Political Analysis Part One The result of the Advocates for Self-Government Survey places my ideological leaning at the center, implying that I am a centrist. That is, I am neither a liberalist nor a conservative.  Centrists prefer middle ground conserving the control of the government towards the economy and individual behavior. Depending on the issue, centralists sometimes support government intervention and sometimes favor individual freedom of choice. They also pride themselves on having an open mind, tend to criticize political extremes and focus on practical solutions to problems.  Therefore, I believe that this quiz accurately measured my ideological leanings to the center because I often support a balance if a degree of social equality and social hierarchy, while opposing political changes that can lead to a significant shift in ideas to either the right or the left. Nearly all the features of centrism, such as open-mindedness, independence, and ability to oppose political extremes, define my character. As such, I strongly agree that the result of the Advocates for Self-Government quiz accurately measured my ideological leaning. Part Two I selected chapter…

Thread 1 (14) Leadership is excellent, but being a leader is a sacrifice. Considering the leaders who we have studied, it took them selflessness to fight for the citizens. Fighting existing adverse trends of leadership may lead to rejection, but it’s incredible how great leaders touch the hearts of the public and get mobilization. Some leaders faced government opposition to the level of imprisonment but still stood firm on their decisions on fighting for whatever is suitable for the people. I have learned that good leaders always hold on a little bit longer, no matter what the hard the challenges may become. The anatomy of leading minds consists of leaders who suffered for the sake of the public. A good leader stays focused on achieving the set goals. A leader cannot help people without a struggle. Leadership needs tough people with clear objectives to avoid distractions and overcome possible barriers. Thread 2 It was interesting to learn about free traits throughout the week. The way people can hide their habits all along will stay in my mind for a long…
