How is the power obtained?
We believe power is obtained in many different ways. For example a president/leader gains power when people vote for them and trust them, some leaders are born into power, countries gain power by being stronger and having a stable and powerful government. Why we think this is because if you don’t trust your leader to protect you and you don’t trust your country to make the right decisions then it must not be a very good and stable government. We believe that it is very easy for people to abuse power, when people abuse power they only benefit themselves and only make decisions that makes their life better. For example Hitler had way too much power which he abused it, all of it and made very poor and terrible decisions. When someone has power they need to be able to make quick and smart decisions that will improve and impower their community. “Power is the ability to influence or outright control the behaviour of people.” In the past, violence was the quickest route to establishing dominance. But today, people gian influence by advancing the welfare of others. Wealth buys us what we want, and much of what we want is power. Power has changed throughout the years like I said before power was violence and now it’s moved into money and wealth and votes on who we believe is best for us.
