Research Assignment: The Power of an Individual/Group

Who Has Power?

Pick one of the people/groups that we discussed in class. Come sign up for presentation so no one has the same person. Your presentation can be on powerpoint, prezi or poster. This will be shown to the class. Answer the following questions in your presentation:

*** All words to the answers do not have to be on the picture presentation (so there is not too many words on each slide). Every question needs to be talked about in the presentation. It would be a good idea to have speaking notes to refer to in your hands! The questions do need to be answered underneath your posted presentation on your blog. 

Who is the person/group?

What kind of power do they have? (Force, Influence, or Authority) How do they use this power?

Who do they have power over?

How does their power affect you?

How does their power affect the community/province/country/globe? (talk about the ones that are relevant)

How did this person get their power?

Do they compete with anyone else for their power?

What kind of power position do you think you will have in 10 years? In 30 years?

Include:

At least 7 pictures to support your presentation
