Chapter 8: Power

Power is the ability to get your way despite resistance. It is another component of social class. Sociologist C. Wright Mills created a term, power elite. Power elite refers to the people in the U.S. that make all of the biggest decisions. These wealthy people look at the world in the same way and view themselves as special. They participate in the same clubs and vacations as well. I took this picture out of a comic book of Thor because he is powerful and a god. Maybe not exactly the same type of power but he would be able to get his way regardless of any resistance.
