...political system. She would also represent the FDJ in her secondary years as a member of the group’s district board. Political Life With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Merkel stepped into a full-time role in politics, becoming the deputy spokesperson for the Lothar de Maiziere pre-unification government. Post-reunification, she herself was elected to the Bundestag as a representative of her East German district, Stralsund-Nordvorpommern-Rugen, which she would represent until her ascendancy to the Chancellorship. From that point, she served in ministerial positions, including Minister for Women and Youth and Minister for the Environment and Nuclear Safety. During this time, she was taken into the mentorship of Chancellor Helmut Kohl. After Kohl’s defeat in the general election of 1998, Merkel moved on to a position as Secretary-General in her party, the Christian Democratic Union. During her tenure, she significantly expanded the influence and purchase of her party...

...Lee Daniels “The Butler” This is sort of the story of Eugene Allen, an African-American who was a butler at the White House from 1952 to 1986. During his period in office, he served presidents from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan. In Lee Daniels’ The Butler Allen’s fictionalized substitute is Cecil Gaines who is played by actor, director, and producer Forest Whitaker, who leaves his burdened Southern life behind to start a new life in working in our nation’s capital. Much to the delight of his wife, Gloria, who is played by the media owner (OWN), talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey, and the exasperation of his activist son, Louis who is played by the actor and producer David Oyelowo, Cecil’s attentiveness to the needs of the civic elite while working at the hotel earns him a job at the presidential mansion. It’s there that he spends several decades, observing as people of power deal with questions of war abroad and civil rights at home. Daniels’ film uses the unique perspective of a White House butler as a jumping-off point to explore questions of race in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Lee Daniels “The Butler” has some accuracies based on Eugene Allen’s life and there are also some inaccuracies that is true about Cecil Gaines life that is not true about Eugene Allen’s life. Born on July 14, 1919, in Scottsville, Virginia, he died in 2010 and had a movie made some what about his life in 2013. With the time that he was born it was a very horrific time...

...The skills approach focuses on the ability to use one’s knowledge and competencies to accomplish a set of goals and objectives. In terms of these competencies, the skills approach identifies three particular competencies that are related to strong leadership which include: technical skills, human skills, and conceptual skills. In terms of these competencies, Angela Merkel has demonstrated strong qualities, made influential decisions, been elected through a public election process, and received numerous accolades that indicate she has a high level of proficiency and effectiveness in all three aforementioned competencies associated with the skills approach. The leadership competency of technical skill can be defined as the knowledge about and proficiency in a specific type of work or activity, and involve a hand-on activity with a basic product or process within an organization (Northouse, pg 44). In terms of politics, the technical skills necessary involves knowledge of foreign policy, an ability to effectively negotiate with other leaders and unions, and also an ability to enact effective policies for the area one governs. Angela Merkel is a prime example of the skills approach in relation to technical skills because of the fact that her successful tenure as the Chancellor of Germany was precluded by a late involvement in politics. As was previously mentioned, Chancellor Merkel did not become involved in any kind of politics until the age of 36. Thus, she had to learn and acquire...

...Tiffany Prill Challenges of Leadership Leadership Book Analysis Modern World Leaders- Angela Merkel The person chosen for this leadership report is Angela Merkel. I read “Modern World Leaders-Angela Merkel” written by Clifford W. Mills. Being born in Berlin, with my pride in being German, as well as being a female with my own leadership ambitions, I felt Angela Merkel was a perfect fit for me. Gaining knowledge on the leadership style from one of the most powerful and influential women in the world, while also learning the values and beliefs my country is grounded on, I find Angela Merkel to be extremely interesting leader to study. Angela Merkel (born Angela Dorothea Kasner), was born in Hamburg, Germany on July 17, 1954. Angela was raised in East Germany where she later received Associates degree in 1973. Shortly after, she enrolled to the Karl Marx University where she later met and married Ulrich Merkel.She graduates with a bachelor and continues onto her PhD in Science at the Central institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin. By 1986 she received her PhD which is also the same year she goes back to West Germany for the first time since she was baby. It was the many years in West Germany, full of communism and hardships, that taught Merkel how strong and powerful government could be. Merkel was determined to use power to serve the people not use it to control them. Rather than telling them what they wanted hear, she told them what to...

...This dissertation will discuss Angela Merkel’s Leadership style and ethics during the Euro crisis. It will also compare Angela Merkel’s leadership style to servant leadership style. It will also describe how servant leadership may or may not change the outcomes of the Euro crisis. In the closure of the dissertation, I will discuss my own leadership philosophy. Angela Merkel Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany. Last fall, she was elected to her third term as chancellor of Germany, making her one of the only two European Union leaders that survived the economic crisis (The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel was named by Forbes in 2014 as the most powerful women in the world (Forbes, 2014). Angela Merkel’s leadership style is pragmatic and methodical (The Guardian, 2013). Anne Applebaum (2013) states “She reigns. She doesn’t tell people what to do, she doesn’t give orders, and she isn’t bossy or pushy. She doesn’t throw Germany’s weight around or make demands. She simply sets parameters, and then lets everybody else make ‘choices’ themselves.” Merkel’s leadership style is prudent, democratic, and modest. Merkel prefers discussion, deliberation and consensus (Zeeb, 2013). The Germans call her “Mutti” (mummy), because she understands what her country wants and makes sure her country gets it (Zeeb, 2013 & The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel is a no nonsense leader that is well respected. Merkel and the Euro Debt Crisis The European sovereign debt crisis...

...Thank you for allowing me to read your essay. I feel that I know you after reading it, in fact I felt that we had sat down over a coffee and had a chat. I felt throughout reading it that you were exploring your personal experiences and what you had learnt about yourself through the years. I enjoyed your anecdotes that give strength to your reasons on why you feel this area of your work is a strength. I enjoyed how you discussed your previous work career and all its perks and how this all lead from personal experience into a new career path for you. This showed how much passion really is important to you and something that should be valued in the care community. I would like to note that I did not feel that I knew your personal strength until half way through the essay. I felt that you needed to identify this in your introduction . Maybe add it to your first statement: Making my career switch recently…that I possess strengths such as my passion for my work. Not sure how you would like to word it, just that it is needed in the introduction. I feel you may also benefit from splitting your introduction around the area that you state : However, I never truly felt I had strength or ability in any of it. I feel that this could be your first paragraph, see how you feel I just think it will make it a stronger essay. It would need to be slightly re worded such as : Working in corporate management I never felt like I had any strengths (i would leave out abilities). I found...

...This article was first published on Salon, a website that has an audience favoring liberals more than conservatives. This article also has an audience of a younger generation that follows hit movies. Garett Reppenhagen served as a Cavalry Scout Sniper with the 1st Infantry Division in the US Army, and is also a veteran advocate and social justice organizer. Garett’s background has a lot of relevance to this topic. I would say he is credible towards this whole subject. He is qualified to make judgment and criticize the way this movie is trying to depict Iraq. Garett’s extrinsic ethos is that he has served in the military. He has made a profession of being a real life sniper so he knows most of the scenarios that go on in the movie. He could also describe what goes on as you enter a war zone and how each and every person reacts. Garett states, "But viewing the war only through his eyes gives us too narrow frame." I believe this quote shows he cares about the audience because he wants to share that the frame of Iraq is not narrow, in fact it is on the contrary. Iraq is full of hospitality, proud history, and old-soul wisdom. This quote also shows virtue and goodness because he does not make the mistake of thinking the Iraqi’s are savages, like the movie may portray. Practical wisdom is also shown in this quote because without it Garett would not know that Chris Kyle’s views are narrow, but instead they should be broad and more flexible. The tone of this particular article is straightforward...

...After reading the article, I remember the Carr's essay on Google. Both of essays are talking about the disadvantage of the technology. This article is totally talk about the disadvantages of having a conversation through technology instead of a face to face conservation. It is the same idea with the Carr's essay which talk about when people are reading more than they used to and they aren't reading to retain the information. Also when they read online, they tend to become 'mere decoders of information." For me,I am agree with the Marche's findings. In the article Marche says people who spend their time on devices and social network sights are finding themselves lacking in the ability to communicate in person. That's is right because although we might have has many friends on Facebook we might not really know them and just have them there for show. And when we talk about each other are you good or bad is just from the social media. This is a totally different feeling with face to face. Also the examples the Marche take in the essay is very correct and have a strong persuasion. So I say Facebook have a huge impact on people which is negative. Someone say if the social media made us so lonely, why it is still so popular among the people. As I say it's just because it is easy to use and it is easy for us to see the people far away. Whatever you are, we can connect with each other fast and...

...almost the same, funny and at the same time keeping a serious tone underneath, sexism seems also to be a common point for these two author it seems to be the center of pretty much everything they’re talking about. Stereotype in the both essay as been pointed out and the authors seems to take people to that point where they are convicted enough to stop doing that thing which is stereotype not only that but they uses different other article to point to point that and say what think about it, for example, Ronald Macaulay; in his essay “Sex difference” uses novel and different other article to point the stereotype but not only that he also argues about it just as Rachel Rafelman in her essay “Party Line” uses interviews that she makes or other colleague Article to pointed that out and talk about it or argue about it, both author stick with the same idea that lead us to conclude that they are both talking about the same subject but just in two different environment, for example Rafelman in her essay she is at A Gala and Macaulay is just using Article, novel, journal to talk about the subject . In these essays the authors tone is what we can describe as having two side, funny and serious at the same time the reason why I am saying this is because in the essay the author are using it to keep use entertain and at the same time call upon our attention on the subjection or the point that they are making, like for example when she says; “…but for the women to do the same it would be breathtaking...
