Study Notes
Nature of Power
- Power is an essential aspect of human social relations and structures, often defined as the capacity to influence outcomes through control of valued resources.
- Thomas Hobbes emphasized that without a common authority, humans exist in a state of war against one another.
- Bertrand Russell compared power in social science to energy in physics, suggesting it's a fundamental concept for agency and action.
- Types of power include:
- Power-over: Dominance over others through force or coercion.
- Power-to: Individual capacity to achieve goals based on personal attributes, resources, or skills.
- Power-with: Collaborative efforts to achieve results through cooperation among individuals.
Dimensions/Types of Power
- First Dimension of Power: Direct power, often exercised through money or physical force, where only the powerful influence decisions.
- Second Dimension of Power: Enables understanding of cause and effect, allowing for informed decision-making that can favor weaker parties.
- Third Dimension of Power: Avoidance of conflict via manipulation, leading to feelings of helplessness among the less fortunate.
- Fourth Dimension of Power: Combines elements of the previous dimensions, focusing on social conventions and their establishment.
Types of Power
- Coercive Power: Imposed by authority threatening punishment to ensure compliance.
