Imagine yourself in the city of your dreams, working as the one thing you have been dreaming off your entire life. What happens if that smile of your face is simply ripped off? Imagine that you have just discovered that one mate of yours was manipulating you. He was using YOUR academic skills for his personal advantage; manipulation – quite a connotative word. You start pondering if that was his actual intention; however, you have to deal with the fact that the human mind is corrupted and can be sometimes evil. Are you alone by yourself? Lets say you are; but, due to past experiences and due to this one class during high school, you are an academically sophisticated, intellectual leader. Acting as such leader, you do not directly attack your “component”; but write about his confusing and how he misunderstood the related concept. This imaged scene has already happened; however, Mitt Romney’s “confusion”, regarding Diamond’s writings, only enriched Jared Diamond’s arguments, leaving a clearer analysis for his audience. “It is not true that my book ‘Guns, Germs and Steel,’ as Mr. Romney describes in a speech in Jerusalem, ‘basically says the physical characteristics of the land account for the differences in the success of the people that live there. There is iron ore on the land and so forth.‘ That is so different from what my book actually says that I have to doubt whether Mr. Romney read it. My focus was mostly on biological features, like plant and animal species (…) (DIAMOND, Jared).” As seen, he was a strong of a leader and was able to keep his arguments together. This skill relates to the ability of interacting to ones community and sometimes the “problems” within it; something that will be explored by the Academic Leadership advisory.
