What is Political Sociology?
View Full Description
Choose ONE of the following questions:
In chapter 1 of the Dobratz, Waldner, and Buzzell text, the authors describe two useful metaphors for explaining power, politics, and society (car and parent). What metaphors can you come up with to help describe how society operates? What does your metaphor suggest about the way power is distributed in society? Where do politics fit in your metaphor?
Compare the different conceptions and definitions of power. Do you believe power is necessary and important in politics? Why and how? Why not?
Using Weber’s three types of authority (i.e., charismatic, traditional, and rational-legal), think about your own life and the forms of authority you encounter on a day-to-day basis. List all forms of authority you encounter and describe the appropriate type of authority under which each falls.
The Week 1 Discussion Question meets the following course objectives:
CO1: Explain selected theories of political sociology
CO3: Explain the sources of power and effects of organized interests
CO4: Describe processes of political action
Instructions for all Forums:
Each week, learners will post one initial post per week. This post must demonstrate comprehension of the course materials, the ability to apply that knowledge in the real world. Learners will engage with the instructor and peers throughout the learning week. To motivate engaged discussion, posts are expected to be on time with regular interaction throughout the week. All posts should demonstrate college level writing skills. To promote vibrant discussion as we would in a face to face classroom, formatted citations and references are not required. Quotes should not be used at all, or used sparingly. If you quote a source quotation marks should be used and an APA formatted citation and reference provided.
