An Introduction to Empowerment

Picture
Key Question: How can we distinguish between Authority and Power?

Power is when you are able to do something whether you have the right to or not.
Example 1 - A thirteen year old boy may have to power to drive a car, but not the right to.

Authority is when you have the right to do something.
Example2 - A seventeen year old with his driver’s license has the authority to drive as well as the power.
*These are some super simple examples.  Usually if you have the authority you have the power, but not always. For example, Mexico has the authority to end its drug problem but not the power to do it because the drug cartels have too much power
