The next topic covered by the two books was the role of emotional self-control in African leadership. Traditionally leaders were to show very little if any emotion.

The central characters are often female, with the goal of ... a source of strength gained from their feminine characteristics. As Sammy previously did on Days of Our Lives, many women use pregnancy and insight to manipulate people.

Other important schemata are force, path, centre-periphery, balance or control, and contact schemata, which, moreover, often work in conjunction.
