Leadership is a trait that is extremely valuable in any society. Leadership is a very influential process. Being in any position of leadership allows for a person to shape, regulate, control and change the attitudes, behavior, and performance of his group members. Leadership roles fall into different categories depending on actions that are required. Three of the main ones are the following: Autocratic leaders make decisions without consulting team members, democratic leaders make final…

Simultaneous Truths Zadie Smith’s “speaking in Tongues” intensely explores the ability to embody more than one voice. Originally a lecture following the inauguration of Barack Obama, Smith compares the then President-Elect to historical figures who share his “irreducible multiplicity” (12). As a biracial man who has lived in multiple states and countries, Obama has the gift to speak to and identify with many different people. Throughout this text, Smith wavers in deciding whether it is…

The creation of the Keystone XL Pipeline is an issue that has become the subject of national debate for the past couple of years. On one hand, there are those that believe it should be built because of its economic benefits. On the other hand, there are those who are against its creation because of the environmental damage it could cause and the communities it could ruin. Because of how divided people are over its creation, President Barack Obama has had to address the issue several times as…

In the world that we live in, there is often upsets in our lives and in the lives around us. Being that we are all a part of one society, everything that happens to one society happens to every other society as well. In the article, " The Earth is Cruel", by Leonard Pitts, he goes on to discuss all of the horrible things that occur in Haiti, and how they are still able to stand back up on their feet and move forward with their lives. In this article, I believe that there is one central theme…

I Believe In Role Models I believe that everyone should have a role model to look up to. I was watching my brother play varsity high school football against their rival, Garner-Hayfield. Since it was his senior year, it was my brother’s last time facing Garner, so I knew it was going to be a heck of a game. The stands were completely full, and the fences surrounding the field were packed. I’ve never seen anything like it before; the whole town was at the game. The teams were warming up to play…

I believe that the last candidate interviewed should be the one that is hired. This decision is based upon my evaluation on several factors. First, the urgency of the position that needs to be filled. This position is an integral part of the organization and should be filled post haste. Second, the professional and business like quality of the candidate in question. The candidate in question presented a level of professionality that seemed fit for the position. However, her make-up seemed to be…

When we land in Acirema, I am tired. I couldn 't sleep on the boat, something from the party didn 't add up. The guy who yelled "Is that the one they thought had both powers?" how had he known about that? I try to tell myself that the only reason he knew was because most people there were apart of the Acirema government, so maybe that 's how he knew. But another part of me feels like there 's a sign on my forehead saying "Hey look at me I 'm the freak with both gifts!" Even though I still don 't…

My most memorable vacation was a trip to Florida with two of my best friends a few years ago. They were both moving halfway across the country soon, so we decided to splurge on one last trip together. We drove all the way to Florida from New York. It took nearly 24 hours of driving, but we finally made it. We visited Disney World, Universal Studios, and the beach because we had never been to any of those places before. Our vacation was filled with thrills, some disappointment, and ended on a…

After a long grueling work day in the hot summer sun, I was finally driving home up I55 north. Traffic had yet to become congested, so my ride home was smooth sailing. I was thrilled because I knew the moment I got home and walked through that door, the weekend would officially start. Thoughts crossed my mind of what I wanted to do once I made it home. Did I want to play drums, watch a movie, or play a game; then it hit me, there was an amazing deal on new game I had wanted desperately called,…
