According to sociologist Max Weber's system of stratification, power is the ability of people or groups to achieve their goals despite opposition from others.
Explanation:
Max Weber was great sociologist in German. He proposed the three-component theory of stratification.
Social stratification means ranking the categories of people in a hierarchy. The people of U.S were segregated based on status, power and wealth. Social stratification is characterized based on ethnicity, race and status.
According to Weber, power and status of the individual not only effect within their areas but also have great influence over the other areas. People should work hard and show their power to achieve their goals in spite of opposition from others.
