument over the Rhineland. He took on board all sides of the argument, and was eventually able to come up with a solution that would be acceptable to all sides, and eventually decided to give permission for the French to create a Rhenish republic, at least until they were able to rebuild militarily. House tried his best to address this issue, by suggesting the now infamous "demilitarization of the Rhineland," which was to happen in three stages."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"During the second week of his escape, Day started to hear the nearby sounds of American artillery and helicopters. In the darkness of night, he continued his journey until the base camp was in sight. He was afraid to approach the friendly fortress during the darkness because he knew the defenders might mistake him for an enemy, so he lay down in the jungle to await dawn. Shortly before the sun rose, he looked up to see a North Vietnamese soldier pointing an AK-47 rifle at him. Attempting to escape, Day was shot in his left hand and thigh. A day and a half later, he was recaptured and returned to his original prison camp."

Abstract
The paper explores and compares two books on architecture, "Le Corbusier" by Kenneth Frampton and "Master Builders" by Peter Blake. The paper shows that both books discuss the life and works of architect Le Corbusier, although they differ in that Frampton's book focuses mainly on Le Corbusier while Blake studies equally the works of Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright.

From the Paper
"According to Frampton, Corbusier was most likely the most famous and certainly the most controversial architect of the twentieth century. His impact on the urban fabric and the way all have lived has been enormous due to the richness and diversity of his work as well as his fervently expressed philosophy of architecture. Thus, the author weaved through his long and prolific life that was recurrent themes, his permanent drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the U'it d'Habitation at Marseille. Furthermore, he detailed his evolving concepts of urban form, which included the Plan Vision of 1925 along with its cruciform towers that were imposed on the city of Paris and finally his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order (Barnes and Noble)."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of Le Corbusier's contribution to modern architecture, as well as his role in the larger Modernist movement in contemporary art. The paper contends that the influences that affected Le Corbusier's style and vision in architecture were related to events in history as well as contemporary art and philosophy. In other words, Le Corbusier's architectural vision was part of the artistic movements and milieu of his era and this forms part of the understanding of his influence on architecture.

From the Paper
"Le Corbusier was attracted to the visual arts from an early age. The earliest houses that he designed were similar in design to the vernacular architectural styles popular in the Alps. Later he expanded his artistic horizons and traveled to Europe where he was employed in the offices of the pioneer of reinforced concrete, Auguste Perret. Between October 1910 and March 1911 he worked for the renowned architect Peter Behrens near Berlin. All of these influences were to have an impact on the development of his style and architectural philosophy."
