What is power? What makes power, powerful?

Every day of our lives, we move through systems of power that other people made. Do we
understand power? Do we realize why it matters? Power is something we are often
uncomfortable talking about. It's especially true in civic life, how we live together in community.
In a democracy, power is supposed to reside with the people. It governs how any form of
government works, learning how power operates is key to being effective, being taken seriously,
and not being taken advantage of. But what is power? what makes power, so powerful?
For me, power means getting a community to make the choices and to make the choices that you
want. Power comes from different forms, may it be from wealth where money creates the ability
to buy almost any other kind of power, may it be state action, the government where it uses to
compel people to do or not to do certain things, or may it be from individual's idea where it
generates boundless amounts of power or if it motivates enough people to change their thinking
and action. What rules do we set up so that few people don't accumulate too much power and so
that they can't enshrine their privilege in policy?
Whether you get what you want depends on how you adapt with power. what I need to do are to
learn how to read power and write power, to read power means to see the society, like how
things are going on today, I need to map out who has what kind of power, arrayed in what
systems, understand why it tuned out this way, who's made it so and who wants to keep it so. I
need to read so I can write, I think to write power requires first that you have the right to write, to
be an author of change. As with any kind of writing, you learn how to express yourself, speaking
up, organize ideas, and then organize other people. Set objective, then bigger ones, see patterns,
how it works, adapt and repeat
