For the Stern and Kalof reading, I have learned about research definitions and terms before, but it was helpful to be reminded of the many details. My research paper for this class is an example of a retrospective case study I believe. I was able to make some naturalistic observations during the show\u2019s season, but most of my information is from the past. I cannot draw conclusions because I am not running an experiment, so I will end with a correlation.<\/p>\n
The von Rueden and van Vuaght reading was very interesting. In 102, my class focused a lot on how different leadership styles could be better suited for different situations, but large scale versus small scale was never a large of discussion. \u00adThe most basic principle is the same: leaders emerge when there is a need to solve a problem. According to this reading, this concept has been the same some basic societies began. In general, the reading says that the ideal leader is an older, stronger man. Characteristics are specific to what a certain culture values, which is interesting to me because it highlights unspoken norms and preferences. In SSS, a potential benefit to being a leader is reciprocity. This is not shared with LSS leadership incentive. This difference seems to show that SSS leadership is more personal. I wonder the different pressures that come from leading a group where so many individuals know you personally versus one that is of a very large scale.<\/p>\n
It is easy to focus on LSS leadership because those are the leaders in recent history that are most famous in Western society. It is incredibly insightful to understand how SSS conditions shaped LSS leadership. I think that SSS-type leaders still exist within LSSs. Though some might argue that a university or even a singular classroom does not count as a society, the criteria for emerging leaders may follow SSS guidelines. There are countless connections between different types of leaders. It is very interesting to think of the many reasons they emerge and succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
