There is a strong correlation between the amount of leadership traits with the degree of referent power and personal power an animal may have. The most successful animals leaders also depend on these types of power. What became a surprise was that physical appearness did not play so much a factor in the quality of leadership in the animals. The largeness of the animals may have made it easier to notice that they had a leadership role. The leaders with some of the least traits where the larger animals such a the Bruce. Although Bruce was the leader of two other sharks, his power over them was constantly tested. Bruce ruled that, “fish are friends, not food” and should not be hunted. At one point though Bruce succumbs to his instinct and attacks Dory and Marlin. Bruce did not have the commitment and the drive to …show more content…
For example Assistant Mayor Bellwether from Zootopia who is a small female sheep. In the fall of the mayor of Zootopia, Assistant Mayor Bellwether assumes the role as mayor. For much of the movie Bellwether, takes constant abuse from the current mayor who is a male lion. Despite her abuse, she maintains a rational adult ego state. Towards the end of the movie Judy threatens Bellwether’s power and Bellwether switches to parent controlling state. She begins to demand Judy to do things without regard for the manner in which she does so. When Judy survives Bellwether’s attempt to assasin her, Bellwether switches to child rebelling ego state. This is where she admits that she framed the previous mayor and sassily says that she will frame Judy too. In response to that, Judy revealed that she was recording Bellwethers confession. Bellwether quickly slipped into child conforming ego state. She let out a deep gasp and stepped back as she turned around to see that she was surrounded by Judy’s fellow officers. She didn’t fight the she just pouted and sunk back as she let them detain
Many people possess leadership qualities although they don’t rule a country. Meriwether Lewis, the official leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition has been called “undoubtedly the greatest pathfinder this country has ever known.” Just like Hazel, Meriwether Lewis led a group of followers into unknown territory. The two guides faced many difficult situations that they were able to overcome since they had the qualities of a notable leader. Both of the journeys were rough, but because of the brave leaders both expeditions were successful.
...llectually superior leaders. Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus Cunctator was a Roman general that helped during the second Punic war. As a child he was known as being very slow to learn. This made the other children think that it made him inferior, but in all actuality i think that this helped him. I think this because he learned and then remembered what he learned. He was promoted from counsul to dictator when Hannibal was approaching Romes gates and Rome was in panic because two counsul members were killed. He came up with the strategy to slowly wear Hannable out instead of meeting him head on in battle. This strategy eventually saved Rome.
Hester and Dimmesdale’s affair goes undiscovered until Hester is pregnant and bears a child without having her husband present. As her punishment, Hester is forced to stand on the scaffold in the middle of the market place, with an A on her chest. Dimmesdale has not told a single person that he is the adulterer. He sits in the balcony with the Governor, a judge, a general, and the rest of the ministers, watching the display, without any expression or emotion. Hester and Pearl go to the Governor’s home to deliver a pair of gloves, but more importantly to inquire about the possibility of the government taking away her child. Also there with Governor Bellingham are Pastor Wilson, Reverend Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth. After Mr. Wilson asks Pearl a few questions, the Governor decides that Hester is unfit as a mother and that the child would be better off in the hands of the church. Hester begs Dimmesdale, whom she says knows everything about her and has charge of her soul, to speak for her. Therefore, he does, convincing the Governor to let Hester keep Pearl. This is Dimmesdale’s first step to becoming the moral blossom. Late at night, a few years after the previous incident, Dimmesdale takes a walk through the town. He climbs onto the scaffold and pretends to confess; though there is no one out at this time at night. Hester and Pearl, on their way home, pass Dimmesdale on the scaffold. Dimmesdale calls out to them and they join him, standing hand in hand in the darkness. Dimmesdale has begun the road to confession by acknowledging Hester and Pearl and by acting out confession. Now he feels guiltier than ever.
You hear people say “Be yourself” or “in a world where you can be anything, be yourself.” However, that statement is untrue when you’re constantly being put into a group. And the problem is everyone is stereotyped. We as humans are unable to really get to know each other. We are too judgmental and too ignorant to look past appearances and language to understand what another person is like. People are afraid of being judged and looked down upon by others to truly show themselves and be who they really are or want to be in this world. The movie Zootopia effectively demonstrates the negativity of stereotyping. Nick is not able to be his true self, take his true identity because he is seen as shifty. However, if the other animals were able to look past that stereotype they would realize that Nick is a kind hearted, friendly fox who is just looking to fit in the town and make friends. Eventually, the other animals learn that about Nick and accept him into the town and into the ZPD (Zootopia Police Department). It wasn’t until Nick proved that he wasn’t shifty or untrustworthy, that the animals actually got to know him and see how he is a great fox. Judy deals with the stereotype of women can’t do as good as job as men and that men are stronger than women Since she is a female rabbit trying to make it in the police force she has to deal with not only the stereotypes of mean versus women but also sexism. She proves
Thus, the question is what makes a leader a leader. For example, back in the early days of homosapian they were so immensely surrounded by danger everywhere either the whether or carnivorous animals harming the very existence of the homosapian race. This caused the homosapian to become social with fellow homosapians which resulted in many pros and lessened the cons for example, a pro would be an increase in safety causing comfort a circle of trust. An environment in which the homosapian could prosper in a calmer as well as trustful manner due to these leaders would prosper those who would stay up in the night to spot danger to worn the rest of a tribe.
One of the biggest ideals shown throughout history is the need for power and dominance. Whether it comes from Hitler taking over Germany and trying to enact a full-scale genocide of an entire race or a Savanna baboon alpha male being challenged by a headstrong youth for dictatorship of the tribe; the need to be the one who calls the shots will always remain an instinctual thought hardwired in our brain. To some this comparison may seem off based and farfetched in regards to similarity, however looking at Sapolsky’s research, the dominance in the animal kingdom can get rather similar. In a quote from his book A Primate’s Memoirs, Robert states, “Solomon entered the fight, ably taking on both while they were preoccupied and exhausted. Result: number 203 dead, Aaron badly injured, Solomon settling in to his reign” (Pg 22-23). The clichéd quote of “all is fair in love and war” could not sum up this act of social dominance any better. Solomon, who was number 3 in the chain of command, waited on the arduous fight of the two contenders to wage on...
When we think of leadership, many people may think of current or former presidents. They could also think of their boss at work or coach from whatever sport they participated in throughout grade school and college. What were the traits that distinguished them for their role as a leader? One of the most common traits that exist in many areas is that leaders are typically males. Even looking back in history leadership roles where highly monopolized by male figures. Washington, Napoleon, and even God is identified as male. One of the most resistant areas that this discrimination exists in is the military and more so the Marine Corps. It is important to develop an understanding of the benefits of equally
Name of the movie that I selected was “Stranger in Good Company”. This movie was directed by Cynthia Scott and it was released at May 03, 1991(www.imdb.com). This movie is 105 minutes long and audience for this movie is mostly adults. I chose this movie because it is a heartwarming, slow paced reflection on life, the strong human spirit, and the meaning of true friendship when it occurs between strangers. In addition to that, this movie that show us the true unity, love, and individuality. This movie is related to the aging because almost all the actors are seniors and they truly bring their life memory to the movie. This movie shows us many sociological imagination, life course and diachronic vision that most of the older people have.
In today's rapidly changing world, leadership is necessary to keep up with the competition. In the extract from the film “Braveheart”, William Wallace demonstrated many leadership techniques that helped his army prevail as an underdog. Many of the techniques Wallace used are prevalent in modern day business leaders as well. By stepping up in a leadership role, Wallace gained the respect of the entire army even though he was not the man that was put in charge. One of the main things that Wallace did was lead through his actions. By stepping up to the front line, it showed his troops that he was not scared and this attitude was imitated by the rest of the troops. In the present day business world, an effective leader hears what others have to say and helps them with their issues. This is just what Wallace did.

There are always people who, in a group, come out with better qualities to be a leader than others. The strongest people however, become the greater influences which the others decide to follow. However, sometimes the strongest person is not the best choice. Authors often show how humans select this stronger person to give an understanding of the different powers that people can posses over others.

Leaders are not always to be trusted, and this is highlighted in the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell as the message of the text. In Animal Farm, leadership is represented through the actions and personalities of the various characters as a powerful, but easily corruptible force. The Leaders of Animal Farm start off with good intentions but as the story goes on it becomes obvious the leaders have grown power-hungry and have become the ‘superior’ animals, showing that equality does not exist. Propaganda and manipulation play a big part in the novel, stopping the animals from protesting or noticing that their leader was extremely greedy and corrupted. There are excellent leaders as well as awful ones, making it hard to know who to trust in, who to believe and what to do, after all leaders are hard to go against, but a corrupted leader is never a good thing.
