I have the same problem with the defition of empowerment. Reminds me the
quote I read in Russell Ackoff's "The Art of Problem Solving." He says
something along the lines that the less we understand a complex problems,
the more variables we use to explain it. I have foun myself explaining
empowerment to people, rather than just using a definition that most
people can understand. The situation gets even worse when you try to
teach the concept in Spanish, becuase there is not even a good Spanish
term that can be used as a translation of empowerment.
