The dynamics of power in our relationships are reinforced and perpetuated by the cultural, historical and institutional contexts in which they arise, whether in the political, religious, family, employment or other arenas; in short, wherever people engage with each other. Power dynamics run through all relationships, and need to be understood as the fundamental component that can create, when used negatively, marginalization and oppression, an establishment of dominance over another as a statement of superiority, privilege, and elitism over the other. It can also create, when used positively, self-empowerment and wholesomeness that speaks to one’s  own good self-esteem that can be inclusive, engaging and welcoming of others, ever seeking for the other to realize the fullness and beauty of his or her own potential. The holder of “primary” power is therefore making more of a statement and broadcasting for good or for ill about him or herself, rather than about the “other.”
