Someone would love to have power. Having power gives you rights and makes you feel like you are in charge of everything. I know if i had power over everything, even in my job, i would love it. The video of the Milgrams Obedience studies by Stanley. the experiment was about conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. Five things about this video after watching it a few times was( 1.) Experiment was about a Teacher and a Learner and eveyrtime the learner gets a question wrong, the teacher will electric shock. it starts from 45 volt and goes all the way to 450-volts.( 2.) The shock went from slick shock all the way to danger severe shock. (3.) If the teachers tries to stop because they can't continue from hearing the other person in pain, the experimenter would tell them you must continue because the experiments requires it. (4.) The experimenter offered money to these people, or else they would of never done the experiment for them. (5.) In this experiment the sense of morality is not stronger than obedience. Watching this video made me realize sometimes hone people are in power they feel good for a while until they realize someone else might get hurt of what they are doing. Some people might have hearts to stop what they are doing ad others just love there in charge and they continue everything doing.
The article "Five Faces of Oppression" by Iris Young was very interesting to read. The article has many important facts. The five points was (1) What is Oppression? It is something tradition uses and it is a injustice treatment. (2) There are different types of Oppression. Exploitation is the act of using people and not giving them enough money for their job. (3) Marginalization is worse than exploitation, is the act of relegating or confining a group of people to a lower social standing. (4) Powerlessness is like where some people have power while other doesn't. (5) Violence is a very bad thing. Having violence in your life is not a good thing. This article was great to read. Both the Article and the video relates to the chapter 5 in many ways.who doesn't want to be in power. Chapter 5 talks about power, what it is, how does it affect your life, how to understand power and mostly realizing how you might have more power than you realize. power is a big thing in the world and our everyday life. what is power you might say? power is the ability to bring about an intended outcome, even when opposed by others. which means having "power to" do something even if someone or others opposed or having "power over" something. power can be used everywhere. it can be used in economic, political and cultural and etc.
