ADLER CHAPTER 6 RESPONSE QUESTIONS 1-4 1. The first world leader would have to be first off Obama. He lives in and comes to power in the modern American empire while embracing his relationship to both an African and Islamic diaspora. Through emigration, dispersion, the Disaporic personality and cultural entrepreneur have a connection to a homeland or broader civilization outside of the country in which we call home the United States. Barack Obama internationalizes the individuals, events, circumstances, and institutions that he engages, as he is claimed simultaneously by different communities: African, Muslim, Southeast Asian, Hawaiian, White American; Black American and all other cultural groups alike. Overall I think he is a terrific example for this question and represents a great image of a cultural entrepreneur.
The next world leader that I feel would qualify for interest in the cultural behavior would be Hilary Clinton. I feel as though she is a fitting example because she represents the whole idea behind Religious beliefs and cultural values. Lately she has been enforcing the whole concept of homosexual matters, fighting for their rights. I have seen her often on the news in conferences in the Middle East among world political leaders. Her kind of behavior lately seems too be associated with different cultures and meeting their leaders and making peace. Personally I think her behavior in cultural terms has been more professional than Obama in the sense of going out on her hands and knees and trying to solves and stand up for these different cultural issues at hand in the world today. Her behavior is one that fights back for what she believes and tries to set things straight and right. 2. In response to this question I would have to choose Mahatma Gandhi as the world’s most admired global leader. Although he is no longer alive I feel as though he and Winston Churchill have made such an impact on global ideas and cultural behavior throughout societies based upon their characteristics and attitudes toward everyone.
Mahatma Gandhi was very wise because he knew the difference between what's right and what's wrong. Another aspect that I very much admire personally is the idea that he was also very responsible for his actions.

Unlike many global leaders of today whom believe they are not responsible for their actions across cultures especially Obama in the middle east admitting he was not at fault for anything. This man was a voice of the people and made no excuses for anyone nor did he lie. He didn't give up on getting independence for all of India, and he always knew what was happening at all times and organized many protests. He respected others and never gave up without a fight. He was devoted to god and was very responsible. Gandhi stood up for what he thought was right and didn't let anyone else's opinions get in his way. He had good judgment for India and how everyone should have independence. He was honest and sincere when he gave his speeches because he felt being honest was the right thing to do. Overall these are characteristics and behaviors that are represented by one of the greatest global leaders this history has ever known, putting his people before himself. 3. I have been thinking a lot lately about my future and what direction I want to take in life and become. What purposes I am meant to fulfill for me and others. After giving much thought to the whole idea of my future, I have decided that after I attend graduate school, I was to start up my own business out west. The type of business I would be doing if my work world does not work out in the silicon valley area would be to open some kind of service to visitors of rural California and enlighten them on the knowledge I have and to teach them about the different cultural area.
My whole life I’ve been involved in many clubs, activities and sports and have always represented a form of leadership in them whether on the board or helping others. By doing so it has given me the insight to do something enjoyable with my life and work with others and teach them about new cultural idea. I love the idea of operating some sort of business in rural CA and sort of giving them tours or something to that extent and expand into a whole country wide operation. It reflects my particular cultural because the one I have been around in my area has always given me the creative and leadership mindset to better myself and help others. I’m a huge people person and want to be seen as a unique person in which I have always thought about myself. Sort of a Picasso 4. Hilary Clinton I feel would be the best fitting to the response to this question. I would have thought the Queen of England but she was born into power not elected by people. Clinton I believe represents the utmost idea behind the women’s liberation and a voice to the non-majority whether people from other cultures or beliefs or so forth. She has been so successful in her Sec of State position that she was recently polled in a ’16 presidential election as a likely candidate over like male counterparts.
She came into the spotlight as cultural diversity and behavior made a swift change amount the country and became one of the top topics of debate not to mention being the wife of former president although some believe that she may get some of her wisdom with the help of Bill. Tying in the idea to the notion of how her leadership differs from men, I feel it does considerably because she presents us or at least myself with the evidence that female role models help women perform better is compelling, and adds weight to the case for greater visibility of women in positions of seniority at work. Just this idea alone shows us how females can bring different ideas to the table on cultural behaviors and beliefs in todays society, unlike one say 40 years ago when the idea of a woman was to have her as a secretary or housewife. Overall I think she represents an awesome and powerful global leader that can voice stands up for new ways to enforce problems that may occur and bring new ideas to the table. Just goes to prove how culture is ever so changing.
