Convaincre ses collègues de la pertinence d'un projet, décrypter les discours politiques pour y trouver la faille, défendre ses idées lors des dîners de famille... Sans le savoir, nous avons constamment affaire à un art aussi ancien que redouté: l'argumentation et l'éloquence. Au fond, il s'agit toujours de la même chose : construire, à l'oral ou à l'écrit, un plaidoyer concluant, déjouer les ruses de l'adversaire, savoir répliquer.

The Western world's growth started its first major developmental boom in the early 1800s. We all know the typical story: 1803, The Louisiana Purchase; 1845, Texas joins the Union; 1860, The Civil War; 1865, The abolishment of slavery in the US. Seems like the average 2006 class history lesson right? Of course, it does! While these things did happen, there are things that the government keeps out of textbooks, due to fear of civil unrest. Fear of the truth. A truth that is hard to digest.

By 1943, Adolf Hitler had realised that the German Army was no longer capable of fighting an offensive war. The army was short of men, guns and tanks, and the Luftwaffe could not afford to lose more aircraft. Consequently, when Hitler flew to his forward headquarters in Ukraine in February 1943, he brought with him a clear message: the German Army would no longer go on the offensive. For the next year, it would instead defend its positions and let the Red Army exhaust itself in futile attacks. As we know, that's not how history turned out.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, from Argentina, was the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, and the first from the Southern Hemisphere. During his time as pope, he used a humbler, less formal approach to his office than his predecessors: a warm style that was referred to as "no frills." His common touch and accessibility, as well as his insistence that the church be more open and welcoming, quickly endeared him not only to Roman Catholics but to millions of others around the world.
