Steve Jobs (Part 2)
From the second portion of the movie, more of Steve Jobs's character was revealed. He was willing to receive help from others, but despised it when someone stole his ideas, such as Bill Gates. This scene from the movie depicts that Steve Jobs was a person of integrity. He was not the type of person to want all the credit for himself when he clearly had a team that helped him. Not many people can do this because once one's product becomes popular, one wants all the credit. Even though this scene depicted his integrity, in a way it also reveals his hypocrisy. Steve Jobs had promised that he would not get involved with the music industry, but eventually does with iTunes. Although the idea of iTunes was not stolen by Steve Jobs, the fact that he goes back on his promise makes him lose some of his integrity.
Another interesting part of the movie is when Steve Jobs is re-hired by Apple. He does a good job of not taking advantage of his power as CEO. I realize he fires most people of the board, but he had legit reasons to do so. I know if I was in that position, I would seek revenge on everyone who had not given me a chance, like they did to Steve Jobs in the beginning. Thus, after seeing that part of the movie, his integrity seemed to go back to its original level. Overall, I can respect the work and actions of Steve Jobs. He went through difficulties, yet maintained a level head. He made his passion for his work be the motivation for his work rather than negative emotions. Therefore Steve Jobs is seen as a role model to many people.
