Power Over Power


Through this course I have learned that every person has power and distinct capacities. Some of these powers we are born into and some we work for. Our power exists regardless of whether or not we acknowledge or cultivate it. However, we have more control over our individual power once we study it. By studying our individual capacities and the powers at play around us, we have the capacity to effect change. Understand and studying existing power dynamics is important, but even more crucial is realizing that we can shape these powers. In essence, acknowledging that we have power over power.
