Kinds of Empowerment

Introduction:There are five main kinds of Empowerment: economic, political, societal, cultural, and national.

•Economic empowerment comes from having enough wealth to take care of your needs.

•Political empowerment comes from having a say in how things are organized and how decisions are made.

•Cultural empowerment comes from being free to practice your culture.

•Societal empowerment comes from all members of society being treated fairly and equally.

•National empowerment comes from a nation having the power to make decisions for itself.

Conclusion: All these kinds of empowerment work together and influence each other.

Disempowerment-is when people believe that they have little or no control over their lives. They feel they have little or no power to change things and if they try they will be treated more unfairly.

Economic Disempowerment might happen if you did not get the education you need to get a good job.

Political disempowerment might happen if you did not have the right to vote.

Please answer on looseleaf in proper sentence form J

An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence. A plausible inference is supported by evidence in the article and is consistent with known facts outside of the article.

What inference(s) can you draw from the fact that the IOC has ruled that Russia may not field an official team at the PyeongChang Games because the Russian government supported widespread use of banned, performance-enhancing substances during the last Winter Games?

Opinion

The estimated cost of these Games is $13 billion (US) – far less than the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, which were the most expensive ever at over $50 billion (US). Still, $13 billion is a huge amount of money!

As you see it, are the Olympic Games worth the cost? Give reasons to support your response.
