davis.strategies for a great ruler
I personally think there has to be a balance between a really harsh leader and a compassionate leader to be productive in a society. They should have clear expectations so people know exactly what they can and cant do but the leader should listen when a person or a community has an idea. If the people are happy with the decisions, they will be more willing to help with other things like getting ideas started or not rebelling against the rules. If they do rebel, there should be harsh consequences. If there aren't any punishments, people will keep doing illegal things and not care. For example, at my old school i was late in the morning all the time and no one did anything about it. So I didn't care either. But now that i go to JCHS, I know that tardiness leads to expulsion and I really can't afford to be expelled, so i make sure not to be late. So overall, I strongly think that a balance between being kind but keeping a strong hand works best as a ruler

1.you had a clear topic statement that explains that you think for a society to succeed, there needs to be a balance between a harsh and compassionate leader. You also gave evidence on how the ruler should treat his people in the first couple of sentences.
ReplyDelete2.your thought are pretty well organized because from this paragraph i can see that for a ruler to succeed, there needs to be a,b,and c.
3.I think that you gave evidence that was relevant to your ideas. You demonstarted a cause and effect that would happen in an anology in your idea of a how a ruler should be.
4.You were on topic and told your ideas right after the other so the reader could visualize the type of ruling.
5.Your evidence was good, but i think there should have been an example of how your idea of ruling has been used in history and succeeded.
