For this project I have decided to explore the idea of earth and power and the way in which the environment has a powerful and strong impact on the earth. Additionally this will create a clear comparison between different communities which have impacts on the environment. Furthermore another idea in which I wish to explore is how different peoples power represents there personal self in multiple ways. I have chosen this topic as I feel that the different impact it has on people is very different as the impact the earth and power has on people is very different. This may be due to people being power hungry as well as the power hierarchy. So overall I’m going to explore the way the environment reflects power.
Power is often defined only in negative terms, and as a form of domination, but it can also be a positive force for individual and collective capacity to act for change. The most commonly recognized form of power, ‘power over’, has many negative associations for people, such as repression, force, coercion, discrimination, corruption, and abuse. Power is seen as a win-lose kind of relationship. Having power involves taking it from someone else, and then, using it to dominate and prevent others from gaining it.
