Power is the ability to control something or someone, to understand anything, and to overcome obstacles. Being able to control things is kind of like globalization. In our world we are globalized a lot! Being able to out source things to get done in other countries is having power, being able to send factories to other parts of the world so its cheaper is having control, and being able to change culture which isn’t a good thing but that is still control. So control is definitely part of having power. Being able to understand things like people and problems and finding solutions is a big part of being powerful. Having the power to make things better and equal like in animal farm and having people be the same like in the giver is having power because you are making things better for the world. Being an adult would make power easier, because you usually understand more and how to make things better. Being able to overcome obstacles is the most important part of having power. To have power during conflict is definitely a sign of having power because you may win. In animal farm the animal that had the most power was the one that had more experience in conflicts, and understanding how to get through obstacles like war and arguments between people. There is good power and bad power. The good power is like philanthropy which is someone donating their time and money to causes that help people. Like princess Diana donated helped with literacy programs and education for the underprivileged. An act of bad power is slavery. When rich people who had money who could buy slaves they forced and made them work on their fields and treated them inhumane. Giving people right and freedom in certain cases but having rules and laws to follow which will keep everything in order.
