Samantha Power on Diplomacy, Motherhood, and the 24-7 Job 'of a Lifetime'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 ноя 2016
- At 42, Samantha Power became the youngest person to be appointed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Now, she is a powerful force in steering America’s foreign policy and dictating intervention abroad. “My style in diplomacy is my style as a human being-I’m very direct and very honest,” she says in this video. Despite being surrounded by men on the security council, she admits that she carries a lot of clout as an American. “We’re the largest donor, we’re the host country, we’re the superpower-so people’s ability to be dismissive or patronizing with me are limited.” Power is also a mother of two young children. Balancing motherhood with a job that bends to global events is difficult, but Power says it informs her work in meaningful ways. “It’s not ideal to always be one eye on the blackberry, and two arms around my children,” she explains. “For the sake of mothers out there who don’t have the blackberry but do have the children and are hoping someone will be raising their voice on their behalf, it’s a great privilege.”
This is the fifth episode of The Atlantic’s video series “Women and Leadership,” which explores insights and advice from five women in politics, entertainment, and tech.

I'm not sure why the comments on this are so disparaging, but I'd like to counter them by saying that I'm not even American, but I find Samantha's work to be extraordinary. Her book, The Education of an Idealist, is an inspiration to me. Thank you, Sam Power!
........well maybe you should wake up....I notice that the comments are listing the reasons. You absorbed her POS book...but didn't follow up on these comments?
Central Scrutinizer The comments do list a lot of reasons. But they give no evidence to support whatsoever. And frankly, I’m inclined to believe it’s just more right-wing propaganda.
@@michaelallan4278 ........When she's locked up what will you call it? Who lives and breathes "propaganda" in 2020 anyway?......just how out of touch with REALITY are you people?
Central Scrutinizer I’d ask you the same question. Propaganda is everywhere. Especially in politics, which is why it’s important to look at the confirmed facts and not go off of solely what you hear. And there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind - Samantha Power has not broken the law and not done any of the rubbish you people has said she has done. Quite simply because none of you have shown any evidence for it. Hence, you’re clearly going off of things you’ve heard and not done research for yourself.
Central Scrutinizer Yet in the three and half interim years, nothing has been proven. Because there isn’t any solid proof of wrongdoing. And any requests outside of a member of the NSA’s duties wouldn’t meet the criteria to be processed in the first place. We don’t have the full story, only that requests were made. And it hasn’t been confirmed the Sam Power made these requests herself.
Thank you for your service, Ambassador! Loved the book as well. God bless you and your family.
Love listening to her share those experiences!
My mother has been an ambassador of my country several time, i get to be the " ambassadors daughter" people make documentaries, shows and even movies about it. But through my tv show that will air on christmas time.. i will reveal the truth of the pressure i have felt and the world you do not see. ♥️ i admire this woman, thank u for this video and for the amazing job you have done - starlight. Ps: trailers of my show will be on my youtube
What kind of pressure u felt ma'am could you please tell us that
Yeah the world people do not want to see and diplomats as your parents work to coopt with. Pretty shameful western diplomacy where it got. Really unable people and a social gap that benefits indeed their relatives. I know different examples. You all should be ashamed for betraying the founding principles of society
@@amrutha.pkumaramrutha7650 will do a video on it!
@@federicot.9432 i agree to disagree with you along with EVERY HUMAN who have been blessed by my mother. your negativity and hate will NOT steal away my joy. may God forgive you!
@@PatriStarlight forgiving me for saying what i think? Diplomats should learn to do the same perhaps. The video you are commenting is about USAID which is practically a criminal organisation that destabilize regimes to exploit its resources. I am fighting these networks of money. No need any god. Just consciousness. Therefore if you do not fall into the category i have mentioned, please understand current world scenario and the battle each one is fighting. I prey for your inner battles also. Hugs
Samantha Power has been a long-time real life heroine of mine. In addition to her brilliant work for the Obama Administration and Pulitzer Prize for A Problem from Hell she is an exceptionally graceful and righteous woman. We need more moral beacons of light to counteract the darkness that has encompassed large parts of the West over the past 5 years. I look forward to seeing what Ambassador Power will do at USAID and am enthused for her!
I have several friends who are all really interested in foreign policy who are also theater and dramatic obsessed. We have a long-time obsession with Samantha Power's personal life story as akin to a major character in high fantasy. We also like listening to Lana Del Rey's songs about great American Lorde's album PURE HEROINE and comparing her to lyrics in Lorde's songs.
Anyone associated with the Obama administration is a suspicious character. It looks like this woman is just another drop in that bucket.
What about Libya's children? What about their country? And no, Gaddafi would never had decimated his beloved Libya. For every "good" Samantha Powers would argue exists for removing him, there are several reasons for not
He bombed his own people indiscriminately lmao
Great behind the scenes video, it humanized her.
There is no "humanizing" this monster and her husband Cass Sunstein.. Raising a good little Fabian Zionist monsters; paranoid lying control freaks.
You're blinded by hate, i feel sorry
and THAT is just why this video was prepared.
Mellyandu, hate doesn't blind people, it eliminates myopia and bestows clarity of vision. For instance, in reality, I would probably hate you. I am perfectly happy with that. Studies show that leftists are generally unhappy. Haters are euphoric.

that lie to go to WAR will end up.

How you can contribute to spread the truth:
1) Copy this message and spread it around.
2) THE GOOD DELEGATIONS (organized truth)
Real journalists that know the truth should organize small groups and form small delegations:'The Good Delegations'.
The Good Delegations should go to speak with governments and institutions and explain the truth;
many governments are in good faith but don't know the truth as they are fooled by propagandists thus becoming inadvertently
complicit.
@@1luarluar1 yes !
She is a monster 👹
Samantha, you're an amazing person!
But was a lousy ambassador who was played by the U.N.
She should be in prison.
William Defoe's sister?
What happened with Libia and other countries in Africa miss Power?

Wow ;)
Amazing that American diplomats even show their face in view of Afghanistan and Iraq
THE WRONG VISIONARIES
Right now there are visionaries that want to better the world, save humanity; so they act to achieve this wonderful idea.
But, to achive their vision, they took wrong actions because of their ignorance, misled ambitions and miscalculation,
causing
in the end enormous pain, suffering death.
Beware of the WRONG VISIONARIES.
It makes me so happy to know that my children are growing up in a world with politicians like Samantha Powers. We need more people (particularly women) in powerful positions who understand and care about what the citizenry wants, too. This video was very inspirational.
I suggest you to research better what she did....I linked some videos that can help you to understand.
@@1luarluar1 interested, where are these video links?
@@robertsimms5861 I put them in the reply..you can find them there..cheers!
@@1luarluar1 oh yes, the White Helmets and their "live reporting" of fake videos. Not heard of this award winning journalist before. Wasn't on CNN, do, can't be important? 😝 Just kidding!!
Eva Bartlett says much the same.

Noted but hard
I want her hugs
Why so much hate? this is one of the hardest jobs in the world.
Orange she lies and blames everything on russia
Because people are pissed and blinded by hate. They don't want to listen to anything except what they think should happen. So whatever she does, it will never be seen as not wrong.
because everything is Russia's fault..

She unmasked hundreds of people in 2016. She belongs in prison.

The home and car depicted here belong to the State and they are given to each American UN ambassador during their tenure. They no longer live there anymore as she has left that position

Idk it humanises you but at the same time please stop attacking the developers of ethiopia tough decisions were made the world isn’t black and white you know that but if they didn’t act there would be civil war everywhere or all the opportunities in Ethiopia would’ve been saved for the tigrayans to the exclusion of other ethnic groups it would’ve been a tinder box. I know it might difficult for you to swallow but ethiopia is on the right track and please allow us to develop
She absolutely needs to resign
There are 16 ambassadors and they ALL MEN.

How so?

She spends too much time trying to make impressions and say things in interesting way
Must be such an irreparable damage to your soul to be her son
