Recommended: the history of thailand

While not many kings rule in the modern day, those that do are often loved by their country and King Bhumibol Adulyadej is no exception. Within the Kingdom of Thailand, there is a democratic government but there is still a royal family that plays a major role in the influence over the people. King Bhumibol Adulyadej has a considerable attachment to His people and in return, the people of Thailand love Him back as if His Majesty was kin to them and personally, I have a great fondness of the King. This fondness doesn’t come simply from Him being our King but from what He has done in His lifetime that has been to improve the life of the country. Because of the actions He carried out during His reign and still continues to perform, He has become …show more content…

As an author, King Bhumibol produced two books titled Phra Mahachanok which is about Buddhist scripture and The Story of Thong Daeng, a story about one of His adopted stray dogs (His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej). These works are famous novels among the Thai people. In photography, the King had taught Himself how to use a camera after being given one by Queen Srinagarindra (His Majesty’s mother). Throughout his excursions in Thailand, He would always bring a camera with Him to create galleries of Thailand for His own documentation. Even with newer models of cameras, the King still maintains control over the image for a beautiful outcome (His Majesty the King’s Photography). Additionally, His Majesty had a fondness of crafting His own toys when the days young were still with Him. This eventually leading to the building of numerous sailing boats. His Majesty had built hand crafted boats of different calibre. The first of which, were built to Enterprise International specifications. Occasionally, the King would invite rulers from around the world to have races and an example of this was the Duke of Edinburgh where the two started in Pattaya, Thailand to Koh larn, Thailand. The second was the International OK Class such as the Navaruek in 1965. The final specification the King built His boats to was the International Moth Class boat with His Mod, Super Mod and Micro Mod boats (His Majesty the King’s Hand …show more content…

King Bhumibol’s sheer brilliance is something I would like to meet in person. During His long lifetime His Majesty has accomplished so much in many different fields that I aspire to conquer them in His footsteps. In addition, His intelligence has lead Him to introduce and create so many inventions and organizations for the benefit of the people. The Royal Foundation continues to produce organic crops to this day and the aerators are in operation all over Thailand still. Most importantly though, it’s King Bhumibol’s fuel that makes His Majesty incredible. The loyalty to Thailand is a passion that burns within all true Thais. We Thais love our country, and with that comes our King. Though the king does not know us individually as 70,000,000 people, His Majesty loves us as one whole- He loves us as one

    The periods of 1200-1450 and 1450-1700 were polar opposites for a multitude of reasons but the most important reasons the two were different were, the invention of the printing press, the enlightenment, along with one man, Martin Luther. These three things changed the course of world history and brought upon a period that led to the updating of human nature at a previously unseen rate. They challenged what was though prior to 1450, and helped humanity to develop and expand. Without the printing press, the Enlightenment, and Martin Luther we would be living similar to the people of the time did, 500 years later.

    Many of us complain about the tough hours we work or the amount of chores we have to complete, but think about the truly harsh conditions that young girls and women had to work in the textile industry with very little pay and no accolades. Back in the 18th century, when the Industrial Revolution struck, it made it hard for female mill workers to enjoy being employed. Due to the terrible working conditions, the amount of hours worked, and the low wages were a few of the similarities that the female mill workers in England and Japan shared.

    To begin, king never tried to brutally earn civil rights. King once stated “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only love can do that” (king). This means hating one another doesn’t improve the situation but loving one another could. He is basically demonstrating how you can’t fight fire with fire, it solves nothing. This is something he learned from his studying of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was a spiritual leader of India’s independent movement. He was a great influence on king. He, as well as king, believed in opposing evil violently. This is why he was so moving to some people, because he didn’t need force to prove his point. You would think at least once king would have tried to physically fight back after one too many beatings or being arrested for protesting unfair laws, but not once did he ever try to swing back, or threaten anyone who brought harm his way. In his acceptance speech, in Oslo, he mentions “I believe that unharmed truth and uncon...

    ... He showed his people in his speech that he was a strong leader and had the mindset to overcome a war. Not only did he appeal to ethos, but also he connected to his people emotionally through pathos. The King asked them to stand firm and unite in this time of trial. The King did not demand them to do this, rather asked this of them. By using this formal approach to reach out to the nation, he showed that he cared about them on a respective level. The King did not talk down to the nation when giving this speech. He made this speech as formal as possible because this speech was given one day before the outbreak of World War II and he wanted to show the nation he cared and they could overcome this time of terror. Through using these rhetorical devices, The King empowered the nation and reminded his citizens of their strength and abilities to overcome adversity in life.

    The King is dead and Lord Tywin is asking Tommen, his grandson (the new King) what he thinks what makes a good King. Tommen lists off attributes such as; holiness, just, and strength. Lord Tywin, agrees that these are all good qualities to have. However, he says holiness is a naïve characteristic to have as a King [leader]. Tywin, explains that being a just King [leader] can leave you in a vulnerable place if you are not careful. Furthermore, having strength as a King [leader] is a very powerful characteristic to have when you have some many others looking towards to lead. But, all of these King [leader] attributes are nothing on their own, you can not have one without the others, but there is something missing in this picture. Tommen points out that they (pervious Kings) all lacked wisdom.
