    Comments: We started off in our groups choosing the questions for the study guide. We seemed to pick questions that I think are reasonable to put on the test. Then we moved on to the subject of one of the discussion questions about what is needed in a leader and a lot of people in our group agreed that there is a need of fear and respect of equal proportions. I happened to differ in my opinion because i believe that the fear factor doesn't play THAT big of role - more on the respect side. Then, we talked about fear of our parents, and I learned that it is really based on your upbringing/parents on how you much you value their opinions in your decisions.
