Diversion from main problem....

What really power is?

-"Power is a measure of an entity's ability to control its environment, including the behavior of other entities."................Wikipedia.............

- "the ability to control people or things"............Oxford dictionary..............

-" a (1) : ability to act or produce an effect (2) : ability to get extra-base hits (3) : capacity for being acted upon or undergoing an effect ..........: possession of control, authority, or influence over others.............Merriam-Webster dictionary.......

The main thing is...power is the ability to control something......

Out of these definitions two things are really important....a. ability.....b. possession of something that you excercise your ability....

Now if we analyze all power sources in society...they are based on three principle things..............a. education (knowledge/skills),...... b.wealth....... and c. authority.............

Now that we have set parameters...it is easy to discuss other issues.... Now when we talk about emancipation or empowerment of either for women, children or minorities...these three conditions should be met...

Unfortunately...most of the discussions are intended to divert the attention  of masses from these three basic issues....by creating divide between...men and women.....religions....religion and secularism....ethnicities....and cultures.....

The fact is these three principle sources of power is abused in all cultures, societies, religions (in secularism) and gender....so the main thing is....it is not of gender, ethnic, cultural or religious issue...it is social, political and economical issue and these three sets of problems should met in each contexts.......

what do you mean by context....because it is the context that legitimize the oppression, abuses and also diversion from main problems.........

Contexts are identities and ways of life that people have adapted to like, gender, ethnicity, culture and religion......

The question is, if some problems are rooted in the contexts then is it the solution to erase the whole contexts? Is it possible? or the solution is to able people to deal with their problems by principle sources of the power?

What is your judgments?...............
