Do you think communication is more important to leaders now than it was in hitler's and fdr's time? explain why you think so or why you disagree. who is a more current charismatic leader that you know of, and how are they similar to hitler or fdr in their communication style?

Communication has always been important to political leaders. The influence that some leaders can have on people might be one of the most necessary characteristics for a public figure of this kind. Leaders must have a good relationship with their followers in order to obtain their support. The power of words can influence on people’s minds since communication can be perceived as a language weapon according to the context.  

Hitler was a very insightful person since he had the great ability to persuade people’s way of perspective. He convinced the people with his ideas throughout crowded speeches in which he used to take total control of the situation. People actually believed in Hitler’s promises and even thought, if they didn’t agree him, perhaps they were scared of what he could do with the immense gained power.

According to history, Franklin Roosevelt was one the three most important United State’s presidents; he helped the USA to win the Second World War thanks to his intelligence and he was also known as some of the best American leaders.  During his speeches he always showed great confidence in himself and that is exactly what he transmited to the people.

On the other hand, a very charismatic leader nowadays is Barack Obama since he gives powerful speeches as he tends to empower isolated communities throughout kind words and full support. Besides, he shows himself as a normal human being: he is a modest person and that makes him a more accessible politician than the public figures that people always perceive. This is a plus for him since people always try to search for kind politicians and they rarely find one that fits with those values and qualities.  This is a very important characteristic that a good leader must have in order to gain popularity among citizens.
