Charismatic personalities in the 20th and 21st centuries
Abstract
The 20th century, along with the 21st, are classified in the historical periods of rapid developments in science, art and the movement of ideas, as well as the presence of great charismatic personalities in science, culture and politics.
In our work we will analyze models and theories of charismatism, we will try to identify the basic features of a charismatic personality, but also its interaction with the community. We will be referred to three categories of charismatic personalities: a charismatic leader, a charismatic scientist and a charismatic artist who, with their distinctive paths, marked modern history.
Studying their lives and their work will highlight the contribution of charismatic personalities to the modern world. Three completely different personalities, with a common interest for the community and the "common good".In our cases we note that charismatism was developed rapidly on a personal initiative.Educational systems of their time did not identify them and did not help them emerge,on the contrary in most of the cases many obstacles were created in their careers.
Several developed countries have special educational programs for charismatic individuals, but in most of the countries, educational systems "do not care" for charismatic students. In conclusion, it is imperative that in modern societies the charismatic people must be identified, by specialized teachers and receive the special education and guidance they need.Charismatic students are people with special educational needs and need different educational programs and services so that they realize the importance of their peculiarity for themselves and for our society.
Charismatism exists and charismatic students have the right to gain access to special educational programs. We are advocates of equality, but as Aristotle argued, "There is nothing more unequal than equal treatment of unequal."
