The three-component theory of stratification, more widely known as Weberian stratification or the three class system, was developed by German sociologist Max Weber with class, status and party as distinct ideal types. Weber developed a multidimensional approach to social stratification that reflects the interplay among wealth, prestige and power. :Weber argued that power can take a variety of forms. A person’s power can be shown in the social order through their status, in the economic order through their class, and in the political order through their party. Thus, class, status and party are each aspects of the distribution of power within a community.〔Hurst 2007:202.〕 Class, status and party have not only a great deal of effect within their individual areas but also a great deal of influence over the other areas. * Wealth: includes property such as buildings, lands, farms, houses, factories and as well as other assets - ''Economic Situation'' * Prestige: the respect with which a person or status position is regarded by others - ''Status Situation'' * Power: the ability of people or groups to achieve their goals despite opposition from others - ''Parties'' According to Weber, there are two basic dimensions of power: the ''possession'' of power and the ''exercising'' of power. This essay was written shortly before World War I and was published posthumously in 1922 as part of Weber's ''Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft''.〔Weber 1922/1980:531-540.〕 It was translated into English in the 1940s as "Class, Status, Party"〔Weber 1946:180-195; reproduced with modifications in Weber 1978:926-939.〕 and has been re-translated as "The distribution of power within the community: Classes, ''Stände'', Parties".〔Weber 2010. See also Waters and Waters 2010; 2015:37-58.〕 ==Possession of power== According to Weber, the ability to possess power derives from the individual's ability to control various "social resources". "The mode of distribution gives to the propertied a monopoly on the possibility of transferring property from the sphere of use as 'wealth' to the sphere of 'capital,' that is, it gives them the entrepreneurial function and all chances to share directly or indirectly in returns on capital." (Lemert 2004:116). These resources can be anything and everything: they might include land, capital, social respect, physical strength, and intellectual knowledge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three-component theory of stratification」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
