When we think about power, too often people think 'greed', 'get rich' and more negative things than positive. That's because ultimately when peole think of people in power we think of the prime ministers and presidents of the world/ politicians. When we think of politicians in general, we see the bad things and their mistakes before the good things that they've done. In truth, most politicians have done many more good thing than bad ones but the public usually can't see it that way. That's my two cents' worth.

Power is connected with the other terms because all the terms are things that every individual either has or wants.
