Leaders are like that

Write ten adjectives to describe the qualities you think a leader should have.
-Leaderous (haha)
-Amazing
-Intelligent
-Not-stephen-harper
-*insert something about cocaine* (Rob Ford)
-Understanding
-Honest
-Homourous (we need this)
-Adaptable
-Aware

    Using the ideas from the first part, construct a paragraph or two describing the ideal leader. What special qualities should a leader have? What should a leader be able to do for others? What kinds of rules or laws should a leader make?

A Leader should be someone who knows what they're doing, can adapt strategies to current events, and have good social skills. A Leader should be someone who can sit down an entire crowd and talk to them without losing their interest. A leader should be someone who is honest with the people they're leading. A Leader should be someone who understands the people's ways, needs, and wants. A leader should be sensible about how far his rules go.

Traditionally speaking

how each came about

My family doesn't really have any traditions at all. If there were, obviously they haven't stuck around.
Does making your children do chores count? My parents are pretty effective at that one.
 
  how each tradition is carried out

Example: Washing dishes
-Await being yelled at to do the dishes
-Spend as much time as possible not doing the dishes
-Hand wash each and every one of them, wondering how four people use so many cups in one day
-Await to be yelled at the next day for not cleaning them properly (or something like that)
-you dun good

Taking a Stand

Make a list of at least five opinions you hold concerning the elderly. For example: they should receive free medical benefits.

1 they should receive free health care/benefits
2 they should receive discounts on prescription drugs
3 they should be physically fit
4 they should be treated respectfully
5 they should be living in a good place

    Choose one of the opinions from above, that you strongly believe. Make a list of reasons why you support it. Next, list as many reasons as you can why someone might not support it. Use the ideas in your lists to develop a paragraph or two. Present evidence to support your position, and at the same time, try to refute the opposing arguments.

I strongly believe that the elderly should be physically fit. It would prevent many deaths or injuries related to not being physically fit. It would also aid them in their old age to be able to do things they otherwise couldn't if they weren't fit enough. And a two-hundred pound grandma of pure muscle would be pretty intimidating.
