This situation could have been avoided. The article above highlighted that the outbreak first began in cattle’s during the Biden administration. By not closely monitoring the situation and focusing on other events such as the presidential election, the virus spread quickly. (5/5)
#rucrisiscom A current ongoing crisis is the rise in egg prices which have hit a record high. The U.S. has been affected by the bird flu outbreak, making the nationwide average for an egg carton to be $5. Some places have hit $10 or more. Grocery stores have less stock (1/?)
https://t.co/P5290krs0C This article discusses how state and local governments have only just recently begin to hear back from the CDC on how to proceed. The government has been focused on other sectors such as mass firings and funding freezes. (4/?)
The egg shortage has a heavy economical impact. People are spending more money on eggs, stores are changing higher prices, and even restaurants have been adjusting prices to accommodate for the costs. As this affects the entire nation, the Trump administration responded. (3/?)
Grocery stores have less stock, causing people to turn to different alternatives or simply go without eggs. According to AP News (https://t.co/ZNaRIF6uY8), around “158 million birds have been slaughtered overall since the outbreak began” (Funk, 2025). (2/?)
@mayo_tsuki Hello! Angelina Jolie is one of the first celebrities that come to mind when I think of celebrity leaders. She continues to work to help refugees, is considered the 'Godmother' of the Women For Bees initiative, is a conservationist, and even fights against sexual violence.
@IKsiazek79601 Hi Izabella, Emma is a great example of someone who is both a leader and a celebrity. She has done a lot of work as an activist and can be considered an excellent role model. I have enjoyed all of the films I have seen her in!
@puck_winter Hi! Oprah is a great example of a celebrity leader. Her career has inspired thousands of others to follow in her footsteps, and the Oprah Winfrey Foundation has helped so many individuals and families all over the world. She also helped pass the National Child Protection Act.
Actress America Ferrera makes her mark as a celebrity and activist/leader. Her work on TV & Film cemented her celebrity status as she became an inspiration for the Latina community and countless others. She made waves with her speech in "Barbie." #LIDC90

@Ashleyyy5570 Hi Ashley, social media is a great way to increase influence and persuasion. By motivating those under your leadership, you create a better environment that fits under a "Theory Y" manager category rather than a "Theory X." It allows employees to have a positive mindset.
@mahek_DCIM Hi Mahek, CEOs having a social media presence can go both positively and negatively. It makes them much more accessible to their target audience, but posting the wrong information can lead them to succumb to the "cancel culture" of today's world.
@mayo_tsuki Hi, this was a great example of the intersection between leadership and social media. Learning about "owned media" from another class, I realized how important knowing how to leverage social media is for companies.
The article says “CEOs who are active on social media are better equipped to lead companies” (Kissler, 2021). This is similar to “Leadership in the Twitterverse” where CEOs fostered a deeper connection with their audience by being active on X. #LIDC90 https://t.co/SDCK64wXnb
@ryanscooterr Hi Ryan, your quote defining leadership was a great choice. AOC definitely represent a leader who is using her platform to bring awareness to situations as a call to action.
@kkristinn_ Hi Kristin, I like the quote you chose for this assignment. Jane is a great example of this because even though she is an actress, she is making sure that she uses her voice to address circumstances bigger than her.
@haeunbang6 Hi Haeun, this is a great example of leadership. Greta’s influence has led countless others to realize how dire the climate change situation is.
Pope Francis has 18.6 million followers. Our class PPT says, “Leaders’ daily lives are defined by the necessity to quickly evaluate and compare different courses of action.” He deals with scrutiny from those who disagree with him while others look to him for guidance. #LIDC90
At the start of the year, we exchanged wishes for peace, but weapons have continued to kill and destroy. Let us pray that those who wield power over these conflicts may understand: War is in itself a crime against humanity.
