#22 Bad morals but still good leaders

I think that it is possible for a person to be a good leader but have bad morals, it just depends on what those bad morals are, and what they are leading.

#21 Lance Armstrong

He has done more good than bad.. no one was hurt by what he did wrong except for himself. Hero .

#20 leadership-y



How a movement is made, and a leader created.

#19 The Road To Me To We

A) Tim's Story- This should be a movie. It was good that he took a second from being an asshole and actually saw that he could improve peoples lives. I feel as if it wasnt for him doing so, he would not have accepted his vision loss and would be miserable for the rest of his life.

B) Rain In Kenya- We have talked about Kenya in leadership before, and how it is one of the poorest but happiest places in the world. This story is just an inside look of the lives of the truely happy people who do whatever they can for each other with what little they have. It arises a question, why do we, in a first world country, fail to share all or even a little of what we have with one another?

C) Surviving Surviver- Not all that sure on what to think of this story. I think it relates back to media when we learned about the Chilian Miners and how they were unable to be famous, they just could not live that lifestyle. I think the Surviver is the same way, he could not handle the ritches so he turned to rags.

#18 Me to We - 10%

I think it shows the true morals of the 10% and of the 90%. Kind of interesting actually.

#17 Amanda Todd

This story is a prime example of the harshness and viciousness of society. Her story is very sad, just as any other suicide story. The reason it is so publicized, talked about, and specialized is the sheer fact that this girl reached out for help publicly and suffered even more turmoil because of it which pushed her to take her life. The hate groups and immortality of people who mock her death is indescribable, there is no word i could possible attach the reach the full extent of disgust that i feel towards these ignorant actions. Things like this really make me lose hope in humanity. Overall suicide is such a terrible thing, and bullying is most definitely a contributing factor. It all comes down to why do people, and society have to be so cruel and coldhearted?
