Mash Up

"The word power is ambiguous and mystifying Power is interrelated and measurable The word power is vague and ambivalent Everybody is believed to have some form of power" - JULIUS BABARINSA Angela Merkel, Miranda Kerr, Helen Kellar are woman of power. But what power? Being in the league of the most beautiful women in the world, Miranda has indirectly been blessed with power not many people ever experience in their life. To accompany her exterior beauty her strong character is her "backbone to success". Her co-workers describe her as full of "determination, commitment and ambition." These are all powerful words which are an unyielding influence on the younger generation especially young women. Angela has a responsibility to her country, she is a head figure who "has steered Germany through difficult times". Her "dowdy image" is the not the cause for her popularity and power instead it is her words, and "actions that are life-changing to many people" and therefore her purpose as German Chancellor comes with a lot of power attached. Its hard to imagine someone like Helen Kellar could be bestowed with such influence and power. Being unfortunately blind since her birth Kellar would be in no position to be the Angela Merkel or Miranda Kerr of the world. Howeve she has found her form of power through intelligence and knowledge. Her power is shone through in achievements, mainly being able to "speak the language of the sighted" as well as later being the first deaf/blind person to gain a degree in university. All three women have defined power in distinctive ways. They have used there abilities to conquer extraordinary things which have rewarded them with power to influence and change.
