Answer:

A good leader basically needs to care about their citizens and needs to communicate well with others. The basis for whether or not a leader is going to do what is right for the people of their country is whether or not they care for them. Leaders also need to be able to communicate well with others. Leaders need to communicate with those below them in order to know how and what they need to lead others on. A leader needs to be able to not only work well with people below them, but also with other leaders around them. A leader that cannot work well with others will run into conflict. A corrupt leader is usually power hungry and are too impulsive. Someone who is power hungry is likely to do whatever is possible to get ahead, even if it is not good for others. Someone who is too impulsive could possibly make a decision without thinking that could harm others.

As an American citizen, one has many freedoms that others may not have. In the Bill of Rights the Founding Fathers gave us many basic rights that we all have. We are able to have the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and free press. I do not believe that Americans have too much freedom, because we receive basic rights that all people should have. Having the ability to have free press and free speech we can speak and believe what we want within reason without being punished. Without the basic rights or freedoms we receive we would be limited in what we can think and speak about. The ability to have these rights are what make our country so great and what makes people want to live in our country.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

A positive life change can still evoke stress because any change that requires one to adjust to a new situation or surrounding can be a source of stress. For example, most would consider a marriage or the birth of a child to be a positive life change.
