James Barber Presents An Intriguing Method Into Uncovering

Barack Obama has the intelligence to gather information and solve problems. The Personality Profile of President Barack Obama: Leadership Implications (2016) found that he uses mediation instead of coercion to avoid unnecessary conflicts (Ecoggins, 2016). Therefore, the decisions can be made in a peaceful way and reduce some unnecessary conflicts.

The President is a special position with special powers especially the US president. My initial wonder has always been why would someone run for the president of a country and what actually made someone like President Obama run for the presidency of the US. Even though none of this week’s reading focused on that. Nevertheless, there were interesting dimensions to the readings on the topic.

Many would agree that being the President of the United States of America is not only one of the toughest positions one can hold; it is also the most nerve-wracking position one can have. Simultaneously, the president has many responsibilities, and often receive the blame for anything that occurs during their term. History always offer insights into a president’s second term. If there is one thing we know, we know that second presidential terms habitually do not turn out pleasant. The reason being is that most second-term presidents suffer from a lethal infection known as the “second-term curse” which is the result of scandals, financial declines, ostracized wars, and many other supplementary hitches. Presidents Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush are examples of some presidents who faced that curse.

“Being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or he is swallowed.” (Truman) Not only is being a President of the United States important it is also very challenging. The President must be a very thoughtful and intelligent person and at the same time be a symbol of national leadership upholding their role as the Head of state; in making sure to lead the executive branch of government, The Chief Executive; giving him the responsibility to enforce acts of congress in signing treaties, and the judgments of federal courts, etc. Not only is it hard being the president it’s a whole nother level just to be qualified to run

“Presidents may be active or passive in terms of the effort invested in their jobs; they also may be positive or negative about their positions (Maltese, 164). In regards with President Bill Clinton and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, James Barber identifies them as an “Active-positive”. Active-positives display personal growth and stability, which they take pleasure in their job and the challenges they face with power productivity to pursue their objectives. Also, they pragmatic political figures that possess flexibility in their pursuit of achieving their goals and are willing to alter or abolishing their goals rather than experience severe consequences (Maltese, 164).

President Barack Obama, in his Inaugural speech for presidency, honestly discusses his acknowledgment of the U.S. economic crisis. Obama’s motive is to not only promise that the American life would get better, but to ensure that things were going to change. Throughout Obama’s powerful speech, Obama appeals to ethos, logos, pathos, diction, and allusion. He adapts a serious and promising tone throughout his speech to the American people as he delivers his engaging Inaugural speech. Obama’s appearance through ethos puts him on the same level as the audience.

In America, one of the most important characteristics regarding this country would be the way people perceive our nation’s leaders, such as the president. Ideally, it would be beneficial to American citizens that the nation’s leader be perceived in a positive light with accompanying characteristics such as strong, intelligent, caring, motivated, likeable, experienced, etc. It is evident, however, that different people hold different views about each individual president. This is because humans are capable of forming impressions of other individuals without ever meeting them based on the behaviors, choices, and mannerisms of that other person. In fact, to observe various psychological phenomena that influence social perception in this world,

Although many skills and traits are inborn into an individual; life events, the environment, and climate do influence an individual motive. Adapting to a newer situation can have an individual partake either in a negative, or positive transition. However, personality constantly changes and it’s up to that individual to make their decision. Social interest is a major factor in President Obama personality development, especially, when volunteering with for no acknowledgment or pecuniary return. An example occurred in 1985, Obama worked on the Developing Communities Project at Chicago group, which he tried to empower the poor through grass roots organization. President did anything he could do to benefits others, especially a large society. Amongst many public figures, the plat-form President Obama created stands out a great deal. President Obama theoretical perspective is best related to the conflict theory. The conflict theory explains the social division amongst our society. Ultimately, he tried to create a separation between the higher class and lower class, nonetheless, according to his idea those with more resources exercise negative power by the use of power struggle results. These power struggles can be involved with class, race, and gender. President Obama shows compensate when being able balance time with being the chief of command and managing his family. He is mindful

The 2015 State of the Union address focused on an overview of President Obama’s successes, rather than the typical laundry list of policies that the President wishes to address. That laundry list was mentioned, but not in such an extent as normal. Obama began the speech by asking the nation, “Who do we want to become in the next fifteen years?” (Obama) setting the stage for a barrage of personal stories, facts about Obama’s previous policies, and examples of the President’s idea of important values that must be considered going forward. The most important component of his speech was spread throughout, the general informality of the speech. It shows that Obama is removing himself from the modern idea of the President as a power-player within

Power, and the people who possess it have an impact that spreads everywhere. There are people with power all around, whether it be the local mayor or the Prime Minister of Germany. The subculture I chose to investigate is not local but is probably the most easily identified individual with power in the United States of America. This ethnography studies the President of the United States and the other presidents who came before. The President of the United States is the most influential person in America and arguably the entire world.This paper will discuss what type of people have been president. I will also go into what the President does with his power and notable things that the other presidents have done with their power.

In our country, the position we notice more is the President. When being presented in news outlets, the topic of the article that catches everyone’s attention is the President. The President’s role is evident compared to the Vice President. Moreover, during the election process the people cared more about what the views of the new President would be. However, the Vice President’s role is essential when the current President is unable to fulfill their tasks. As a result they’d take control over the current affairs the President was dealing with.

There are four types of presidential character: active-positive, active-negative, passive-positive, and passive-negative. Active-positive is adaptive. They are self-confident and flexible. They emphasize the “rational mastery” of his environment, and they use power as a means to achieve beneficial results. Active-negative is compulsive. Power is a mean to self-realization. He has low self-esteem and is highly driven. Passive-positive is compliant. They seek to be loved and are easily manipulated. They are superficially optimistic. Passive-negative is withdrawn. They respond with a sense of duty and avoid power. They avoid conflict and uncertainty. They also emphasize principles and

President Barack Obama has been in politics for much his adult life. He was first elected as president in 2008 and won a second term in 2012. He has also held the position of State Senator for Illinois, taught as a lecturer as well as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, and practiced as civil rights lawyer before that. With his vast experience in this industry he clearly possesses the traits of technical skills, leadership effectiveness and achievement, and ability to communicate. Other traits that he possess are courage, compassion, integrity, emotionally balanced, critical thinker, decisiveness, collaboration, visionary, aloof, task motivation and application, and willingness to listen. Some of Obamaʻs primary traits are

Everyone has their own ideal image for the President of the United States of America. The current US president, Barack Obama, was first elected in 2008 and reelected in 2012 for two consecutive terms. There were citizens who favored him, and there were some citizens who did not. The article, “I miss Barack Obama,” give the reader an author’s opinion of President Obama. After witnessing the current presidential candidate debates, David Brooks, the author, said he is going to miss President Obama a lot. He thinks President Obama possesses all the “good traits of character and leadership” a president should have such as “integrity, humanity, good manners and elegance”, which we take for granted (Brooks). I agree with Brooks’ opinion toward President

In former U.S. President Barack Obama’s memoir, “Dreams from my Father,” he explains his background and key events that happened in his life that helped shape him be the leader he is today. From the first day he entered the public sphere, Barack Obama has been a lightning rod for criticism and derision. Much of that derision has come as a result of the former president’s background. Some have disputed the legitimacy of his background and others have accused him of being either an atheism or a Muslim. While Barack Obama’s life has been dissected and has often been the subject of unfair treatment by his political opponents and the public at large, his background uniquely qualified him to be the president of the United States and continues to
