Definition: "The model aims to locate power and domination within a social and political framework and gives an idea of the ways in which subordination is reinforced. In juxtaposition to this is critical consciousness."

Application: This model can be used to help a community organizer to better understand the internal and external forces that are preventing change or awareness from occurring. It creates space for a critical approach to a community by taking into consideration influences at all levels- individual, local, group, community, national, etc. that might effect what is happening within the context of a community.
Adaption: This model can be used at a business. If a business is trying to understand why a a certain product is no longer making profits it would be important to not just assume why this is happening. The company could use this model to understand what issues are occurring internally and externally to better understand how to modify or create a new product for consumers.
