After the skype call, some of class’s opinions to the answers changed. Many of us changed it because we discussed the questions in class and understood better. There were a few answers that I agreed on. Many groups took time and patience to answer all four questions.
Define Power: Many groups thought that power was many things. Many groups thought different things. Some groups thought that power was money. Other groups thought that power was a force or the ability to have something. They said that power could be a good thing or a bad thing. Many groups thought that power was something you could touch. At the end, we found out that power could not be touched. We found out that power is something you can not touch. It is like a force or the ability to do something. So that made my point of view change. I now know what power really is.
How does power affect personal relationships: Each group thought of many similar things. The groups thought that power affects personal relationships in good and bad ways. Power could destroy a friendship or make people become closer as friends. Power could could make something greedy with what they have. They could become selfish which no one likes. I think that power could people separate or become closer. In my opinion, power can make many things happen to personal relationships.
How can power affect a persons decision making process: Most of the groups had a similar opinion to this question. Some groups thought that power can make a person choose a wrong decision. Power can make a person choose decisions that are not normal or correct. Power can also make a person change. Another group thought that power can make you say things you really do not mean. It makes people say what they would not say. I believe that power can change the way you think. Power is sometime not a good thing because it will make you become a new person. Now I see how and why power affects the decisions of people.
Why is power important to people: Some groups thought that power is important to people because it makes them feel more important and confident. Other groups thought that power can make people more powerful than others. It could make you make decisions other people can not make. Another group thought that power can make you the boss. What I think is that power can make you more powerful than other and it gives you permission to tell people what to do. I think power is needed because some people can be ruled. With power, it gives you authority to tell people what to do. You should know that people could use power but not to take advantage.
So overall, power can be a good thing or a bad thing. It is something that someone has from the beginning. It is the option for people to use it for good things or bad things.
