Material Detail

Hello! This 8-minute Introduction to Sociology video explains the power elite and ruling class models of power in the United States. We discuss these models from the conflict theoretical perspective, which views society as groups competing over valuable resources, and consequently, power is concentrated in the hands of the few. We discuss both the theoretical and practical applications of these concepts.

Reflection questions are included on the site.
