  • Empowerment In Thelma And Louise

    1797 Words  | 8 Pages

    With the widespread usage of the word ‘empowerment’, it is becoming increasingly confusing to evaluate what it actually entails and the measurement of empowerment is still debatable. Nanette Page and Cheryl E. Czuba, researchers on human empowerment, once stated that the meaning of the term ‘empowerment’ is often assumed rather than explained or defined. (Page & Czuba 1999) While the word is literally rooted with the idea of ‘power’, empowerment in this essay nevertheless represents a multi-dimensional social process that gives rise of economic, political, social, educational, gender, or spiritual strengthen of individuals and communities. Addressing the issues of women empowerment in Thelma and Louise, this essay adopts the five components defined by the United Nation: woman’s sense of self-worth; their right to have and to determine choices; their right to access to opportunities and recourses; their right to have the power to control their own lives and their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order.
