Have you thought about who, how and for what motives influence the fate of mankind, and consequently, your personal? If not in principle, abstractly, but on modern examples? After all, you are faced with certain events taking place around. Who decides that this or that process should begin today? Yes, we will try to find out who a public figure is. How is he born, what gives him strength? Let's figure it out.
How to approach understanding?
It's actually not that easy to approach the question "What is a public figure?" The complexity is connected with the fact that in itself the influence of the individual is very multifaceted. On the one hand, it has an impact on society, on the other hand, it absorbs its reaction. You see, this is a non-stop process. A public figure is inextricably linked with his audience. He and the people are such a complete symbiosis that it can be called a single organism. A public figure is a creator and creationsimultaneously. He gives birth to an idea and implements it. To do this, the individual influences society. But the latter, for its part, also reacts to "pressure from outside." It gives its assessment, directs the very process of implementing the idea, thereby influencing its "creator". The public figure is in constant change and search. He is unable to stop. Such work is not just the purpose of life, but the very existence of the individual. Naturally, if he is a public figure, and not the result of a shoddy PR campaign.
The purpose of the work, or Why do they create?
It is impossible to figure out who is actually considered a public figure, if you do not delve into the essence of his creation. The fact is that any person comes into the world to create. True, not everyone thinks so. However, anyone in the allotted time (if it does not end in infancy) creates something that he is capable of. But not every creation we consider public. To fall within our definition, a work must satisfy certain conditions, so to speak. The activity that takes place in society, aimed at its development, influencing it, can be considered the one we are talking about. The point here is that the individual influences the course of history.
His ideas, the results of his work somehow affect the lives of ordinary people. Well-known public figures rooted for their work, they empathized and got angry, argued and fought. They put, as they say, their whole soul into the process. Takeany example. Here the older generation remembers Lenin or Stalin. They are widely known. Their lives were inextricably linked with the fate of the country and people. Nobody denies the scale of influence on the development of processes.
A little about real PR
In our information age, it is customary to “digitize” everything. Great public figures did not remain aloof from the process either. They were studied from various angles, sorted, analyzed and created a kind of "scheme". What for? This is a different issue. However, now we can open the book and read what characterizes a public figure. No mystery or higher inspiration remains. So, let's read. The personal qualities of public figures include: well-delivered speech, excellent memory, responsibility and neatness. Regarding the latter, I would like to cite Einstein as an example. Have you seen his photo? He does not really fit the description of a "licked" politician. However, its influence on the development of society is undeniable. And not only discoveries in the field of the theory of relativity made his name the property of mankind. At one time he was active, talked with many famous people, influenced their views.
Why study public figures?
Now back to the question of the purpose of these studies. Everything is utterly simple and cynical. They began to study great personalities in order to learn how to create them. You say that this is impossible? However, technology has come a long way now. If you know how to influence society, foresee its reaction, then you cancreate another "Fuhrer" from any layman. But there is another side of the issue, not so tough. The thing is, society is growing. In order to prevent chaos, it is necessary that individuals appear in the mass of people who are able not only to direct its development, but also to take responsibility. And she is oh so big. There are so many weapons and other means of universal destruction on the planet that any wrong step can lead to disaster. And how else to control huge crowds, if not through a respected leader? So you have to involuntarily study the technology of creating one.
Who is a public figure?
When you already understand the meaning of the definition, it is easy to find examples around you. And it is not necessary to look only at politicians, although one should not underestimate their influence. Public figures can create in the field of lawmaking or information, science or production. These are people who think about the future of the people, take responsibility for their fate on their shoulders. Public figures of Russia, for example, are engaged not only in the construction of the state. There are many cultural figures, scientists and journalists among them. Nikita Mikhalkov or Sergey Glazyev are people working in different fields. However, they influence the people, have sufficient authority to be called public figures.
If you want to be a leader
Quite briefly, let's talk about how the described creation begins. To become a public figure, it is not enough to study and master the skills that are detailed in books. Althoughcan't do without it. But the main thing is still in the soul. You need to feel in your heart a huge responsibility for the fate of society and be ready for hard, sometimes thankless work.
