Blog 22

Today, after the class, I was thinking about the thesis of ARP second draft. I don’t think that my thesis is totally wrong. If I change it a little bit, then it might be a strong argument which connects to a real world. My thesis was about the leader. Today, there are many kinds of groups and organizations in the world. And almost all of the groups have their leaders. However, not all of them have good leaders. In firefly episode 8 ‘Out of Gas’, the crew members were having a trouble by the explosion in the engine room. The crew members were getting scared. Then, Mal decided to sacrifice himself to save the crew members. He made the members to leave the shuttle except him. Mal tried to get help from someone but he got injured by the people who tried to steal cargoes from Serenity. However, Mal did not make them to steal the crew member’s products and make them to leave the Serenity. It was very important moment in the episode. While Mal was injured, it was really dangerous to do something with his body. However, as a leader of the Serenity, he moved his body to protect the Serenity. These days, it is not very often for the leaders in society to get injured while protecting the members of their organizations. However, the good leaders are always going with the danger when they work for the members. They take the responsibility while working with members. So, if people have their leaders who always think about them and work for them, then they are having good leaders.

  1. I agree with your argument. These days, people doesn't want to be responsible for everything as a leader. I saw a TV show, I don't really remember the title, however, one person who said she want to be a leader was eliminated by the other people for no reason. So, I think it is really hard to be a good leader.

  2. I wonder if you might be able to go a political route too, like how sometimes our leaders are blamed for the outcome of the decisions made by the former person who once held that office? Leadership can be a very scary thing and maybe the non-appreciation towards people who take on leadership roles is something to think about too.
