What category of people do you know that is held to higher standards than others in the community? Why is that? What are the implications for what they can say or do?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should center on those categories of people that are well respected according to
that specific community (e.g., business or religious leaders, teachers, prominent families, and
government officials), and recognize that their status is a factor of community values.
Implications should center on both advantages accorded by power (wider latitude to speak their
minds/less general discipline by the community/less questioning and more trust/etc.) and
disadvantages (higher standards around particular behaviors usually related to virtue/higher
expectations for decorum in speech and action).
