Canada is coined the ‘cultural mosaic’ because of its proudly multicultural society. Each mosaic tile represents the heritage, history, and beauty of the diverse individuals who have made Canada their home. African-Canadians have certainly earned their shining place on Canada’s great mosaic through their contributions to science, literature, and art. One of the many African-Canadians whose work has resonated with me is Anderson Ruffin Abbott, a writer, journalist, activist, and the first African-Canadian born doctor.
In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.

He is a member of the Zeta Chapter at Morris Brown College. I selected him because of his story. Umzae Hosea Williams was born to blind parents. On multiple occasions he was beaten and left for dead. Yet throughout all of these setbacks, he went to college, became a remarkable man of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, and made a difference in the world as a civil rights activist. Umzae Hosea Williams has shown the qualities to persevere through whatever is thrown his way. This great man of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated organized and held a dinner for homeless men and women for over 25 years. He connects with me, because of the impact he has made. He is a man that is for the community and viewed himself about a part of the community rather than apart from it. That is someone that I aspire to be like. To give back. Also throughout my research I found that Umzae Hosea Williams did a lot of work with Dr. Martin Luther King Junior during the civil rights
“Si, Se Puede” or “Yes, You Can” helped Cesar stand up for human rights by believing anything is possible. Nelson Mandela did all he could to stop segregation in South Africa.

They impacted the world with their big efforts.
Priestley presents the characters of the Inspector and Mr Birling as complete opposites, with totally different views and attitudes towards society. Arthur Birling is a self-made businessman, who has held several political positions, but whose only aim is to increase his own importance and wealth. He is a rather pompous and selfish individual who tries to impress everyone around him, by telling them how great and successful he is. He has very capitalistic views, for he only cares about himself and his family and is unsympathetic towards anyone else. Furthermore, Mr Birling has a very high opinion of himself. In contrast, Inspector Goole is a rather symbolic character who is extremely intelligent and assertive. He is well organised and is able to take control of any situation. He is not impressed by Mr Birling’s social status, since with his socialist beliefs, he feels that everyone should be treated equally.

As Peter Drucker once said, “Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things”. An effective and successful leader has many qualities that help the audience and create positive results and outcomes. In the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo, one of the leaders of Umuofia, was very strong, cold, and he reinforced Igbo traditions and culture within the tribe. Although he had the right qualities, he was not amiable towards his people which didn’t allow him to be a good leader. In order to be an effective leader, there have to be many attributes that define how distinguished and proficient of a leader someone is, which is clearly conveyed not only through this novel, but the articles “The Difference Between
The desire to win in leadership sets a context where true beneficial aspects and lessons are learnt and taught.

Winston Churchill and Herman Boone are very similar in a few of their characteristics. As leaders, they are both very persuasive and charismatic. They are very visionary as commanders and very autocratic as well. In the movie Into The Storm, there is a clear sense of power and authority shown by Winston Churchill and it is understood that he would not easily turn from his believes although it might be a huge risk that he is taking. He showed that clearly regarding the battle that they were sending 350 thousand english troops with a chance of them not making it back, and similarly to when he refused the offer to carry talks with France and Mussolini and Hitler for peace. In the movie Remember The Titans, Herman Boone Showed similar risk taking and autocratic traits with his powerful talks and decision making in situations such as making the players spend time with the ones they do not usually associate with and trying to make the black and white skin people come together. That approach was clearly seen in Nelson Mandela’s actions in the movie Invictus. He refused to be biased towards the whites although he was aware of their doings agains the blacks and otherwise. He took a steady stand of giving them equal rights and opportunity and fought for it till the end.
