ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - LEADERSHIP


Nowadays people have to develop their skills or tactics that can open up their road to success and to be a good leader. They are many factors that can contribute to a good leadership. So, if you are not a good leader naturally, don't worry, you can learn it.

One of those factors of a good leadership is communication. Communication is one of the most key elements, because if you are a good communicator, you can express your ideas and thoughts in a convincing way. And as a consequence, you can persuade people to fulfill their different goals and dreams. Therefore, good communication skills need to be learned effectively.

Nevertheless motivation is another variable that plays into a good leadership. People tend to give the best of their selves when there is a lot of motivation. People can be motivated by different forces such as beliefs, values, interests, fear, and worthy causes. Some of those forces are internal, such as needs, interests, and beliefs. Others are external, such as danger, the environment, or pressure from a loved one. A person's motivation is a combination of desire and energy directed at achieving a goal. Influencing someone's motivation means getting them to want to do what you know must be done.

On the other hand, in almost every situation where you are in a group, you need a skilled leader. Groups without leaders or with a weak leader tend to break down. Hence, leaders have to know the skills that theirs teamwork have, recognized them and use the potential to their benefit.

To sum up, leadership is an ability that some people have. Nevertheless, you can learn how to be a good leader, if you want it. You can take different training courses, you can develop different skills and techniques to improve a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader like good communication, motivation and learn how to work in teamwork. Without those characteristics you can't be a good leader, and therefore, you can't persuade people to achieve goals and dreams.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY - MOBILE PHONES

Nowadays all people use mobile phones. Some people buy them thinking in all the advantages, but ignoring the risks. Mobile phones changed the world. As we live in a consumption society, we like to spend and spend money, and sometimes, we don’t think in disadvantages and risks.

Publicity is the main channel for the cell phone companies to sell. For example advertising show mobile phone promotions on the TV and young people watch it and download very expensive things like wallpapers, sound and games. Even if they know that they don’t need all these things, they want them, because they want to be cool.

Nevertheless mobile phones are very practical when you have an emergency call; because you don’t have to wait until you get home to use the phone or you don’t have to arrive in a store to use the phone. With your cell phone you can call in anywhere place. Although many people use others functions of the cell phones like clock, games and sometimes a MP3 player. So when you are in a bus and you have to wait for a long time, you can play games or listen to music.

And regrettable some people don’t think in this way, because they only think in the advantages. They only think that they are the only and the best way to communicate with the other people.
