Introduction
Most of the people have emerged successful in accomplishing their goals. The major
drive behind this is the social interest, reflecting the conscious approach towards the
wellbeing of others. Kind and compassionate approach towards the needs of others made
these people famous, rather a People’s leader (Pomeroy & Clark, 2015). This assignment
discusses about the personality of Abraham Lincoln in terms of social interest. In this, the
propositions of Alder have been considered.
Discussion
Abraham Lincoln was considered to be an American statesman, who served as the 16th
president of the United States. His social interest is reflected from acting as a saviour during
the American civil war. His actions comprised of the greatest morals, constitutional and
political crisis. Abraham Lincoln indulged in discussions with the common people for
gaining an insight into the shifts in the popular visual and digital imagination. This activity
helped him to map the scope and arena through which the thinking skills and judgmental
capabilities of the people venture (Clark, 2016). Being a political leader, he was concerned
about the interest of his citizens.
According to the propositions of US Christian commission, Abraham Lincoln was
considered to be ‘earnest in temper’. Conscience was the identification mark for enhancing
the personality. Affectionate nature helped him to earn respect from others. Simple and sober
nature was his primary agent in terms of cleansing his thoughts, which is needed for
enhancing the leadership skills, abilities and competencies. Mention can be made of the
arguments of Marquis de Chambrun, who considered Abraham to be ‘heroic leader”, who
struggled on behalf of the citizens (Akers, 2017).
