Power Relations

Power relations refer to the dynamics of influence and authority between individuals or groups within a society. They shape how decisions are made, resources are distributed, and social norms are established. Power can stem from various sources, such as wealth, intelligence, social status, or position in an organization. Understanding power relations helps us recognize who holds power and how it impacts relationships and outcomes in everyday life, whether in politics, workplaces, or communities. It’s essential for promoting equity, accountability, and social justice by highlighting imbalances that may exist.
