As I focus on summarizing the case study pertaining to “Intergovernmental Relations and Ocean Policy Change: 1971-85”, there are several aspects that should be considered. One of the most essential as well as important aspects involves understanding the affects that policy changes have toward society. In my opinion, this case study is an appropriate example of how the concerns within political transmit inactivity or change because of corporate and profit growth. Although the dumping in oceans does have effect on all individuals; it is quite easier to obtain a profit if it associates with the correct power of political or connection.…

Foucault’s middle period is characterized by analyses of power: the structure of power within society and its distribution, and the way relations of power unfold. The problem is that Foucault seems to imply that all social phenomena, from education, law, policing, discipline, governance (the institutions that form society’s infrastructure), the apparatuses that engender and affect cultural and familial life, are reducible to an analysis of the relations of power operating within. Power is described as ubiquitous and embedded within the social fabric, so that there is no society without conflicts of power relations. If this is the case, then the effects of power are inescapable and inexorable. This raises the question of what there is to be…

The pilots of Sabre Two and Sabre Three, were not in a good mood. Not because they had, what looked like, the Centaur in front of them, but because their Squadron Leader, flying Sabre One, was an outright idiot. He believed he knew everything about everything and never in the wrong. At one time, a frustrated android professor thumped him on his already dented head with an Encyclopaedia. Even then, he blamed the Encyclopaedia for being in error, claiming the professor wrote it to make him appear wrong.…
Knowledge is power, which can give an individual the ability to persuade others. In the Play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the characters are accused of witchcraft. They tell the truth to who they choose, giving that person the ability to persuade the judge’s thoughts to their advantage, because, they know what actually happened in the woods. Power in the form of truth is passed between the characters as the witch trial progresses. Power is obtained when secrets or knowledge about others are revealed, or the illusion of knowledge, through weakness and vulnerabilities, or the illusion of knowledge comes the power of persuasion.…
In conclusion, the issues that need to be addressed in order to effectively improve the legal system are, power imbalance, gender and racial bias, socio-economic status, and the sporting theory of justice. The first issue I’m going to discuss is the power imbalance in court causes inequality and separation. This is the case where one side holds more power from their social status or their ability to present the case. An example that we discussed in class was the case of R.v.S (1997) explained the superiority of the police officer compared to the African American defendant in court. According to Devlin’s article police officer have the power to discriminate because they have the power to assert it in public. An effective solution to this problem would be for the court to provide co-mediators on behalf of both parties can help resolve the power imbalance in most cases.…
As relationships are formed we establish power dominances in any kind of relationship such as friendship, love, family, and in the workplace. I believe that the roles of who has power are changing in every type of relationship. Change might be welcome but as roles are changing not all support changes in the relationships such as in the workplace, and family. The principle of power comes in play most of the time in a workplace enlivenment. Since there are different types of relationship there are different role, rules, and characteristics in every relationship. Characteristics in relationships such as a relationship of love, friends, family, and the workplace. In the movie Wall Street (1987) the two main characters Gordon Gekko and Bud Fox have a relationship that is control by separation of power that causes conflict.…
I find that your idea about how power dynamics should be taught in nursing education to be a brilliant one. I recently graduated nursing school and I remember discussion about therapeutic relationship and know about the dynamic of power. I agree with you that education should be provided on this topic because power does play a major role in patient outcomes. In my personal life as a patient and in my role as a nurse I have felt intimidate by a physician. When a doctor projects arrogance and makes feel uncomfortable it is hard to build a relationship that promotes ideas and productive forward thinking. As a nurse it important that you are able to freely share your concerns, thoughts and advocate for your patients. Without you feeling like that…
I really enjoyed reading Janet’s book, and am glad to see diversity discusses by a “white” person. It has really help me come to terms with my position in society and realize that there are many aspects of my life that I take for granted. I am also able to recognize my own beliefs and how they were shaped by my “invisible” culture. I read this book right after I read Privileged, Power, and Difference, and I felt they went very well together. At first, I did not want to accept the idea that I had benefits simply because of my skin color. I am learning to accept this and also to question it. Coming from the dominant culture, I neglect and ignore the fact that other people live their lives differently than I was socialized to do.…
I think the rise of ‘others’ will eventually become a resistance against the dominant status quo, when the oppressed speak out against their oppression this will help the dominant groups to be aware of how their actions and assumptions contribute to oppression, this will then bring about a change.…
