12 o'clock high

In this movie there were 2 seperate commanders for the bomb squad. The first commander really showed love and compassion for his bombers. He did this by going to his commanding officer and trying to fight for a few days off and some rest because they'd been working really hard. The second commander tried to instill fear into his men. He worked them very hard and his men did not want to follow him even though for a while they were having more success than ever before. In the end though love showed that it was more powerful than fear because the second commander began to love his squadron.

Fear Vs. Love

Fear and Love have some things in common, but there are also many differences. Both fear and love may persuade you to do something for someone else. If you fear that person you might be afraid of the consequences for NOT doing something for that person. If you really do love that person you would feel compelled to do things for them because it would make them feel good or because they want to show compassion for that person. Also if you are loved you feel confident that the people who love you would be willing to help you. If you are feared you may have to live in fear yourself that the people who fear you would want to disassociate themselves from you.

Vice and Virtue

Virtues are very important for everyone to have. On the other hand Vices are something that people should try very hard not to have. This really is not an easy task for anyone. A prince, or leader should have a lot of virtues. He most likely will have some vices as well, but if this is the case, then, in my opinion, they should only be used for the betterment of his people that he rules over.
