Discussion Prompt: Tell us, in the first paragraph, about a moment when you exercised or gained power through a public speech or the publication of some writing—what was the occasion and why did you feel compelled to speak out? In the second paragraph tell us what you said—what was the argument you made, how did you come up with it, and what was the response? In the third paragraph tell us how exercising this power made you feel—was it a good feeling, or did you feel some regret, and what would you do differently now?
