Presentation

Well, for my future presentation on my english class, I am going to talk about the types of legitimate rule by the German sociologist, philosopher, jurist, and political economist, Max Weber, on his book “Economy and society”. I chose this topic because is very interesting how works and affects the domination in differents areas of our life, even in our reality. My presentation is going to organize in characterise how Weber looks the domination and its classifications according to various types of legitimacy, finally, I am going to give examples where can see the domination.
Weber describes three pure types of domination: legal, traditional and charismatic. In a little description, the first one is about a domination based on a statute. It means that you do not obey to a person, you obey the rule established and everything is regulated for a statute, like in a State. In second place, the traditional domination is the authority ligitimated based in a “has always existed”, because people has inherited and accepted it without thinking, for example the feudal regime, where vassals were dominated by feudal lords. Finally, the charismatic authority is a affective devotion to a person and his or her supernatural qualities. It explains the authority of political or religious leaders, like Hitler or Jesus, but the problem is when the leader die or the followers do not believe in the person anymore, then the domination is over.
