What is Power?

Power. There are lots of different types of power. There is physical, mental, social power, and of course energy. Physical power is power in the form of strength or energy. It means you are physically capable of doing something that requires immense power. It is shown as strength, muscles, and really any thing that you do that is hard. You may need physical power for some things, and not for others, but physical power is somewhat important. Secondly, there is mental power, which is not the ability to move thing with your mind, but includes will power and other types of "power" which allows you to keep going and trying when all else fails. Mental power is very important for many reasons. Our mental power is the power that allows us to succeed in whatever we do. If we had not will or mental power, then we would give up to easily therefore ensuring low chances for success. Thirdly, there is social power, which is the type of power that rulers, and representatives. Those people have the power to change the way we behave, do things, etc. Social power is also found in leaders and people who begin to and/or change the world. Energy is the power that enables us and everything else to do what is does. A computer runs on electricity, a form of energy. A river runs on kinetic and potential energy. Wind has energy. The water has energy. Everything has energy, which is also a form of power. In the end, power is a lot of different things, but most importantly, it is human desire. Not only the feeling of human desire, but the actual thing. Humans want power. They always have, and always will. That is what power is, and what it will always be.

waddddup varun,
I really liked how you listed all the types of power there is. Its true that there is more than just one kind of power. The most common is physical, because most people in power can do physical harm too. You mentioned that physical power is only some what important. I belive that it is the most common...becuase most people need other mental, and social power and then finally need all the power in physical. You need physical to take over. This is a good post....you explained your thinking alot, which is good. i wish maybe you spent some more time referring to other things like some novels we read in class.
Overall, good post.
