Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say three or four percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.
Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.

Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.

RS 4: Point of View From a Lobbyist



Lobbyist Jimmy Williams
America is a nation that is trying to make its way out of the hole it once dug itself into. The podcast “A Former Lobbyist Tells All” is about a former lobbyist Jimmy Williams and how America is attacking the loop holes to keep money from exchanging hands. Former Lobbyist Jimmy Williams is a famous lobbyist of Washington D.C. called the National Association of Realtors which allowed him to see to see further in-depth of the laws.



                The government law makers have been going to fundraisers for years! As a matter of fact 400 fundraisers is a common number where they are accepting $35,000 on average, to create bills in favor of the fundraiser. Also, the most common is the relators which gather by the thousands in Washington, D.C for a week to subject bills. Take for example flood insurance. When this was brought up in the podcast the relator lobbyist himself chuckled because it is ridiculous. The houses are being destroyed simply because of the location of the land and every year or two they are getting new homes.

            Jimmy Williams is unaccepting of these loop wholes which are created. He claims to dodge calls from men in congress which are making the laws. It was something that these lobbyists had to do because the congress men are making money just like the lobbyist. What considers a solution is that the United States Constitution must add a new law in which it prohibits money from politics. I cannot agree any more with this statement because these two parties are a prime example of making choices but acquisition is costly. This is illegal and needs to be reprimanded.
