what I have done during our lessons in social studies is learn about leadership and government.
what is government - what do government do
What is government? Well during our lessons in social studies I've learnt about the government. Government is the term used to describe the system of rules used to run a community and the people who make and administer those decisions of those rules.
With the booklet given to us to use, read and understand I had to identify why I think larger communities need more complex government than smaller ones need.
To be honest in my opinion that because there are more regulations and restrictions it often cost more money.
For what do governments do we had to read the paragraphs in the booklet and we needed to answer the questions in the best ability we can, by reading the paragraphs I have learnt that the government have 3 key powers which are
Executive. The power to make decisions.
Legislative. The power to make laws.
Judicial. The power to interpret laws.( to decide what they mean and how they are intended to work ).
I think good leadership involves being a good team worker, a leader who is open minded to certain situations, knows how to take control of the moment and lead his or her team. Leadership lies in guiding others to succeed in ensuring that everyone is performing at their best and doing the work they are given to do and doing it well.
By following the rules and doing what's right you can be a role model to those around you and you can guide them to the right path.
Someone I look up to as a leader would be my dad.
I look up to him as a leader because he's hard working and always has a positive attitude, he's always helping around wherever he is and he is respectful and polite.
When we're out on a kaupapa he likes to help around and clean up. He likes to guide me and others to make sure we are doing the right things. In kaupapa waka he's always on the side of people, he's always there to support and help correct people when they're making mistakes, he would help demonstrate and guide them to do the right thing, the right way. My dad shows leadership by being humble, confident, a good communicator, helpful and friendly.
