<\/a><\/p>\nWe have seen Reagan rise from an actor to President, Anold Schwarzenegger terminate his acting career to become governor, and now Michel \u201cSweet Micky\u201d Martelly has made the transition from pop star to Haitian President. The culture of presidency is changing. It no longer functions in the traditional sense.\u00a0 Politics and its leaders are no longer adhering to a rigid, fierce structure.<\/p>\n
While it might be argued that the transition from fame in the entertainment industry to political popularity is not a difficult one,\u00a0 they both requires public interest and trust. Entertainers also inevitably face a questioning of their competency and credibility.\u00a0 Were they elected because they are well liked as entertainers or do they possess the skills and education necessary to run a country and attend to the needs of the people?<\/p>\n
Although Martelly\u2019s orijins are not those of your conventional political leader, Haitians have been yearning for change.\u00a0 They have understandably lost faith in the status quo.\u00a0 They hope that \u201cSweet Micky\u201d will bring them the change they so desperately desire and are willing to break conventional norms to ensure that all possible options are explored.\u00a0 While the extent of Martelly\u2019s success is yet to be measured, the people of Haiti are hopeful that he will live up to his campaign promise and take it \u201cTet Kale<\/em>\u201d (all the way).<\/p>\n Who is Niccol\u00f2 di Bernardo dei Machiavelli?<\/strong> Niccol\u00f2 di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was an Italian philosopher, diplomat, writer and humanist in the 15th century who is also credited as one of the Orijinators of modern political science. Many leaders have followed his philosophy in ruling. Niccolo Machiavelli states “It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles. “<\/em><\/strong> Niccolo Machiavelli states “It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.” “It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved.”<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\n<\/em><\/p>\nOrijinal Question and thoughts?<\/h4>\n
\nQuestion:<\/strong><\/em>
\nMartelly’s win is credited to the masses that voted for him and not the Rich or Highly educated as he hardly approached for his campaign. The people cry for a change, they cry for jobs, they cry for education.What are the first thing that Martelly should try and tackle for Haiti?<\/p>\n
\nHaiti has and is currently going through serious times right now. Violence has always been in the center of Haiti, and even now with their current situation after the earthquake. Although they have had strong feared leaders in the past, nothing has changed from that aspect. A 47 year old woman, Patrica said “I want security. I want to walk in the street. I never voted before in my life but I voted for Martelly. To see change.” How should Martelly handle violence to bring stability? What persona should he put on to fight against violence, to be loved or to be feared?<\/p>\n
