Power and Leadership

In G10 Language Arts class, we had a conversation about power and leadership. It seems like same things, but it has a lot of different between power and leadership. Power is the ability to control people and activities by using own power. Sometimes, power can used in a good way or bad way. When you have a small amount of power can be used in a good way, but if the person gain huge amount of power, it can be used in a bad way like Osama bin laden or Adolf Hitler. The leadership is the responsibility to carry their group seriously and become a leader for that group. Most of leadership is good for the group.

The book called “Waves” shows the bad way that power used in a bad way. In this book, there is a group called “Waves”, which is very similar to Nazi. This group is made by a teacher and students act like powerful people in school.

In other book, there is a good way of power used. This book is the biography of Che Guevara. Che Guevara is the leader who gives independence for Cuba and helps Bolivia to have independence. In this biography, Che Guevara always used his power for Cuban that they can have better life. If he had a problem or conflict with other leader, he always tries to help poor people or makes better decision for them, even he is going to prison.

If I become a leader, I prefer to leader like Che Guevara, so people can follow me very well and they can memorize me.
