Use different concepts (variety shows that you learned something) Power = the ability to get other people to do what you want them to do. Three different sources of power: control over resources = if i have something you need, then i can specify what i want from you in exchange, control over people = authority of the person, use of force. Traditional authority = authority based on the way things have always been: always under question (what if the king doesn"t have a son?) Charismatic authority = authority based on the exceptional personal characteristics of the leader: what happens when the leader dies/goes out of power. Rational-legal authority = authority set up by formal, legal documents and written laws of the society: legal code helps the transition between leaders in power (election code)
