Like poverty tourism to the favelas in Brazil, philanthropic tourism to villages in Africa, or even aid tourism to far-flung volunteer missions, disaster tourism raises uncomfortable questions about power and inequality. Tourists are in a unique position of privilege. They have the power, money and freedom to visit — then leave — a disaster zone, while locals act as objects of human tragedy, selling their misery to help rebuild their communities. 2, record 1, English, - disaster%20tourism

Power inside organizational constructs resides in an actor's margin of freedom, that is, his/her ability to change the nature of the game or displace uncertainty zones. Anyone mastering an uncertainty zone, from a simple worker to a manager, can exert power. 1, record 2, English, - uncertainty%20zone
