Feliz Navidad
Nuestra mundo es embelesan con poder en la medida en que naciones e individuos frecuentemente se encierran en fuertes luchas para hacer su voluntad. Las naciones utilizan el poder militar para lograr sus objetivos aún cuando, como en la península de Corea, amenazen la estabilidad del mundo entero. Los partidos políticos utilizan el poder de la comunicación, especialmente el del internet, mientras compiten por el control en el gobierno. Y más y más, los candidatos con dinero utilizan el poder de este para ser elegidos. Las corporaciones utilizan su riqueza y prestigio para influenciar la opinión pública y últimamente para lograr ganancias. Aún en escalas menores, vemos el uso del poder para controlar, manipular o influenciar en los hogares, en los centros recreativos, en los lugares de trabajo, evidenciándose en violencia doméstica, en el maltrato o intimidación en las escuelas y en las prácticas despiadadas para alcanzar una promoción. Sin lugar a dudas, nuestro mundo está cons-tantemente atrapado en luchas de poder que dejan marcas en los rostros de innumerables millones así como en el rostro del mundo.
