Blog Post #1

"In our first two weeks, you have read two articles, seen several videos and been engaged in several discussions related to the concept of academic leadership. At this point, and in your own words, what does the concept mean to you? What subjects or interests do you have a sophisticated, intellectual understanding of that you may want to turn into a major academic project in this class? How do people sometimes abuse academic knowledge to manipulate others? How would you feel if someone used your work to manipulate others (as Jared Diamond claims Mitt Romney has)? How can creating academically sophisticated, intellectual leaders help prevent such people from taking advantage of others the way they do? How can this create a stronger democratic society?" 

In the first two week, I have seen some video and article and discussed with each other. I think concept of academic leadership is to guide and help to make academic success. It is also help and guide of new technology in 21th century.

I interested about technology such as computer programming and may want to turn into a major academic project in this class.

People abuse academic knowledge to manipulate others sometimes like Mitt Romney. If someone used my work to manipulate others, Then I will feel angry.

I think to create academically sophisticated, intellectual leaders help prevent such people from taking advantage of others the way they do. In addition, It can create a stronger democratic society. Because It makes a everyone successful and makes a democratic society.
