I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me find sources for the introduction part or build on it! I'll come back to the citation part later. LittleSpadePerson (discuss • contribs) 16:10, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm just editing some citations that weren't Vancouver style (I think I've found the original sources for most of them but please check just in case!) Ed Ardizzone (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

For citation 35 'Sources of power in education, Stanford University', the original post says it is an excerpt from a book- should the citation be from that website or from the original book, seeing as it is word for word?Ed Ardizzone (discuss • contribs) 16:33, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

For whoever wrote power in IR - would you mind if I edited the subheadings under Nye's notion of power into bullet points? For everyone else - do you think this formatting would make it easier to read/digest? LittleSpadePerson (discuss • contribs) 01:26, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Also I'd like to add a brief explanation for the introduction part and this is what I have
 * There are four major forms of power:
 * Power as Direct Coercion: when power can be directly utilised to control someone's behaviour (e.g. police)
 * Power as Indirect Coercion: when power is institutionalised or unconscious biases
 * Power as Strategy/Language: the power of diction, such as association of "childcare" with "women"
 * Power as Multiple Strategies: when multiple forms of power interact, such as gender, race or class.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to list specific examples but that really helped me understand the concept. Can someone help me fill in the gaps/give their opinion before we post it? LittleSpadePerson (discuss • contribs) 01:38, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think examples are good! what about the concept of glass ceiling/glass cliff for women in the workplace as an example for indirect coercion? not sure how well known that is though, finding it hard to find specific examples other than the one I wrote my contribution about!

 * thank you!! i just posted it but in case you think the wording isn't specific/accurate enough and want to change it please do! LittleSpadePerson (discuss • contribs) 11:57, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

To whoever wrote the paragraph on law: I think it might be worth mentioning in the example of Black incarceration as a continuation of slavery, the words 'institutionalised power' - or whatever variation on them you like - to demonstrate the power that exists structurally to maintain racism in America (what I mean is basically that it's more effective to use those words explicitly to describe the kind of power it is alongside the example, rather than just implicitly in the example).

Contribution t-on the paragraph Gender Inequality within Mental Illness Diagnosis
I found this research paper https://search.proquest.com/docview/2337913147?pq-origsite=gscholar&fromopenview=true that questions wether British Psychiatrists are racist. Maybe a sentence could be added at the end of the paragraph to make a parallel between gender and racial discriminations. For example, that Black people are overdiagnosed with Schizophrenia in the US, or are unjustly considered more violent patients because of racial stereotypes.
