If we are to orient ourselves in the world, either as actors or as scientists, we must select certain phenomena as a worthy of attention while disregarding other phenomena.” Also, our country needs war on drugs because of the behavior of the Filipinos. For David Easton believes that everything has a limit, this country needs new policies to discipline its…
communicate your appreciation. Spiritual leaders sometime lead by conviction even though it cost them their life or the vision if fulfilled after they die. Moses did not enter the promise land. Even though Dr. Martin Luther King was considered a charismatic and transformational leader, he died before he could see his four children live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their…
H. Edward Pruitt starts 100 Years of Theological Convergence: Edinburgh 1910 to Lausanne 2010 with an introduction. In this introduction, he starts off with his thesis; “This thesis argues that a theological convergence developed out of the ecumenism that existed within the Edinburgh 1910 Global Missions Conference, and that this ecumenism grew from Edinburg 1910 until the Lausanne Movement that began in 1974, at which point it began to flourish” (Pruitt 5).

transactional leader will see a job as an exchange for small reward, for example money. Therefore, praise is rarely given (Benjamin, n.d.), unless the result is extremely good, because the worker was simply delivering their side of the transaction. Authority and blame.

Throughout the book, we have discussed the various purposes of persuasion, from how we see it in our day-to-day haggling, to the television commercials we see every day.
