This is a group discussion. Your group name will be available at the top of this page.
View scenes 11 & 12(minutes 32:0038:30) of Flight of the Phoenix. As we get back to our crash survivors, we can observe that some of them are beginning to take action to save themselves. Unfortunately, there is pretty strong disagreement over what should be done, resulting in lots of spilled water. As you watch, pay attention to how Kelly (the only woman in the group), Captain Towns, and Elliot each try to exercise power. Try to recognize examples of each of the five types of power being used.
Instructions
Write a response to the following questions, and post it in the group discussion at the bottom of this page.
List one specific example of how each of the five types of power is exercised in this clip. Explain why your cited action or dialogue is the type of power you say it is.
Which example appears to be the most effective in achieving its goal?
Choose at least two of your classmates' answers, and provide an alternative explanation to their response. In other words, if a member of your group said, "Jim's statement was an example of coercive power," you would then provide an alternative explanation using one of the other power bases. Be sure to justify your response.
