CEO of ExxionMobil Rex Tillerson, and many of his neighbors came together, and filled out a law suit against his company that was wanting to build and creat a fracking sight next to their neighborhood water tower, and us the water tower as the fracking water. Rex Tillerson is like a modern day Socrates, because he is able to get everyone on his side, and convince them to believe in his idea, or that something is bad or good. Like Socrates wasn't afrade of dieing, Rex Tillerson wasn't scared of loosing his buisness, he just wanted what he wanted, that that was to have no fracking next to his property. Rex Tillerson is addressing that he likes fracking but not when it is in yard, and he doesn't. Rex's method, is to get people to agree with what he wants, and then to get his fellow neighbors mad and come together and get what they want. His method works, because he is good at convincing people, and making them believe in what he does. His method also work because he listens to people, and he acts as a leader to get what he wants, and also what the other people want. Fracking is a serious issue, because even though it is a way to get a lot of oil and gasses, we don't really know what it does and what effects it has on Earth, and the environment. As of now we don't really know what effects fracking has on the environment, but many believe that nothing good could come out of fracking. Rex Tillerson is talking to us Americans, and other people who live in the USA. He is wanting for us to listen, and come together to take out fracking. So what is Fracking? Fracking is a method of drilling into the eath to gather oils and gasses far below the Earth's surface. These fracking tubes that colect the gasses and oils are miles long, and crack the eath to open up caves that hold the gasses and oils. That is what fracking is.






 This is Rex Tillerson, the CEO of Exxion Mobil.
