Did Sherman have power, influence, or both?  How do you know?
How did he use or show power or influence?
Do you agree or disagree with his actions and opinions?  Why?]]> 2017-11-07 18:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/204530728 Jesús https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205132767 Well i thiink he had both, power because he was the military administrator and he used that power to make the city blossomed and influence because he made change people mind by persuadingf fathers and religion leaders. And deffinitly i don´t agrree with his actions because they used weapons. ]]> 2017-11-09 04:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205132767 Jim https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205133435 I think he had both, because he was an administrator and changed people mind. He burnt the ground and expel families to show his power. change the people mind on order to finish war to show influence. I agree his actions and opinions, because war just can hurt the own people, enrich the undertakers, and prolong the killing on either side]]> 2017-11-09 04:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205133435 Henry Yang henryyangto https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205138919 He had power. He was in charge of a conquered town and he had his own troop. He could issue his policy.

At the beginning, he though tread the conquered city kindly is the way to restore the order, so he use kindness to show the influence. He influence something in this way such as schools and stores reopened. At last, he realized this policy didn't work. He used violence to govern the city. Violence became the way he show his power and influence.

In a certain degree, I agree with him, because we cannot give up choosing violence when we govern. Leaders should have both award and violence to process effective government.                  ]]> 2017-11-09 05:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205138919 Ali https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205278844 he has both power and influence because he was in administrator and he try to use all his power to make it flourish.

He mentioned that he had a army in the third paragraph and what he did in the fifth paragraph, so he is a powerful man.
This is a high-spirited man, I can see it from each words from his article. So this is his influence to me and his people.]]> 2017-11-09 15:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205307302 Tom https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205318152 In my opinion, Sherman only have power. Because he controlled the army and destroyed the enemy's infrastructure and food sources. Soldiers must obeyed him because he is the chief of the army. 
However, his order was inhuman. Although he effectively attacked the enemy's resistance. So his orders were not convincing, could be enforced, and hadn’t second choice. I think it haven’t influence. 
He ordered the village of Randolph burnt to the ground - all save one  house. He ordered  that every boat should be fired on. Something like that.
I agree with his actions or opinions. I think that every war are cruel and inhuman. Showing the strength of the army can effectively and quickly finished the war. In my opinion, Sherman did a good choice.

Unfortunately, he used his authority to start unfinished wars where many soldiers died.

He also had an influence on people. We could see how the citizens believed him. Especially, after his safety proclamations, citizens started to build up the city and dreamed for a better life.

I disagree with his methods. Because being a leader is obviously a hard task. It requires the leader to deal with many people, citizens or soldiers, and leads them to the right path, the peaceful one, not to give them hope, then to destroy it. Consequently, he will lose his influence because of misusing his power or changing his ideology.

]]> 2017-11-10 03:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205568210 Henry Yang henryyangto https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205581313 From my perspective, I will make the same choice. In a war, violence could always be a choice or alternated choice to deal with problem. I don't mean that mass killing is a way to deal with any problems in wars. Violence is not just simple mass killing,  leaders need to make strategies which make violence effective. Also, conquered cities have many problems and to deal with the relationship with citizens, totally giving up violence is wrong. To manage people, reward and punishment should coexist.

The different thing is that it may be hard for me to make up my mind in a ruthless way like him, but I agree with him. He mentioned he burnt to the ground and just remained on house to mark the spot. Also, he function guerrillas as his men's target practice. I never thought to deal with a war in such a way, even a mass killing.]]> 2017-11-10 06:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205581313 David https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205696083 I'm agree with him because as Naomi Klein said in her book 'the Shock Doctrine' we work better under negative stimuli; he tried to be nice with people but they 'betray' him so he turns himself more evil.]]> 2017-11-10 14:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205696083 Jim https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205698937 i think i will make same choice, because peace is the best gift for citizen. the war just enrich the undertakers, so i will do same choice with General Sherman.]]> 2017-11-10 14:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205698937 If I were in his place I would make a difference thinks I will not be nice for the first time but I well not going to kill any one but I will so strike but after period I will be careful with them, and I'm going to build schools, and I'm going to try to help them as much as I can.I think if I do that to people will follow me and they will do whatever I want.I think it will be better then I'd be nice out the first time, and then the people do not to do the same what I did. https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205705149 2017-11-10 14:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/205705149 Tianci https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/206247485 I won't because I will do beast choice for me first.

The structure of power have changed. Power varies to many different spheres and it is not just limited in military and unclear as many years ago. The power in the world have become multipolar instead of bipolar. 

Author suggested soft co-optive power like culture, ideology, and institution. It could make one country get what other countries to want what it wants. Also, will encounter less resistance to its withes at the same time. Moreover, the costly exercise of coercive or hard power may be spared.]]> 2017-11-16 04:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/207519450 Jesús https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/207525534 1.- Untangible things are becoming more important than tangibles.

2. The power of all major states to gain their objectives will be diminished. Today, the distinction between power over other countries and power over outcomes must be clear.
3. More attractive way of exercising power than traditional means.
One country gets other countries to want what it wants.
Parents of teenagers have long known that if they have shaped their child's beliefs and preferences, their power will be greater and more enduring than if they rely only on active control.
Soft co-optive power is just as important as hard command power.]]> 2017-11-16 10:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/207589662 Ali https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/207682889 Power has been changing by possession of population,size,military forces and political stability.



Power was strength in war but, today the definition of power is losing it emphasis on military force and conquest that marked earlier eras.

Some trends in word politics suggest that it will be more difficult in the future for any great power to control the political environment .The problem for The USA will be less the rising challenge of anther major power than a general diffusion of power.

2) It has been changed to a new way more attractive. Is called co-optive or soft power and it is not about ordering other countries to do what a country wants if not gets other countries want what it wants.

Deterrence is the prior way to defend selves from attacking.

What are the three conditions of deterrence?  The three conditions are communicate its commitment to punish the challenger, have capability to punish an attacker, demonstrate the willing to carry out its commitment.
   
What is one reason why deterrence can fail?
Because defender does not properly signal a commitment to punish or specify the precise retaliatory action.

Deterrence is a super power that can help the someone or country get some benefit from the army or competitors who are reluctantly but haven't another better choice.

Deterrence can fail because a challenger doubts the defender's commitment, capability to punish the aggressor.

The Empty Fort Strategy is coming from an event that has happened in the Three Kingdoms period. In the war, Zhuge Lian found that the enemy was very close to the his gate. However, he also knew that he only had a small group of people the protect the gate. The enemy is very big.  In this critical moment. Zhuge Lian used the Empty Fort Strategy. He ordered all the gates to be opened. And then, he began to play chinese traditional piano on the wall. When the enemy came the the gate. The leader though Zhuge Lian did it on purpose to lure us into the city. The leader of the enemy guessed there are a lot of soldiers in the city.  Because, everyone knew that  Zhuge Lian was a brilliant person.  
In this situation, the enemy attempted to attack the Zhuge Lian ‘s city. 
Zhuge Lian deterred the enemy to defend his city.
Zhuge Lian’ s deterrence was successful. His action had a good credibility. He successfully led the enemy thinking what he want.

Since 2006, North Korea is to deter from seizing from many other countries and attempt to do a series of nuclear test ,so it generates a series of diplomatic problem.

（2）Background:
Since the 1950s, North Korea has been interested in  nuclear power. From last century, North Korea has been sending their scientists to Moscow or Europe to study nuclear power. 

(3) Explanation:
From my perspective, other countries' deterrence is not successful. Many countries including America want to stop North Korea doing unclear study and have made a lot of declaration, but the commitments are not clear and specific enough. Those declaration does't include violent solutions and just pure caution. Therefore, North Korea believe other countries will not make practical solutions.]]> 2017-11-22 14:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/209467221 Assignment #4 - A Cognitive Approach to Leadership jlwild2 https://padlet.com/jlwild2/LS12B2017/wish/210672824 Answer these questions in a short paragraph.

(2)The author discusses five types of leadership which are direct leaders, indirect leaders, ordinary leaders, innovative leaders and visionary leaders.

(3)Visionary leaders is most appealing to me. From my perspective, under fierce competition between countries, vision is very important. Those leader who is visionary can lead their people get succeed easier. For example,  Elon Musk, who is the founder of Tesla, is very visionary. Over ten years ago, there is almost no electric vehicle and people did't recognize it, because people believed that oil could provide much more energy than electric vehicle.

Actually, people want a leader which is combination of ordinary, visionary and innovative leader. 

The thing I learned is that not that much people want to fight against Trump. He do is more crazy, but people also respect his decision, try to consider the problems in their president's way, and make their country great again together.

Their views are same with mine. From my perspective, this is because this is not a era for war and countries don't have to use violence to get source and development. People prefer to get what they want through some peaceful ways like negotiation, proper competition and so on.

To begin with, the trip was so wondrous, and I learned a lot of things about the American culture. For example, when I was in Marquette university union we had asked more than three students about what kind of power did they prefer? Soft power and traditional power? 
Most of the student choose soft power because they think there is a better way to influence other people without killing or hurting anyone. What is more, they think Barack Obama is much better than  Donald Trump for more than one reason.Like Barack Obama when he uses to be the President of the United States he has the power, and he knows how to convince American people. On the other hand, Donald Trump has the ability, but he couldn't convince other people. 
In my opinion, it is not essential to have the power to convince someone.Because if the people love you, they will do everything for you like Martin Luther King he doesn't have the ability, but he changes the community, and he stops the discrimination in the USA
