Essay Instructions: I need to have an essay of approximately 1 page or so that explains, in detail, the concepts and definitions of power and stratification. The main thesis must be that Social Stratification is created and maintained through the deliberate exercise of power. This essay must discuss the following major points:

- Capitalism and Class
- World Capitalist System
- US Power Elite

I need something similar to the following sentences included in the paper:

- The inequalities in class distribution of income and wealth is due to our capitalist society, as well as to international and global capitalism.

- Because of global capitalism and the inequalities that result, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer because the rich rule the capitalistic society.

- It is the rich that have the responsibility of evening out jobs and keeping the economy running.

- Capitalism and class are the keys to stratification.

- States and corporate capitalism are two major power systems.

- Stratification = a social strategy of structured inequality (i.e. one group ruling over another).

- Social Power = the chance that a person within a social relationship can acheive a goal in spite of resistence. This depends on the available resources and where you are starting out within the capitalistic heirarchy. This is maintained through networks of power and connections of stability.

- The global system is tied together simultaneously by trade and investment flows, and dominated by closely tied and competing nation-states.
