TLDR: It will be better for everyone if we all stood instead of walked on escalators, but human beings don’t always do the most logical thing.

I found this hilarious but interesting. Leadership is not just earned by degrees or certificates (LOL) but through experiences. Have an open mind and explore. You can be a leader in any field when you are first a good follower.

Looking at this picture , you would think he is a man of the people. However his people suffer from famine and disease while his country continues its military expansion. Communication and propoganda is important for dictators and keeps their image of power intact. However as leaders we should always look at communications using our critical thinking skills.

This is important to know in our class as we live in an ever growing global village.

As we have been talking about community engagement in class this was a near perfect example of how to get different members in the community together for the same goal. Feminism is often crtitised for supporting the white working female only, however the Edmonton march was a refreshing take. The organisers were highly intentional in their plans for the march by inviting key leaders representing diverse groups, such as  political female leaders, minority female leaders  and Indigenous female leaders. The organiser’s took into consideration the intersectionality of feminism and this was a great driver in bringing out the Edmontonian community for the march.
