Who do you influence? What is your sphere of influence? Can you broaden it to enact more social change? How? How can influence be dangerous and helpful as a leader?

As an individual, those who’ve kept in contact on social sites or in real life are those who the individual’s influences affect. There are two categories of influences that can be carried out by the websites, and that includes social websites and official websites. Social websites such as Facebook are personal profile or blogs than can be a personal tool to carry out one’s influence with statuses to friends/family. Official websites is a tool for carrying out specific purposes and targets a specific crowd that has a similar interest. I influence friends, family, and acquaintances of work/school mainly.

                To broaden the social influences, one has to sell their image and story to enact social change. It is the use of social media or the words of mouth to increase the influence of social change.

                Influences can be dangerous and helpful as a leader for it carries out the visions and purposes of each leader. Hitler’s purpose was to expand the country into an empire, but he did that by connecting Germany’s frustration to fulfill his purpose to expand the power of Germany. Through this he was the first elected dictator in history and created destruction in the future for mankind. On the other hand, it is through influences that Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. carried out their visions of equality for a better future. In the end it is through influences that propels social changes and becomes a deciding factor to help these visions to become true.
