8
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:24,122
PROFESSOR: What does
leadership mean to you guys?

9
00:00:24,122 --> 00:00:26,418
Anything in particular?

10
00:00:26,418 --> 00:00:28,425
Yes?

11
00:00:28,425 --> 00:00:31,646
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]
this one person who's high

12
00:00:31,646 --> 00:00:35,680
above everyone else, but to me
it's someone who guides you.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,469
[INAUDIBLE]

14
00:00:38,469 --> 00:00:40,010
PROFESSOR: So your
ides of leadership

15
00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:43,433
is mentoring, helping
you find your own way?

16
00:00:43,433 --> 00:00:44,140
OK.

17
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:44,770
What about you?

18
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:48,490
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] teaches
others about themselves.

19
00:00:48,490 --> 00:00:51,136
PROFESSOR: So to become more
than what you are right now?

20
00:00:51,136 --> 00:00:51,636
OK.

21
00:00:56,850 --> 00:01:00,239
Who do you feel is a
leader in your lives?

22
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:00,810
Teachers?

23
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:02,560
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]
Your battery's dead.

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,040
PROFESSOR: Oh, OK.

25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,310
Oh, well.

26
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:06,100
Parents?

27
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:07,080
Parents lead?

28
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,335
How do your parents lead you?

29
00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:10,810
AUDIENCE: They try to
guide you and direct

30
00:01:10,810 --> 00:01:12,542
you to try to
determine what's right

31
00:01:12,542 --> 00:01:14,770
and what's wrong
in your own sense.

32
00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:16,952
And parents try to help
you see for yourself

33
00:01:16,952 --> 00:01:18,368
what's right in problems.

34
00:01:18,368 --> 00:01:20,256
PROFESSOR: OK.

35
00:01:20,256 --> 00:01:23,530
Do you always necessarily
take that advice?

36
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:24,030
No.

37
00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:25,302
[LAUGHING]

38
00:01:25,302 --> 00:01:26,510
In one ear and out the other.

39
00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:27,410
[LAUGHING]

40
00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:30,130
AUDIENCE: Often
the thing they say

41
00:01:30,130 --> 00:01:33,780
is the opposite of what
is the right thing to do.

42
00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:35,250
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

43
00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:36,014
I agree with that.

44
00:01:36,014 --> 00:01:37,950
PROFESSOR: OK.

45
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:42,190
AUDIENCE: I found
that firsthand.

46
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:43,650
PROFESSOR: You said you agree.

47
00:01:43,650 --> 00:01:45,137
In what way do you agree?

48
00:01:45,137 --> 00:01:46,239
AUDIENCE: Hm?

49
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:47,780
PROFESSOR: In which
way do you agree?

50
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:49,190
AUDIENCE: Oh, what do you mean?

51
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:51,231
PROFESSOR: You said you
agreed with him with what

52
00:01:51,231 --> 00:01:54,236
he said, so expand upon that.

53
00:01:54,236 --> 00:01:54,777
AUDIENCE: Oh.

54
00:01:57,410 --> 00:02:01,280
Sometimes parents will
create role models

55
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,530
and they help with
guiding your behavior

56
00:02:03,530 --> 00:02:09,699
and creating morals
and sometimes not

57
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:11,480
the best intentions.

58
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,290
AUDIENCE: Basically,
parents they

59
00:02:13,290 --> 00:02:15,740
think because they tell
you what you should do,

60
00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:17,910
but they don't improvise
if you do this,

61
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:19,420
this is what's going to happen.

62
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:21,340
They tell you the
basics of it, but they

63
00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:22,570
don't give extra details.

64
00:02:22,570 --> 00:02:26,250
So we're always lurking to see
extra detail, like, oh, well,

65
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,880
if I do this, what
happens if I don't?

66
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,780
And they tell you, but
then again it's like, well,

67
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:33,650
can I change that?

68
00:02:33,650 --> 00:02:34,854
Do I have to do it?

69
00:02:34,854 --> 00:02:36,520
AUDIENCE: It's like
a point in your life

70
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,870
where you know that somewhat
your parents' advise is wrong

71
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:42,819
and you shouldn't take it
and some if it's right.

72
00:02:42,819 --> 00:02:44,256
PROFESSOR: OK.

73
00:02:44,256 --> 00:02:46,765
AUDIENCE: Parents be too
old-fashioned sometimes.

74
00:02:46,765 --> 00:02:48,390
PROFESSOR: It's a
different generation.

75
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:51,430
It's inevitable.

76
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:54,710
AUDIENCE: I was talking
about this Friday

77
00:02:54,710 --> 00:03:02,960
with the generation gap is that
they were a lot less tolerant

78
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,400
and that's what led
to racial tensions,

79
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,960
gender tensions, sexual
orientation tensions.

80
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,670
AUDIENCE: I think with
children our opinions are

81
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:19,805
you can mold them, but
you don't judge people

82
00:03:19,805 --> 00:03:21,220
just because we're young.

83
00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:29,214
But the parents they already
have their views of our world

84
00:03:29,214 --> 00:03:36,370
and they want to tell you
what they think and we're

85
00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:38,890
very impressionable at
this age, so we kind of

86
00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:40,618
take on their views.

87
00:03:40,618 --> 00:03:43,372
[INAUDIBLE]

88
00:03:43,372 --> 00:03:45,730
AUDIENCE: Well, I think
that parents are usually

89
00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:46,555
always right.

90
00:03:46,555 --> 00:03:48,186
You don't think
they're right and you

91
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:50,810
want to do the opposite of what
they say because you don't want

92
00:03:50,810 --> 00:03:53,393
someone telling you what to do,
but in the end they are right.

93
00:03:53,393 --> 00:03:54,860
PROFESSOR: I agree.

94
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:57,789
Your parents ultimately have
good intentions, usually.

95
00:03:57,789 --> 00:04:00,330
AUDIENCE: But the road to hell
is paved with good intentions.

96
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:01,288
PROFESSOR: That's true.

97
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,500
Guys, want to call
on yourselves?

98
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,030
I'm just here to give ideas.

99
00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:11,970
Anyone have anything to say?

100
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:15,496
Where else do you find
leaders in your community?

101
00:04:15,496 --> 00:04:17,462
Are leaders necessarily
role models?

102
00:04:17,462 --> 00:04:19,045
AUDIENCE: When you
look in the mirror.

103
00:04:19,045 --> 00:04:20,230
PROFESSOR: When you
look in the mirror?

104
00:04:20,230 --> 00:04:21,010
Yourself?

105
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:22,014
You're your own leader?

106
00:04:22,014 --> 00:04:24,858
AUDIENCE: Mm-hm.

107
00:04:24,858 --> 00:04:25,810
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

108
00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:27,130
PROFESSOR: OK.

109
00:04:27,130 --> 00:04:28,990
So where in newspapers?

110
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:31,830
AUDIENCE: Most people who
write [INAUDIBLE] at stuff,

111
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:34,255
they have to have some
influence over other people

112
00:04:34,255 --> 00:04:35,127
because [INAUDIBLE].

113
00:04:35,127 --> 00:04:35,710
PROFESSOR: OK.

114
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:41,530
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

115
00:04:41,530 --> 00:04:42,890
AUDIENCE: And teachers.

116
00:04:42,890 --> 00:04:46,630
Because some teachers teach
us what we need to know.

117
00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:49,248
Though they all
tend to be biased.

118
00:04:49,248 --> 00:04:53,240
No one can help it
if they [INAUDIBLE]..

119
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,056
PROFESSOR: I'm sorry,
what's your name?

120
00:04:55,056 --> 00:04:56,284
AUDIENCE: Sara.

121
00:04:56,284 --> 00:04:57,825
PROFESSOR: You want
to move up, Sara?

122
00:04:57,825 --> 00:04:58,741
AUDIENCE: No, it's OK.

123
00:04:58,741 --> 00:04:59,340
I'm good.

124
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:01,321
PROFESSOR: OK.

125
00:05:01,321 --> 00:05:04,063
Do you have anything to say?

126
00:05:04,063 --> 00:05:07,183
Who's your role
model, [INAUDIBLE]??

127
00:05:07,183 --> 00:05:09,155
Who do you aspire to?

128
00:05:09,155 --> 00:05:11,620
AUDIENCE: I don't know.

129
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:13,146
PROFESSOR: Yeah.

130
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:14,994
AUDIENCE: I think
the one thing is,

131
00:05:14,994 --> 00:05:17,596
we aspire to be someone
in our subconscious

132
00:05:17,596 --> 00:05:20,760
and we don't really
know who it is,

133
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,965
but we're reflecting
all different sorts

134
00:05:22,965 --> 00:05:24,433
of people instead of just one.

135
00:05:24,433 --> 00:05:25,016
PROFESSOR: OK.

136
00:05:25,016 --> 00:05:28,346
So you take pieces of
different personalities

137
00:05:28,346 --> 00:05:29,720
and combine them
into this person

138
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,148
want to become, kind of idea?

139
00:05:32,148 --> 00:05:37,010
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

140
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:39,728
PROFESSOR: What
about politicians?

141
00:05:39,728 --> 00:05:42,020
Are they good leaders?

142
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:43,301
AUDIENCE: No.

143
00:05:43,301 --> 00:05:43,800
[LAUGHING]

144
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,792
PROFESSOR: No?

145
00:05:44,792 --> 00:05:46,250
AUDIENCE: I think
scientists should

146
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:47,854
be leaders, not politicians.

147
00:05:47,854 --> 00:05:49,270
PROFESSOR: Scientists
are leaders.

148
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:50,812
AUDIENCE: They think
more rationally.

149
00:05:50,812 --> 00:05:52,895
PROFESSOR: So what do you
mean by leaders when you

150
00:05:52,895 --> 00:05:54,690
say scientists aren't leaders?

151
00:05:54,690 --> 00:05:56,610
AUDIENCE: I say
they could be better

152
00:05:56,610 --> 00:05:58,630
leaders than politicians.

153
00:05:58,630 --> 00:06:01,935
They don't necessarily have
the communication skills.

154
00:06:01,935 --> 00:06:04,720
Not all of them.

155
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,375
They think more rationally.

156
00:06:07,375 --> 00:06:09,750
PROFESSOR: Can some scientists
be leaders in their field,

157
00:06:09,750 --> 00:06:10,920
though?

158
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,280
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

159
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,180
PROFESSOR: So you mean
as societal leaders?

160
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:16,040
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

161
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,260
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE] logical
thinking to be leaders.

162
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:20,670
PROFESSOR: So expand on that.

163
00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:23,016
What kind of other
skills do you need?

164
00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:27,150
AUDIENCE: Well, scientists
are more so left brain

165
00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:31,030
than right brain, so they can
appeal to things with numbers.

166
00:06:31,030 --> 00:06:33,212
But we need to appeal
to emotions and thought

167
00:06:33,212 --> 00:06:36,365
and [INAUDIBLE] English
to effectively communicate

168
00:06:36,365 --> 00:06:38,790
with people and know
that [INAUDIBLE]

169
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:39,867
feel the way they do.

170
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:40,450
PROFESSOR: OK.

171
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:48,560
AUDIENCE: You have to be
charismatic [INAUDIBLE]

172
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,117
and to be able to tell a bunch
of things without consulting.

173
00:06:53,117 --> 00:06:53,825
PROFESSOR: Right.

174
00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:01,880
You were saying?

175
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,780
AUDIENCE: We should have
all lawyers as presidents.

176
00:07:04,780 --> 00:07:06,960
PROFESSOR: All
lawyers as presidents.

177
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,090
[LAUGHING] That
could be dangerous.

178
00:07:11,090 --> 00:07:13,910
AUDIENCE: The last ten
presidents were lawyers.

179
00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:16,285
Something has to change.

180
00:07:16,285 --> 00:07:19,690
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

181
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:29,490
AUDIENCE: There are lawyers
who defend people that really

182
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:36,740
are criminals and they try to
set him free on the smallest

183
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:38,480
technicality.

184
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,770
So they're putting
criminals back on the street

185
00:07:42,770 --> 00:07:48,065
and causing more problems.

186
00:07:48,065 --> 00:07:51,059
AUDIENCE: It's
actually their choice

187
00:07:51,059 --> 00:07:53,055
because they were
hired by the person.

188
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:53,840
AUDIENCE: Unless
they're appointed.

189
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,766
AUDIENCE: But some
people, like prosecutors,

190
00:07:55,766 --> 00:07:56,974
is what you're talking about.

191
00:07:56,974 --> 00:08:01,260
But they say, OK, well they
hired me so I must defend them.

192
00:08:01,260 --> 00:08:02,725
PROFESSOR: You see
it as their job?

193
00:08:02,725 --> 00:08:03,350
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

194
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:06,905
I mean, that's your job and
you have personal feelings,

195
00:08:06,905 --> 00:08:09,280
but sometimes you have to keep
your personal feelings out

196
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,860
of your work space.

197
00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:14,670
After working [INAUDIBLE] you
don't want to work with them.

198
00:08:14,670 --> 00:08:17,270
But at the end they do pay
you, so that is your job.

199
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:20,522
If you didn't want to
defend someone that's bad,

200
00:08:20,522 --> 00:08:22,730
then why did you take that
job if you didn't like it.

201
00:08:27,565 --> 00:08:29,356
AUDIENCE: I don't think
lawyers should be--

202
00:08:29,356 --> 00:08:30,308
[LAUGHING]

203
00:08:30,308 --> 00:08:33,059
--leaders though,
but [INAUDIBLE]..

204
00:08:33,059 --> 00:08:38,570
PROFESSOR: I think
it's dangerous to put

205
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:40,970
one label on a group of people
because there are always

206
00:08:40,970 --> 00:08:42,254
exceptions.

207
00:08:42,254 --> 00:08:44,670
AUDIENCE: Should get a lawyer
who thinks like a scientist,

208
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:47,760
but acts like a lawyer
at the same time.

209
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,760
AUDIENCE: A lawyer who
thinks like a politician,

210
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,670
but acts like a scientist.

211
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:51,125
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

212
00:08:51,125 --> 00:08:51,580
That's what I meant.

213
00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:52,490
PROFESSOR: OK.

214
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:55,307
So we have school life,
who are your leaders?

215
00:08:55,307 --> 00:08:57,692
Your teachers, right?

216
00:08:57,692 --> 00:08:59,059
No?

217
00:08:59,059 --> 00:08:59,600
AUDIENCE: No.

218
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,407
I would never follow directions.

219
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:02,740
AUDIENCE: How about our friends?

220
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:04,668
AUDIENCE: Nope.

221
00:09:04,668 --> 00:09:08,494
PROFESSOR: Do you have friends
that particularly lead a group?

222
00:09:08,494 --> 00:09:09,660
AUDIENCE: In certain events.

223
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:15,440
If you needed help
on work ethics,

224
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,200
then you go to one friend.

225
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,610
They could direct you when you
need help in math or whatever.

226
00:09:20,610 --> 00:09:23,689
But when it comes to having fun
or you have an activity to do

227
00:09:23,689 --> 00:09:24,730
they'll help you on that.

228
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:28,850
And there's different friends,
they show their strength

229
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:31,566
in different sections.

230
00:09:31,566 --> 00:09:32,691
PROFESSOR: Different areas?

231
00:09:32,691 --> 00:09:33,316
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

232
00:09:33,316 --> 00:09:34,679
Different areas.

233
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,316
AUDIENCE: When it comes
to meeting between kids

234
00:09:37,316 --> 00:09:39,649
our age it means the difference
between saying no to fun

235
00:09:39,649 --> 00:09:42,134
and saying yes when
there's work to do.

236
00:09:42,134 --> 00:09:44,122
PROFESSOR: OK.

237
00:09:44,122 --> 00:09:47,700
Can you think of someone
your age who's a leader?

238
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:48,750
Someone you know?

239
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:55,808
Like music artists can
also be leaders, right?

240
00:09:58,730 --> 00:10:03,600
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

241
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,192
AUDIENCE: If
there's someone new,

242
00:10:05,192 --> 00:10:07,782
someone who's had an idea
that's so different that

243
00:10:07,782 --> 00:10:19,165
it's [INAUDIBLE] they could
lead the age of something else

244
00:10:19,165 --> 00:10:22,098
instead of just--

245
00:10:22,098 --> 00:10:23,590
AUDIENCE: You mean
starting an era?

246
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:24,214
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

247
00:10:24,214 --> 00:10:25,414
AUDIENCE: OK.

248
00:10:25,414 --> 00:10:29,350
I get what you mean.

249
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:31,595
I think music right
now is hilarious

250
00:10:31,595 --> 00:10:34,270
because little kids
have Hannah Montana.

251
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:36,190
Some people might
like Hannah Montana,

252
00:10:36,190 --> 00:10:39,920
but there is always controversy
with certain artists

253
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,075
between different people.

254
00:10:41,075 --> 00:10:43,820
Like, oh, I like her
and then I like her.

255
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:46,510
And then at our age we have
so many different genres

256
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:48,890
of music now.

257
00:10:48,890 --> 00:10:52,505
So it's hard to pick
one or two people

258
00:10:52,505 --> 00:10:55,220
that you think could change
something because everyone

259
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:57,730
seems to change now.

260
00:10:57,730 --> 00:11:00,695
PROFESSOR: So you said
musicians are bad leaders.

261
00:11:00,695 --> 00:11:01,320
AUDIENCE: Some.

262
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,580
Like, [INAUDIBLE]
is a good leader.

263
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:09,370
[INAUDIBLE]

264
00:11:09,370 --> 00:11:12,110
PROFESSOR: So what's that
definition of a leader, though?

265
00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:15,270
Like, are they leading music or
are you talking about leading

266
00:11:15,270 --> 00:11:17,155
general life, though, right?

267
00:11:17,155 --> 00:11:17,780
AUDIENCE: Both.

268
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:20,030
Inspiring people
through their music.

269
00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:20,750
PROFESSOR: Inspire
people through music.

270
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:22,916
AUDIENCE: They say the same
thing about the Beatles.

271
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:25,150
AUDIENCE: Music's had a
huge impact on the world.

272
00:11:25,150 --> 00:11:26,090
PROFESSOR: Right.

273
00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:28,070
AUDIENCE: It's the only think
the world can connect on,

274
00:11:28,070 --> 00:11:28,736
beats and stuff.

275
00:11:31,621 --> 00:11:33,870
AUDIENCE: And musicians can
convey any sort of message

276
00:11:33,870 --> 00:11:36,840
through their songs.

277
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,305
[INAUDIBLE]

278
00:11:40,305 --> 00:11:41,790
PROFESSOR: OK.

279
00:11:41,790 --> 00:11:43,275
AUDIENCE: Lil' Wayne.

280
00:11:43,275 --> 00:11:47,702
PROFESSOR: [LAUGHING]
So when I say a word

281
00:11:47,702 --> 00:11:48,910
leader, what do you think of?

282
00:11:54,090 --> 00:11:57,170
AUDIENCE: I reflect on
my past camp experience.

283
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:07,095
I was in an LIT program and
we were working with kids

284
00:12:07,095 --> 00:12:08,660
with learning disabilities.

285
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:16,340
PROFESSOR: If you had to
pick one leader you know,

286
00:12:16,340 --> 00:12:18,740
who would it be?

287
00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:20,200
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

288
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,590
PROFESSOR: Anywhere.

289
00:12:22,590 --> 00:12:25,560
One person that exemplifies all
qualities a leader should have.

290
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:26,824
AUDIENCE: Lil' Wayne.

291
00:12:26,824 --> 00:12:27,740
PROFESSOR: Lil' Wayne?

292
00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:28,600
[LAUGHING] Next.

293
00:12:34,450 --> 00:12:37,680
AUDIENCE: Right now
they're all dead, deceased.

294
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,650
PROFESSOR: Any person?

295
00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:40,961
AUDIENCE: I'm OK.

296
00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:41,710
PROFESSOR: I'm OK.

297
00:12:46,372 --> 00:12:47,330
AUDIENCE: Your parents.

298
00:12:47,330 --> 00:12:49,038
PROFESSOR: Your parents
are your leaders?

299
00:12:49,038 --> 00:12:50,614
OK.

300
00:12:50,614 --> 00:12:53,262
Any other thoughts?

301
00:12:53,262 --> 00:12:53,970
AUDIENCE: My mom.

302
00:12:53,970 --> 00:12:55,290
PROFESSOR: Your mom?

303
00:12:55,290 --> 00:13:00,548
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

304
00:13:00,548 --> 00:13:02,272
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]
religious leader.

305
00:13:02,272 --> 00:13:02,980
PROFESSOR: Right.

306
00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:03,850
A religious leader.

307
00:13:08,323 --> 00:13:09,790
AUDIENCE: Do they
have to be alive?

308
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:11,790
PROFESSOR: No, not necessarily.

309
00:13:19,690 --> 00:13:28,690
So-- let's talk about
why you guys are here.

310
00:13:28,690 --> 00:13:31,281
What do you want
to gain from LTI?

311
00:13:31,281 --> 00:13:32,156
AUDIENCE: Confidence.

312
00:13:32,156 --> 00:13:33,500
PROFESSOR: Confidence?

313
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:37,180
So let's say leaders are
here and you're here, right?

314
00:13:37,180 --> 00:13:39,304
You want to get
up to their level.

315
00:13:39,304 --> 00:13:40,720
You want to become
leaders, right?

316
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,480
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

317
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360
PROFESSOR: In which ways do
you think you want to change?

318
00:13:47,853 --> 00:13:51,350
AUDIENCE: Better understanding
what people need.

319
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:53,748
PROFESSOR: So how to interact
with people or skills too?

320
00:13:56,676 --> 00:14:00,580
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]
an audience.

321
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:02,487
And not be in the audience.

322
00:14:02,487 --> 00:14:04,070
AUDIENCE: An ability
to speak out when

323
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:07,000
there's an awkward silence.

324
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
To lead, initiate
a conversation.

325
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,718
PROFESSOR: OK.

326
00:14:12,718 --> 00:14:14,593
AUDIENCE: Gaining respect
from a large group.

327
00:14:14,593 --> 00:14:15,176
PROFESSOR: OK.

328
00:14:19,884 --> 00:14:21,327
Any other thoughts?

329
00:14:23,955 --> 00:14:26,810
AUDIENCE: I want to share a time
when we went on a field trip

330
00:14:26,810 --> 00:14:28,420
to the state house.

331
00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:33,920
We were in the [INAUDIBLE]
but they were doing

332
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480
a debate on the death penalty.

333
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,491
And one girl was
standing up speaking

334
00:14:39,491 --> 00:14:44,203
and when another guy said
he wanted to interrupt her

335
00:14:44,203 --> 00:14:46,214
and she's like,
no, sit back down.

336
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,184
[INAUDIBLE]

337
00:14:52,184 --> 00:14:53,054
PROFESSOR: Yeah.

338
00:14:53,054 --> 00:14:54,554
AUDIENCE: That's a
lot of confidence

339
00:14:54,554 --> 00:14:56,450
to be able to say
that to someone.

340
00:14:56,450 --> 00:15:00,217
[INAUDIBLE]

341
00:15:00,217 --> 00:15:02,300
PROFESSOR: So you guys all
want to become leaders.

342
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:03,924
What do you guys want
to do as leaders?

343
00:15:07,608 --> 00:15:10,860
Is there anything you want
to change about the world?

344
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:13,400
In your small communities?

345
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,300
In your life?

346
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:21,500
AUDIENCE: In our town
it's a very small farmland

347
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:22,400
[INAUDIBLE].

348
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,700
When people [INAUDIBLE] they
don't really know anything.

349
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:27,500
They just know what's here.

350
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,900
They don't really
go into the world.

351
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:31,400
I kind of want to
open their eyes.

352
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,600
PROFESSOR: Open their eyes?

353
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,700
[INAUDIBLE] Open their eyes.

354
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,000
Anything else?

355
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,000
We've had a good
discussion here.

356
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,850
[LAUGHING]
