Favorite leader in history

Julius Caesar, Napoleon or Churchill? Who is the leader we should all look up to?

This is going to start a very interesting discussion.
I want to say Che Guevara because he is much more familiar, but I would rather follow the example of Martin Luther King.
If you were asking about military leaders, then I don't have an answer because I wouldn't follow anyone to war.

Che Guevara would indeed be an interesting choice... but why would you choose him? I mean, expect from becoming a rather superficial youth icon, does he have a true legacy? Perhaps if our leaders were as handsome as he was we would all tolerate their crimes with more acceptance...
Martin Luther King's words are of course always relevant and powerful.
Hard for me to really think of one... Most of the ones I like as historical figures are not really ones I'd like to live under. I could offer Napoleon - although he ended up rather badly, he made important reforms, promoted secularity and education.

Ernesto Guevara's legacy is very much alive in the public universities of Latin America which, by the way, are much better than the private ones. Young people are still drawn to politics because of him and most of our students are politically active and opinionated.
Transforming him into a fashion icon was just an attempt to ridicule him. However, anyone with a brain can see beyond the icon and know tha man.

Dendam antara Ternate-Tidore sejak abad 16 dimana kesultanan Islam ini berinteraksi dengan dua bangsa barat (Portugis dan Spanyol) yang saling bersaing dipulau rempah (Spice Island). Dalam konteks inilah sehingga Portugis tiba di Ternate pada tahun 1512, berdasarkan keputusan Paulus Roma, sejalan dengan traktat Tordisillas 1494 antara Spanyol dan Portugis maka jalur navigasi pelayaran dari Eropa ke sebelah barat menjadi milik eksklusif Portugis. Bangsa barat yang lain dengan demikian terpaksa harus menempuh jalur palayaran yang berbeda ke negeri rempah-rempah tersebut. Keuntungan Portugis atas jalur laut dan perdagangan komoditi tersebut, mendorong kerajaan Spanyol mencari jalur laut sendiri ke arah timur (atlantik) yang pada masa itu dikenal sebagai “The Sea of Darkness” (Samudra Kegelapan). Eksploitasi inilah yang dicatat sejarah maritim dunia dalam dua hal penting yaitu penemuan benua Amerika dan perjalanan keliling dunia yang pertama.

ABSTRAK
STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN ILMU
DALAM PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT ILMU
“Paradigma Perkembangan Ilmu Pengetahuan”
Abdurrahman Kader
Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan yang demikian pesat dengan aliran yang beragam membuat penulis merasa perlu untuk melakukan suatu karya tentang bagaimana perkembangan ilmu itu dengan permasalahan yang diangkat yaitu persoalan hakekat suatu ilmu pengetahuan, perkembangan sutu teori yang khususnya adalah teori paradigma yang dikemukakan oleh Thomas Kuhn dan bagaimana perkembangan serta sumbangsi bagi perkembangan keilmuan dewasa ini.
Permasalah yang telah diangkap sehingga penulis mempunyai batasan pemikiran bahwa suatu hakekat ilmu adalah bagaimana pengetahuan itu didapatkan yang kemudian dikembangkan melalui riset atau aktivitas ilmiah sehingga menghasilkan suatu teori atau karya. Setelah menghasilkan teori maka disinilah paradigma akan berlaku karena asumsi utama dari paradigma adalah bagaimana cara pandang seseorang terhadap fenomena yang muncul dalam suatu masayarakat atau objek tertentu.
Selanjutnya dapat diuraikan bahwa perkembangan suatu ilmu pengetahuan juga tergantung pada sikap seorang ilmuwan. Untuk menjadi seorang ilmuan tentunya harus konsekuaen dengan falsafah hidupnya, baik secara intelektual maupun secara moral dan mampu membawa masyarakat menuju progesivitas yang tinggi, maka ilmuan harus menjadi suri tauladan dalam segala tindak tanduknya di tengah-tengah masyarakat

By no means did I mean to ridicule him... I was really wondering. Could you explain what makes him so attractive to young people? Is there some good source to read about his thought?

I never thought you were ridiculizing anybody. Don't get me wrong.
Well, you can totaly find him in the wikipedia, the article is very good and thorough. But if you really want to get to the sources (good for you, young padawan), this is the list of Guevara's own publications that were translated to English. If you want to take the short-cut and watch the movie "The motorcycle diaries" you will get to see the true spirit of the man but only a glimpse of the revolutionary. Now that I think of it, I'm glad you have asked. Don't be a stranger. ;)

You are great! I will definitely look into this list.
But could you say, just in a few words, what makes Che Guevara an interesting leader (to you)?

he was only admired and being followed
he did not say come and follow me, do this and that.
the question relates to this question, who do you believe the smoker who says do not smoke or the non smoker who says do not smoke?

I'm sorry, I don't understand any of your three posts. Who is "he"? And what does smoking has to do with this topic?

Guys, It is not a joke. This is a serious question
|
|

I felt that some of you believe that this question is a Joke. Smoke or non Smoke. He said follow me.
What is this, boys? You are the Future. You cannot be, so cruel with the history. These men, write or wrong were the owners of the imperium in their moment.

Ya ---i agree with you-----It is a vry well saying that "Those who forget the history, then history forget to those people" ----i.e. it does not care about such people ruining----so we should not forget the leaders whose efforts have made us reached to this high rising status-------Further more these are the studies of leader,s way of working which set the future path of a nation for prosperity----We can find what were their mistakes which one should avoid in order to have a good ,prosperous society------In Pakisatn the famous quote of Mr Chirchil is always reffered in which he had asked for prevailing Justice-----The background of this quote is that when he decided to participate in second world war the journalist asked question to Mr.Chirchil whether he had seen the all aspects/ future results of jumping into the war.Mr Chirchil asked what is the condition of courts---- He was meant whether people was getting justice in the coutrs----on receiving the positive reply he said then there is no problem to participate in war------because of this sentence he is liked by me very much--------------------( Sorryif there is any spelling mistake)
