Power is not always easy to see. It can appear in decisions, rules, access to information, money, education, technology, public spaces, institutions, or social relationships. Sometimes power is visible through formal roles, such as governments, schools, employers, or organizations. Other times, it is less visible, such as whose voice is taken seriously, who feels safe to participate, or who has access to opportunities.
Before exploring power structures, inequality, and privilege more deeply, take a moment to think about where power is most visible in everyday life.
