Ali is insisting that ‘impossible’ is used as an excuse to avoid taking on new, seemingly difficult endeavors. In one part he says that ‘impossible’ is used by people who “find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.” This indicates that people use this word to do what they know they can in this world, and count everything they supposedly can’t as impossible. Ali says that they have the choice to validate more activities as possible,…

Power can be categorized in many different ways, but in the case, it is power to protect itself from the unfairness.

Scott in his work Behind the Official Story, a “public transcript,” or “the open interaction between subordinate and dominant” (Scott 2).

Introduction This response considers James’ research paper on foundations of organization structure (chapter 16). James’ research paper addressed the two core concepts of authority and chain of command. Strengths James described how organizations that emphasize use of the chain of command and authority, such as the military, use rigid procedures and controls to focus workers (Fischer, n.d., s. 3). Authority is an inherited ability to give orders with an expectation of compliance or…

In a series of five experiments they touch on many aspects of power such as abstract thinking, moving first, and…

participation in social movements, coalitions, and (more recently) interest groups is important to analyze if you want a full picture of their participation in politics, as they “have been excluded from the interest group, electoral, and party systems” for most of American history (Walton, Smith, & Wallace, 2017, p. 109).
