Autorité = South Park ???

Pourquoi quelqu'un as-t-il mis "South Park" comme simbole d'autorité??? Je ne vois vraiment pas le rapport
authority != south park

I didn't write it, but I'd say that South Park is associated with authority because it challenges it. South Park is a very anti-establishment show, so I guess it's the opposite of authority.
Pouvoir vs Puissance
Posted by Kezia on February 19, 2004
I was wondering why you would use both pouvoir and puissance, as both words mean power. What distinctions are you trying to make by using both words?
Respect it

South Park is associated with the word of authority because of a classic piece of dialogue from the show, where Cartmen becomes a policeman, and repeats the phrase "You must respect my authority!" to a citizen he has pulled over. I am assuming that the correlation is only due to a silly joke. However, Isaac raises a good point that the show does in fact challenge authority to a considerable extent.
Authority and economic power

Is economic power the cause or the consequence of gaining authority?
lol :-) + réponse à "Pouvoir et Puissance"

Pour Nicholas Cordella :
Merci pour la blague sur Cartmen et le policier. Mais est-ce vraiment cela l’autorité ? Pour vous, est-ce que l’autorité est uniquement répressive, ou est-ce plutôt une autorité préventive ?
Pour Kezia Charles :
Pouvoir et puissance sont deux notions différentes. Le pouvoir provient d’une hiérarchie, d’une mission qui est confiée, tandis que la puissance peut avoir plusieurs origines : l’influence, l’argent, les relations. La puissance, amène le pouvoir et la réussite, tandis que le pouvoir n’apporte pas toujours la réussite.
As-tu compris la différence ?
Power

Would you then say that the power that the church has is more like 'puissance', whereas the power the army has is 'pouvoir'?
Pouvoir et Puissance

Does one of the two, pouvoir and puissance, have a negative and/or positive connotation? Since it seemed (from responses to other words) that the French generally seemed to have a more negative connotation to power by money, influence and relations.
