I thought the Harvey piece was very interesting because I had never related storytelling to leadership before. The more I read, the more I understood that the way the past is presented effects how the present is seen. One example that came to my head is how presidents compare former presidents to themselves. If President Trump claims that Obama’s actions and policies harmed the country and had negative effects, it makes him look better and makes people believe that his actions are much better for everybody. I also thought about how certain races tell different stories of the past in order to justify their actions. The Turkish government not acknowledging that the Armenian Genocide took place saves them thee ridicule of those actions.<\/p>\n
To counter these stories and histories, Dr. Bezio’s piece reflected the importance of looking beyond the story itself. Determining who is telling the story, who is listening, when it is being told, etc is equally important. Hence, the moral of a story in the 1600’s would probably be different than the moral of stories today. These pieces made me think about how many stories I know and wonder if they also carried false narratives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
