Based on my initial book "The Global Democratic Society", I have added and updated the content on the Chapter 2 of the book, "Great Political Leaders as Visionaries of Their Times".

This chapter focuses on the historical perspectives regarding paradigm shifts or turning points.

I have emphasized the importance of the story teller's personal perspective on the manner the information about the historical event is presented and interpreted.

At the same time, the mainstream climate of opinion regarding the event is an important factor that shapes the perspective on the event.

If the event narrated belongs to a distant past, it is important to distinguish between the prevalent perspective that characterized the given historical époque and the contemporary perspective on the story.

The more the event is distanced in time, the more the subjectivity factor intervenes and the more there is room for personal interpretation.
