Leadership In The Hunger Games

Improved Essays
Leadership is portrayed in The Hunger Games, Coach Carter, Remember The Titans and Avatar through different methods. But in all four films there are effective leaders that are able to overcome challenges and put themselves at risk to create change. True leaders don’t need to have a great technical or intellectual capacity, true leaders just need to have the right attitude and behaviour that relates to the people surrounding and following them. Leadership is not about being served by others but it is the role and the opportunity to serve other people. True leaders know who they are and what they stand for, and are also able to say “do as I do” rather than “do as I say”, because they lead by example. Coach Carter and Coach Boone both had challenges

    Leadership is providing direction to a group of people that may be seeking or lacking greater information. Through powerful leaders, the ability to transfer knowledge among similar generations takes patience and clarity.

This was done in order to view the power discourses in action. When I read the book, it was up to my imagination to create the arena, the Capitol and the Districts in my mind, but when I watched the film, it was like giving voice to my thoughts. It helped me in understanding the discourses of power, technology, poverty and misery in a completely different way. The setting, actors, costumes, makeup and context made it all appear even more realistic than ever.…

Furthermore, I am actively involved in school activities, such as choir and other activities that inspire others to make a difference.…
