1 Leading and following Most people are born with a desire to belong – to a family, a group of friends, a community, a team, a country. We tend to look to those we can agree with. While there is nothing wrong in wanting to follow other people, sometimes it is important to stop and think for yourself, to dare to ask critical questions. In fact, you might say that positive change only comes about because people dare to question certain ideas or stand up for what they believe in. So, consider this: Who do you follow, and how can you lead the way? Why do you think the girl is dressed up in this costume? Discuss with a partner. Do you remember who you wanted to be when you were a child? How do you think this photo relates to the topic of this chapter?
