Power is Powerful

This course has been the most eye opening experience since I have been in college. From learning about the Sugar Production to Tourism in Jamaica to the ongoing hatred of the DR/Haiti and finally to the Earthquake in Haiti, every lesson contributed to my growth. I’m definitely taking something away from college this semester. The movement the course took throughout the semester taught me one thing, the importance of power. Having power is POWERFUL. Everything we read in class related back to who had control and power over the situations. Katz’s novel, The Big Truck Went By, sums of the course on power and its importance. Many privileged nations that “helped” Haiti after the earthquake did it for political reasons. They contributed to the relief post-earthquake because that is what a powerful nation is supposed to do. They did not contribute enough in order for Haiti’s nation and economy to prevail. The importance of Power is to have one person or nation at the top and have a few remain on the bottom. Power is about money and control.
