People's social status always relies upon their social background, the opportunities they've had in life and the decisions they and others have made in order to allow them to ascend to the status of "leader". Consider in the video, the author of Steve Jobs' biography told us that Jobs would often steal others ideas! I don't see anything about that to suggest his leadership was natural or innate - if anything is scheming manipulative and exploitative character is reveal more than his leadership, and we might want to go on to question whether those (negative) characteristics are the outcome of his being in an individualist culture in a capitalistic society. ]]> 2016-10-28 11:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ma611/hgnpjkm2x4pd/wish/133853797 Think about lecture point 1 https://padlet.com/ma611/hgnpjkm2x4pd/wish/148707418 2017-01-23 14:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ma611/hgnpjkm2x4pd/wish/148707418
