Places and forms of power

I'm going to talk about the notion « Places and forms of power ». First of all, I would like to give a quick definition of this notion. The power is a strength exerted or capable of being exerted. Power is synonym of might. In politics and social science, power is the ability to influence the behavior of people. In order to live together, members of a community accepts rules, regulations and laws. This helps to create social cohesion can also lead to conflicts and tensions. Even, when authority seems absolute, there are always conter-power with question it, aim at limiting it excesses. What are the ways of representing power and how can we limit it ? To answer, I'm going to talk about the power presents in several place and on the other hand the ways taken by some singers who denounce power through their song.
