Power, in its most basic definition is the ability to do something or to bring about outcomes. Power itself is either physical or psychological when using it on an individual to change their ideal and belief or be used in a more larger scale, but the uses of power is unique to each individuals, for example in Machiavelli’s work “force” and “fear” were his terms of power; men would break the rules, but it is fear that will always keep them in check and having a force to back it up makes it a very fearsome power. Hobbes believes the government should provide the people with protection but in return the government would have “absolute authority”. Power can be used positively for the greater good, or negatively for the use to cause consequence
