Question

One famous view of power-introduced this week by Thucydides-is that the strong can do whatever they wish while the weak have no choice but to suffer through whatever comes their way. Ideas about social order have changed over time, so the concentration of this kind of power in the hands of the few is far less common today. Do you think changes in the social order (i.e., changes in the distribution of power) have occurred due to historical shifts in ideas about power, or have they happened independent of changes in our understanding of this concept? In your opinion, how does this differ from the way power should be used today? Craft an argument based on this week's readings and lesson explaining your answers.
