Final Debate

I was extremely frustrated with this debate because we kept going in circles and nothing was really ever established. The topic was very broad and we definitely needed to recognize a few points before we even started the debate and because we didn't neither side was able to argue their point very well. One point we needed to establish was what qualities a leader should have and what type of leadership role we were debating about. I was on the side that believes a women should not have to gain male characteristics to become a successful leader, however that's not entirely what i believe. The characteristics we concluded of males and females were probably statistically true, but in todays' society I believe that many women have already adopted male characteristics or have always had them and just weren't recognized for them earlier in time. I also believe that many males in todays' society show their sensitive side more than before. With that being said I have to say that I believe in order to be a great leader people need to adopt characteristics from the opposite sex. We have a mixture of all the characteristics we defined as male and female and that was the conclusion we eventually came to in class.
