Can You Turn The Peace Symbol Sideways

Example of a copy of a student who has reached 19/20 the synthesis ESCP-EAP

How to act when one is a statesman?
What are first principles that should guide the action of a politician? Is first given to the adequacy, events, inconsistent with personal beliefs which, Oswald Spengler, must prevail. Machiavelli also refutes the need to adhere to moral principles, since for him the Prince leaves to turn away good, especially should be flexible to the realities. Raymond Polin is not exactly the same opinion: it is for him a true virtue of the statesman, even if eventually joined others in arguing that the Virtue is not intangible and varies widely depending on the situation . What
report these actions to the people assume they then? Polin, while recalling the freedom of citizens, do not stress less need to deal with the fickleness of their intentions and play skillfully to their passions. Machiavelli the Prince said he has to work the appearance of its shares because it is what the people are really sensitive, not to their effectiveness. Spengler insists instead on the emotional bond between the people and the political report, which bases the authority and unites them in a sense of common destiny.
Basically, is there an end justifies the means? Machiavelli believes the ruling Prince of the shares is for the results and the means to achieve it are few. The choice of objectives is, according to Polin, always difficult: if the success to which we must strive, however, it is more nuanced than Machiavelli about the primacy of the end of the means. But, to Spengler, the ends and means converge to the great statesman, as it is the instrument of history and the stars. While agreeing the need for pragmatism, the authors differ on the nature of it.
