Next, I will be discussing the three types of power along with the definition of power, from the communication concepts found in Superbad.
“What is the definition of power?”
Power Definition: (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) the ability or right to control people or things; political control of a country or area; a person or organization that has a lot of control and influence over other people or organizations.
According to the textbook, “Understanding human communication”, power is group centered.
It is also distributed among group members.
Power isn’t an either-or concept.
Signpost: that was the general definition of power itself, now we will be talking about the initial forms we chose.

5. Laissez-faire Leadership: A style in which the designated leader gives up his or her formal role, transforming the group into a loose collection of individuals.
An example of Laissez-faire Leadership, is when the designated leader, Seth, gives up his role as a friend, and leaves Evan at a party to risk stealing alcohol from the house owner, causing a chain reaction that shows the two members in the group splitting up, and demonstrates what Seth really cares about, which is getting laid.
This causes the group to disperse into a loose collection of individuals. Evan realizes that Seth only cares about the alcohol and to get laid, so Evan shuns him until they later run back into each other.
This falling out, causes Seth and Evan to become distant.
Another example of Laissez-faire Leadership we see in the movie is with the two police officers. The two police officers didnt do much when it came to police work. They buzzed out of radio calls, and let Fogell get by the entire movie with them knowing that the I.D that he was using was fake the whole time.

Conclusion: Today we discussed the five group concepts, found in the movie Superbad, We gave examples of the concepts, and discussed what they are and how to use them. We covered:
1. Reward Power: getting something out of it
2. Connection Power: networking to benefit the group
3. Authoritarian Power: the leader giving out orders.
4. Laissez-faire Leadership: the leader gives up and everyone splits.
5. Coercive Power: threatening someone to get something done.
I recommend this movie because there are hilarious actors such as Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, and Emma Stone. If you’re into comedy movies with crude humor, then you’ll love
