Why was Squanto important to the Pilgrims?
Squanto was important because he was friends with the Pilgrims. He helped the Pilgrims by leading them through forests so they could hunt. Sir Ferdinando Gorges was a slave taker. Squanto was taken by Sir Gorges for slavery in Spain, but they became friends because Sir Gorges taught Squanto English. Eventually, Squanto escaped and went to England. When he returned to New England in 1619 as pilot for an English sea captain, he escaped and discovered that his people had been destroyed by a disease.Squanto was born in 1585 and died in 1622, because he had Indian fever and his nose started to bleed, so he bled to death. Squanto was 37 years old. He was born in Massachusetts and grew up there, too. His real name was Tisquantum. Squanto was an American Indian of the Wampanoag tribe. He was popular because he was friends with Chief Massasoit of the same tribe.One reason why Squanto was so important to the pilgrims is when winter came he provided good shelter for them
Was John D Rockefeller a villain?
Rockefeller was such a paradox, with a deep commitment to his Christian faith and charity yet with the driving force to achieve his business objectives. Growing up with an unreliable, dissolute father, young John fed his mother and siblings by working a smallholding where he learned a vital lesson. He could grow a business by borrowing money and making it work for him. When he saw the opportunity presented by oil, he sprung into action, speedily enacted his strategic planning by A) borrowing money, and B) establishing a three-man control group including himself. Moving swiftly his group recruited more high performing managers then used them to expand the growing corporation often by buying competitors Conscious that overproduction could cause a glut and an unstable market he sought a balance by exporting to Europe. By creating the first-ever multiskilled multilayered corporation he virtually controlled the growing petroleum industry. Without his control, the industry would almost certainly have lurched from glut to shortage with unstable pricing and equally unstable supply. By outstanding efficiency and management, the Rockefeller team succeeded in providing the best service and a product which could light a small room of as little as one cent per hour. It is true in that any large company with many layers of staff that field salesmen far removed from top-down management will sometimes try to bend the rules to win their own commission. As Rockefeller admits in his ‘Random Reminiscences, “ the ideal way is to recruit from within the companies service, but our expansion was too rapid to permit this in all cases. Some of these were overzealous in going after sales by acting in violation of the wishes of the company. John D was aware of a public perception that he was driven by greed and had this to say in his ‘Random Reminiscences: “You hear a good many people…. say much about greed…. To lay too much stress upon the reports of greed would be folly. It is by no means for money alone that these active-minded men labour, they are in a fascinating occupation. It is unarguable that many dishonest and greedy corporations behaved extremely badly and earned a blanket reputation for unfettered capitalism but there were many ethical hard-working entrepreneurs who brought credit to themselves and their industries. These would include Commodore Vanderbilt who shone in the steamship industry, also James J Hill one of the few successful railroad operators, Charles Schwab in the steel industry, Andrew Mellon and his financial entrepreneurship and of course John D Rockefeller. Many commentators remember only that Rockefeller made a vast fortune often without analysing that his success was largely based on brilliant foresight and management. Few would have quibbled with his largesse in distributing this wealth. Before he died he had gifted nearly $600 million more than any other American. What spoke most highly of his imagination was how these funds were invested, not in charity handouts but through carefully picked teams of scientists and social workers, They created the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research and would discover cures for yellow fever, meningitis, hookworm, the boll weevil and many other evils, earning Nobel prizes for several of his team and sharing their discoveries worldwide.
