Despite being a critical failure and not exactly a large hit with the fans of the videogame series on which it was based, 2007's Hitman actually made a decent amount of money, and at one point there were plans to create a sequel to it. Those eventually fell through, and it looked as though the six people on the planet who wanted another Hitman movie were going to be disappointed. But then it was decided that a reboot would take place instead. Now we have Hitman: Agent 47, which is, indeed, a reboot, although I don't think it really matters, given that the only plot that anyone can even remember from the first one was that there is a guy, named 47, who is also a hitman.
Prior to reading Tuesdays with Morrie, my only knowledge of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) was that it is a progressive, debilitative disease with no known cure, it took the life of professional baseball player Lou Gehrig, and a video campaign called the Ice Bucket Challenge, used to promote awareness and raise money for research went viral last year. What I did not realize was just how quickly the disease can progress and how severely it physically devastates those who suffer with it. Ultimately, however, I found this book to be less about gaining a better understanding of ALS and more about learning valuable lessons on how to deal with life’s challenges, burdens, and responsibilities. Through this book, Professor Morrie Schwartz teaches

The rise in popularity of violent games has been the subject of many a debate as to whether this fuels violent crime. Games such as Grand Theft Auto take the player into a violent underworld. This fuels anxieties of how relationships in the real and virtual world are perceived. (Crime; Global and Local, chapter 3, p.101). The possibility to take on a different virtual identity has become a way of depicting social harm and criminal activity. The characters in these games are often stereotypes, ethnic minority gang members and drug dealers. In this way the gaming industry reinforces
One of the biggest games of all time that go on the fairy tale ride is Grand Theft Auto. GTA has been one of the best-selling and most controversial games ever made Kids from all ages play it with many adults advocating for its ban. I have played and enjoyed this game myself over the years with friends and random people on the internet.

Sure, you have to do some questionable things along the way but at the end of the day there has been no proof to link this game to the real-world violence and crimes.

ou make your point very clear and give great information from the textbook to support it. I agree with you that it should be conceptualized as a behavior. You are right that traits are considered to be antecedent conditions, as Northouse (2016) explains "As in any leadership situation, the qualities and disposition of the leader influence the servant leadership process. Individuals bring their own traits and ideas about leading to leadership situations." (pg. 232), this means that while traits are part of a leader, the characteristics that make a servant leader come from behaviors that are learned and change throughout life. For example, servant leaders have a strong moral behavior, it is not a trait, but something that is learned and change
