Blog Entry #5 Power

The video presented by Stanley Milgram the Milgram experiment shows us the power of authority. He basically conducted a variations of tests on people using high voltage and wanted them to be in full submission. Most of of his patients went through the whole expeiment and a few left. This is primary example of the world now and of the past.

Power is used in many ways from the basics such as law, school and even to a degree relationships betwen spouses. If one breaks a law or laws the law enforcement has power to excute their power through judgement. School has many rules and teahers and school officials have a bit of empowerment of the students since the conduct whats goes on within the school confines. An relationship varies one might hae power because of more of a finacial gain or just more dominace over the other.
