What gives you power?

What gives you power?

There are many different things that give you power in different cultures. In the middle east it might be if you are a men you have the power. Your skin color can also determine power. There are many factors that determine the power you are given. Society should be able to treat everyone equally, ignoring the different qualities each person has. 

In the Colombian factor I believe the factor that gives you power is your wealth. Here, if you have money you have everything. If you have money, you are able to buy whatever you want, even politicians to make laws in your favor. I would like to ignore the fact that our country is corrupt, but it is an ugly truth that each Colombian has to accept and try to eliminate.
