Reconceptualizing Power and Politics

Rather than purport that individuals/citizens may contribute to their own problems, we believe that "it is more effective to reconceive that basic problem."  Robert Linthicum suggests that when people are severely limited in what they can do to change their plight, they become impoverished.  He suggests that poverty is not so much the absence of goods as it is the absence of power.  Marginalization, incapacity, and lack of opportunity are not the result of poverty, but its primary causes.  (1)

Henslin states, "As the exploited react to their oppression, still other problems emerge such as crime, escapist drug abuse, and various forms of violence such as riots and suicide."   The less powerful need to resist, rebel, or appeal to higher values of justice." (64) (2)

Finally, it is always the implied if not explicit understanding that communities of people should not let government or corporate "leaders escape their responsibilities".  The important task is for people to hold the government , business, educational and social institutions responsible to do what the law requires them to do." (65) (3)
