Leader's Upbringing

The leaders in the blog before this had very interesting lives before stepping into office. Vladimar Putin in my opinion is a pretty awesome guy, I mean he's got a comic book character named after him. More importantly, what's strange about Putin is that his family has no record of ancestors besides his grandfather. He had a couple of horrible deaths in his family like his grandmother and his uncle's disappearance at war. One thing that might influence his presidential decisions is that he was involved in KBG as an intelligence officer. This might have taught Putin ways of protecting his country and being interconnected with others. Next we have Merkel, the first female chancellor of Germany in all of its history. Merkel was very educated and serious about her studies which might help in her office. A good education can better your decisions, especially if they are for an entire country. Prime Minister David Cameron is a descendant of King William IV which might have prepared him for his role in office. Living the royal upbringing could have prepared David for the prestige position for running the United Kingdom. Somethings that also probably helped him achieve his position along the way were his Honor Degrees in Politics, Philosophy, & Economics. Hollande's promises in his campaign look out for not only the upper class of the country, but the lower classes as well. Hollande had an experience of being a commoner at one point so he understands what it's like for those people. He took office considering all people of his country no matter how much they had. Dilma Rousseff is one tough cookie I will tell you that. Before stepping into Brazil's office, she joined the resistance movement against the military dictatorship and was arrested for it. While incarcerated, she was not only beat, but tortured and assaulted. I think this horrible experience taught her to tough it out and see where that takes you. I think she would be able to lead her country through very hard times with her persistence and determination. Bashar Al-Assad said he learned his awful ways of killing his own people from his dear father. When his father was in office and there was a religious issue in the country, he killed many civilians. I think it was either this or Bashar's brother's death that drove him to be such and aggressive leader to his people. Akinito is a very intelligent leader which is very essential for the country of Japan. When Akinito was a child, he was separated from his parents and was raised by chamberlains and tutors. I think this could lead him to make good decisions in office because he knows more about the world around him. Xi Jinping, the president of the country of China, is a working man you could call it. This humble leader once worked for other big leader figures as secretaries. I think he learned a lot from these great leaders he worked for and carried what he learned over into his own leadership. Shimon Peres in my opinion is one well rounded man with many accomplishments. He was head of Israel's Naval Services which shows he knows how to run his people and protect them from any harm. He was elected Israel's Parliament which I think showed him the ropes of the whole operation. Also, the man was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize! This definitely shows how great of a person Peres is and how well he can guide his country. Pranab Mukherjee is also another well educated leader which helps guide them in the right direction for their country. He has a degree in Political Science and taught the subject as well, which I think also shows good people skills. All these leaders have experienced something in their life that makes them who they are as leaders today. Good or bad it's important to see that they are people too not just a person who controls the government, but a person who knows what the world is truly like.
