Features: Power is the result of potential resistance, or to put it another way, it is an inverse causal relationship. We also find the current concept in the exchange of paper and game theory, both of which emphasize the computable aspects of the process. The process is still conceived within the scope of causal relationships, but it is rich in selectivity. Power analyzes power phenomena through the theory of communicative media. Power is treated as a generalized symbol of communicative media, and many power concepts are compared with the generalized symbols of various communicative media (such as money, truth, love). Currently, there is much discussion about the issue of "power," but few explore it from the perspective of structural functionalism. This masterwork on "power" provides a solid theoretical foundation for discussion.
