What is Empowr’s Mission and how does It Affect Me?

The recently launched Empowr social network has made its mission to solve one of the biggest problems affecting humankind today – with half of the world’s population currently lives on less than $2 a day. In many cases these people are not able to meet their basic needs, let alone enjoy a quality standard of living.

In addition to the difficulties that this creates on a personal level, people living in poverty have trouble taking part in the political process within their countries. This limits their ability to bring about the changes they need to improve the economic situation.

Chances are, if you reading this you are not directly impacted by the extreme poverty that this disparity creates. So does the Empowr mission truly impact you on a personal level?

While you may not be experiencing the disparity that Empowr is trying to correct, but there are ways that the efforts of this corporation can allow you to make improvements in your own life as well.

What is Empowr’s Mission and how does it Affect Me?

Empowr’s mission is to empower the people of the world by giving them more opportunities to improve their lives, hope and influence in the politics of their unique region.

This is done by creating a social media setting where they can make a personal profit to improve their standard of living and learn the skills they need to succeed financially. The hope is that this will allow people who are not currently being given opportunities to get ahead where they live can find the opportunities they need online.

Even if you are not living in a third world country, people still feel as though they are not getting the level of influence they like over their political representatives.

In the United States, for example, most politicians receive campaign contributions they need to get into office from corporations more so than the people they represent. This means that once politicians are elected they will work to please the corporations who support them so they can continue to maintain their position, leaving the average person without much of a voice in how their country is run.

But what if the people could control the corporations more effectively?

Empowr allows their users to elect the president of their company to make sure that the company is managing their affairs the way the customers would like. If other corporations could be convinced to take on the same model, people could elect CEOs that would convince politicians to follow their interests.

Many people complain that corporations only convince politicians to pass bills that will help them to make more profits. This limits the amount of attention politicians are giving to issues that the average person finds important. This also limits the amount of help that the government can offer to people in need.

If you had more of a voice in the political process, do you think that you would be more satisfied with the condition of your country? It would likely make it much easier for you to improve your overall quality of life.

    Thanks to Empowr, I can earn through my amateur writing in my blog posts and shares. I love how little stress I feel now that money is barely an issue in the house because of this alternative income.

    Empowr is a democratic social economy which centers on improving the lives of their members. Empowr is different because they don't follow the traditional technology pattern of simply maximizing financial return to shareholders. Their goal is to maximize value back to their members.

    It's good to know that there are people who are concerned about others and new to Empowr and I am glad to know that we, the members, are allowed to elect our own president which gives us the ability to choose who will lead us. This post is very informative and helpful. Thanks!
