Points to Ponder
- Name people in the Philippines who are powerful. Name the kinds of power they have. Be sure to have examples for each of the kinds of powers.
- Does the government of Pres. PNoy have authority? Support your answer.
- In the context of ruling a government or state: Is it possible to have political power without authority, and vice-versa? Is it possible to have political power without legitimacy, and vice-versa? Cite real-life examples or situations that these may happen.
To summarize:
- Political Science is the study of how power is achieved (or gained), shared and used in the realm of state (or local) governance and global relations
