come and talk about the "empower

I saw the warmly discussion about "empowerment"in the homepage.Then I wander if we can talk about this here for one way take part in the hot topic and for the other way practice my degenerative English.Let me kick off:
Empowerment involves a larger process for unleashing the human potential and enhancing human ability to nurture societal growth. It is interesting that the word empowerment has come into such prominence in a time of great change and economic restraint as people are struggling with limited resources to meet seemingly greater demands. Without question, our organizations, our communities, the nation and the world are in transition. Our society is struggling to change from an industrial, manufacturing based, economic giant to a down-sized, delayered, more technological, communication base. In this wave of major transitions, there is upheaval and a feeling of uncertainty; people are struggling to define their jobs, their businesses, and indeed their very roles in life. With such transition comes tremendous change accompanied by a sense of loss and uncertainty that is felt by many, but especially by those who have not been able to find a satisfactory niche in which to fully develop what they perceive to be their role. Feelings of helplessness and futility within people and countries can cause unrest and even violence as people strike out looking for ways to feel empowered. What kinds of paradigmatic shifts can facilitate positive change? What does it take to feel empowered? Is there a dynamic relationship between change and empowerment? Are there outdated past patterns that must be abandoned in order to help people move toward a sense of feeling empowered?
