Writing Feedback / 'bear the burden / push to learn / think' - important qualities of a leader? [NEW]

The best leaders are not those who seek power or have great political skill. Great leaders-and these are exceptionally rare, especially today-represent the best selves of the people they represent.

Assignment: What are the most important qualities of a leader?

The seemingly easy question of " what does the most vital qualities of a leader" has been the fodder of the debate and controversy. However, we cannot make a conclusion about any individual's view wrong or right; in fact, I suppose an outstanding leader should possess remarkable personalities.

Virtue is one of the most notable traits for a leader to learn. Chinese often say " to learn virtue means to train yourself". Nowadays, peace is spread over the sky and war can be diminished at any rate. To defense then to build are the one of the triumphant strategies in the peace time. Ever since the chaos of our world have been settled down, a good leader should learn to be virtuous or make it applied to any situation. To love humanity is to love ourselves but to kill them off means to deplore the root of life. The role of virtue has penetrated deeply into many nations, especially Vietnam.

More to the point, to be virtuous cannot make a whole thing of leader, to be skilled at communication and negotiation is indeed notable, especially in a peaceful destiny. After the second World War , humans have been haunted by the scene of death and explosion and the thought of war to be raised nowadays is always refuted or negatively considered. In fact, a good leader has to know how to get the conflict among nations at a safe level by negotiating. We believe that to talk and pursuade strike out to be at war. If any leader is successful at this stage, that is really a good news. Besides , international communication plays a big function in maintaining friendship and tranquility. We can do the same way as we do to our friends, our relatives. This strategy is called "angel in peace". Since to hold a relationship for a long term is somewhat harder than to fight at the battle.

Overall, there are many other traits a leader should learn but I suppose these two since they are practical and useful at this time. I know a leader has to bear the burden of his or her country and to push them learn something more is quite hard but, to think deeply, if they learn to become better, the burden will be weighed less.

Writing Feedback / Do violence and immorality in the media make our society more dangerous and immoral? [3]

Many among us like to blame violence and immorality in the media for a "decline in morals" in society. Yet these people seem to have lost touch with logic. Any objective examination shows that our society is far less violent or exploitative than virtually any society in the past. Early humans murdered and enslaved each other with astonishing regularity, without the help of gangsta rap or Jerry Bruckheimer films

Assignment: Do violence and immorality in the media make our society more dangerous and immoral?

Violence and immortality have raised many questions recently. The tough fact is that we should not apply force or any other method including military to make the problem settled down since mental illness needs mental cures. However, many today sociologists and psychologists blame media for imposing bad habits and violent scenes on our generations, which make a fuss about entertainment as a whole. Instead, many factors can be responsible for the change of humans behaviour.

Everyone was born with good and evil innate traits but what makes it grow into a complete manner of itself is the environment. Chinese often say "Near dark ink, get dark soul". The surrounding with robbers, slumbers, killers cannot help a new comer to become goood citizen but, inversely, a dwelling with friendly friends, helpful neighbours, educated people is indeed a wise place to live in since it makes an impact on the dwellers in a great extent.

More to the point, media, to be specific, television programs, do not do harm to the viewers themselves but the thing we should keep eyes on is the micmicking. A recent research in human's brains led by two professors Milan Kay and Simon Flex in NUS university reveals that we are easily excited after seeing or watching violent scene but the reason to kill or murder does not come from flim, but is resulted in ill-mental brain. There are many ways to cause ill-mental suffering, the most possible one is from badly treated children by their parents or who lives in with them. The whole thing can draw a perfect picture rather than a tiny spot cannot say a big drawing. So, to blame for media is indeed innocent.

To a further degree, the rate of violence and immortality is still at a high level although presidents all over the countries have tried hard to abate the harsh curve. Turn back to the ancient time, no violent film could also induce a murderer and tyrant. So, the demandatory actions do not exclude any one on earth, we should work as a whole to diminish the evil since two hands are impossible to deal but thounsands of them can be a powerful force. Problems are always existent from time to time to get rid of them is illogical but to deal with them is a nice choice after all.

Writing Feedback / How important is it to look beyond superficial appearances? [3]

In a culture obsessed with superficial appearances, our leaders should be those who can see beyond the surface. Judging a book by its cover is the job of the consumer, but reading the book-pondering its contents and perhaps seeking to write new chapters-is the job of a leader.

Assignment: How important is it to look beyond superficial appearances?

Every society do possess a lot of things to hide and reveal as well as the biological world. Take camouflage as an example of appearances. The bird tend to be deceived by the colors of poisonous butterflies and fly away for fear of being poisoned. In fact, some birds dare to eat many of them, some are dead, some are alive since the appearances cannot obstruct the truth. Now, human world are raising, indeed, misleading potent that the leaders are keeping on track with them, though sometimes get lost. Say, a cover of "Silent Spring" is nothing to do with ornate design or attractive pictures, so at first, the number of publishment were at low rate. However, there were still thoughtful reader to read up on the all chapter and comments about this book. What we need to care is that the appearances are all but deceptive. The person who can look beyond the superficial appearances is, to some extent, deserved to be praised.

The president of Singapore used to force a laws that any producer who is intentional to change the cover and context of book will be imprisoned for five years. Japanese have always respected their own artists, especially, cartoon artists since they are ones who bring soul into the pictures. Everything comes to a knot that it is not a banal person but it is the talk of a leader, to see through the bustle of political events, to open the preface and read. Book is just a case we deal with everyday situation and human being are a more complicated problem. It is hard to judge a woman who wears blue blouse and T-style earing of noble whether haughty or modest. We have to learn and it is a skill but it is not the one we practise in the lab or in test.

There is a fine line between love and hate, false and truth, belief and superstition. A well-forseen leader is one who can reveal the truth of the false, the darkness of the light and seeking a such candidate is somewhat like finding the kneedle under that vast enormous ocean. However, the present leader should find this skill useful to learn since their country needs an adept president, not a waiting one.
