All people potentially have power within themselves
and these powers tend to come out only in some contexts. Power can be divided
into two categories; ascribed and acquired. Sex and ethnicity are ascribed
power while decision on religion and political stance are acquired power.
Two approaches to the analysis have been
mentioned in the class; reputational and decisional. Since reputational
analysis put more importance on the reputation of people, the person who is
really exercising the power might be different from what people have recited. Therefore,
the decisional approach which identifies those who have power and analyzes the
conflict would be much more accurate and preferable.
Throughout three steps of dimensions of power, three steps for exercising the power were elaborated. In first dimension, power was only implemented through the speech or conversation. In second, the threat on the process of exercising power hesitated one to implement the power. In this dimension, power along the physical threat has blocked the contestation at the very beginning. The third dimension totally changes one’s consciousness and makes them believe that is true. The person in this dimension is totally controlled without any conflict with the person implementing the power. The religious fanatics and Nazis could be the best example in third dimension.

All productive resources in my household are controlled by my parents. I and my sister only have access to them. For reproductive resources, there was no big difference. Almost all listed items are controlled by my parents. I only have control over my guitar and mobile phone. I am able to access or use other items but have no control over them.

I and my sister have neither the ability to control or to access on decision making when it comes to productive activity. All decision-making issues are controlled by my parents and my sister and I have ability to express our thoughts on the reproductive activity matters. Since my family members are all adults, they all have the ability to control their own decision-making related to community-management such as election.

Despite of few abilities to control among the family members, I felt that I am controlling my own aspects of identity.
