Observation-Misuse of Power
Power is the ability of a person to influence others. There are many forms of power. People with power exercise their power in different ways. Some people use their power for evil and unjust practices, which is a threat to humanity. However, power can also be used to bring a positive change or utilize it for the humanistic purposes to empower and assist. The misuse of power is known as abuse of power. Abuse of power is not limited to offices, businesses, and government. People at any level can misuse their power, and at the same time, they have their justifications for it. There are so many examples from society. Even within a family, the dominant member of the family uses his or her power to manipulate others.
The example I am sharing here is from my neighborhood. Following the social, ethical norms, I will not disclose the names or the place they came from. The family I am talking about is an immigrant family, and there are four members in the family; father, mother, and two siblings. One of the kid plays with me when his father is not around. We use to share many things and talk about specific topics. Few days before I saw bruises on his face, on asking he got nervous and did not respond. I did not further investigate. On the other day, it was quite shocking for me to see my friend and his sister scolded and slapped by his father. I could not resist myself and reached the spot. Then, I saw their father using harsh and abusive language for their mother. Upon my interference, his father warned me to stay away and said that I do not know anything. He was roaring that if I did not keep them under control, they would start behaving like others. It is for their own safety and wellbeing. They need to learn that society can spoil them. However, I have not seen any misconduct or offensive behavior of any one of them. I had heard of patriarchal system but I was experiencing it for them first time.
