What is power? Explain or describe a situation in which you felt empowered?
power: the possession of control or command over others; authority; ascendancy: power over men’s minds.
I think power is control and to have power is to have the upper hand. One of the most effective ways to obtain and maintain power is to instill fear (ex: religions, some leaders, even parents to a certain extent). A situation in which I felt empowered is when I got my driver’s liscense. It felt good to have authorized permission to drive a vehicle and I took advantage of it as mnuch as I could.
