Visual Representations Brooke McMahan

I thought both of these images accurately depicted leadership and what we learned from the Social Change Model this week. I think these two definitely relate so I wanted to explain them together. Both of these images show the idea that a leader is more than someone who is just a superior figure. A leader is someone who steps in and takes action. This idea is obvious from the meaning from the quote in the first image. In the second image, the leader is the one not in charge, but the one doing what the rest of the group is doing, but taking charge in their task. It isn't enough to sit back and watch what goes on around. This week's readings talks about what it takes to make social change happen. It talks about knowing, being, and doing. These second image especially shows the impact of knowing the needs of the movement or group, the ability to take charge, and actually going out and doing it. What I took away from this is that if you want to see a social change take place, you must go out and make it happen.
