Final Animal: Mother Teresa

The pigs, in the book Animal Farm, did not show leadership. I think this, because they didn’t have confidence to express themselves. They didn't show passion about their work.And they also didn’t show sympathy.Selena was a good leader, because she kept fighting for what she dreamed of. Unlike the pigs in Animal Farm, selena Quintanilla embodies the characteristics of a strong leader, because she has confidence, show symphony, and has passion for her work.

Leadership Abilities can have many characteristics and meanings to a person. I took the time to look at characteristics and success of a leader to choose just one of the many leaders to discuss. Some of the characteristics that are involved in leadership is “Responsibility, Learners, share victory, Set an Example, aren’t afraid to make mistakes, push people upward, peacemakers, adapt their thinking, sense of humor, work hard, confident, promote unity, action-oriented, do the right thing, integrity, encourage, persevere, and courageous” (James River Church, 2017). One Leader that shows these characteristics is Mother Teresa.

A leader works with their team and communicate. A leader is strong and courageous. They work with their employers or followers. They set goals and have visions and missions. They are ambitious and not bullheaded just because they are in charge. I think Harriet Tubman was a good leader because she was strong and she knew what she wanted. Even though she was illiterate for the most part of her life, she never let that stop her. She freed herself and freed 300 other slaves along with her, created the Underground Railroad, and was the first recorded African- American to serve in the military. I mean we can’t even even wrap our heads around what she went through. We complain about the smallest things when she had narcolepsy and complained not once. I mean she had no education and a chronic sleep disorder and freed 300 people. We have an education with no type of disorder, so we seriously have no right to complain about

In doing this she gave love and respect to the poor individuals who needed it. Mother Teresa slowly expanded the educational work throughout the world, at one point running nine elementary schools in Calcutta. They also opened a home for orphans and abandoned children in India. Mother Teresa is, therefore, a wonderful example of a person giving respect and she is also a person this entire community can admire, as she truly did live a life that respected and honoured Christ. Like Christ, she showed respect for all people, no matter what their story was, and always maintained their dignity and gave them respect. Conservatives within the Catholic Church use Mother Teresa as a symbol of traditional religious values that they felt lacking in their churches. Mother Teresa is an amazing inspiration and universally respected to people all over the world, even after her death, her legacy still carries on to this day. Orphanages, schools, and shelters have been placed in honour of her selfless acts. Mother Teresa witnessed her nuns ministering to Jesus and realised the difference that she had made among others. People everywhere, regardless of race, gender, and age can be a part of something special just as Mother Teresa was. Whether it is something small such as donating clothes, or volunteering at a soup kitchen, or something big such as traveling to a third world country to do

Saint Teresa has many qualities to admire and emulate. Even though she may have struggled with her faith, in the beginning, her devotion to God stayed true till the end. She encountered problems at every turn, but she fought for what she believed was right. She trusted in Jesus, knowing that the path ahead of her would cost many sacrifices. God stood by her side through may of her obstacles. Teresa of Jesus is a great example of the Catholic I aspire to become. As Teresa wrote in Interior Castle, “God's will is that no bounds should be set to His

While examining the literature review regarding the strategies to tackle obesity in the African-American women, theories such as self-efficacy theory, self-determination theory, self-efficacy theory and health promotion model (HPM) have been utilized by various researchers. Nola Pender's HPM was used by Parra-Medina (2011), in a study to find out the way in which comprehensive interventions enhanced women’s leisure time physical activity and dietary fat intake, highlighting a replicable model to help primary care providers to implement lifestyle counseling. Fisher and Kridli (2014) conducted a study among obese African-American females and used the self-efficacy theory to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and motivation while performing

A leader is anyone who uses interpersonal skills to influence others to accomplish a specific goal (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, worked on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Her enthusiasm for her work at the United Nations was rooted in her humanitarian convictions and her steady faith in human dignity and worth. With modesty, Eleanor considered her position on the Commission to be one of ambassador for the common people. Her sensible approach, optimism and energy allowed the smooth facilitation of meetings (Eleanor Roosevelt Biography, 1998). Not actually seeing herself as a leader, Eleanor preferred to work as part of a team, not like a boss. She followed her passion of making positive changes in people’s lives and knew

Another trait that makes great leader is honesty. A leader should be honest with the people he governs. In Animal Farm, the pigs were never honest with the other animals, resulting in a failed governing system. The pigs were continually changing the original 7 commandments to better suit their own needs. Squealer was even seen “at the foot of the end wall of the big barn, where the Seven Commandments were written [and] there lay a ladder broken in two pieces” but the others were not smart enough to realize what was going on (Orwell 108).

Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises is a story set in Paris, France shortly after World War I. The main character, Jake Barnes, is a veteran of the war. While serving, he suffered from an injury and is now impotent. This has many effects on his life, influencing his opinion of himself and his relationships with those around him.

When I think of great people who have helped others worldwide, many people come into my thoughts. However, one person stands out from the rest for me: Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was a very influential person who went above her call of duty by helping people and forming the Missionaries of Charity.

Although Animal Farm does not have any heroic characters, in the story there is a death of a supporting character. The death of a supporting character neither glorifies nor diminishes the supporting character to anything more or less significant. All characters, whether they are the major characters or even a minor, supporting character, they all do not have a complete story. There are no completely round characters in literature. Characters die; characters exist, simply for the sake of the plot, not so that the reader would know the life story of each and every character.

What defines a leader? A leader defined by the Oxford dictionary is something or someone that leads. To really know what a leader is I believe we have to go a littler deeper than that. A true leader can change the world. Real leaders can turn followers into leaders of their own. I believe that Mary Robinson is one of the most transformational leaders of all time. Though her rise to Presidency was unexpected, it was perhaps not surprising, given Robinson’s self narrative (Shamir, Dayan-Horesh, & Adler, 2005). From her time at Trinity working on human rights, to her being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Mary Robinson has taught us all how to be a better leader, and what we can do to make a change.

Teresa's standing does not consist in what she tells us about herself but in what she tells us about God and his ways with us. Her life and her accomplishments have earned her many labels, reformer, author, foundress, doctor of the church and saint and these, together with her persona have made her one of the great women of all ages. She was born, bred and lived during the most harrowing period in the history of Roman Catholicism, the age of Reformation and Counter-Reformation. When Teresa was possibly two in 1517, somewhere in the north of Germany, a man by the name of Martin Luther was calling for reform in the Catholic Church. At that time, nobody would have guessed or known that this two year old would one day contribute to turn the tides of the Catholic Reformation, pointing the way from outer chaos to inner peace.

There are many people in this world that we consider great humanitarians. Mother Teresa was a unique individual that stood out of the crowd because of her involvement in helping the sick, poor and dying. She spent everyday of her adulthood caring for people that were in need by setting up the Missionary of Charity along with many homes for the people she cared for. Mother Teresa won many awards throughout her lifetime for her dedication to care for people in need. It is no wonder that Mother Teresa won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and is considered a saint.

Mother Teresa was born in Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia. By 18 she was already serving others as a nun. Later she left with permission to serve the poorest of the poor in Calcutta with nothing to give but her love. She did not care that she was doing it alone with no funds- she just wanted to love them and be there for them. She was so inspiring that people began to fund her work and to come as volunteers. She served till the end and still influences people today.. Her life was the definition of heroism, her life was service and she gave her all to the poor of Calcutta and other poverty stricken areas. She loved all who came to her with an open heart. And that is what made her the hero she is and was- still touching others with the story of her life
