According to the
text "Pluralists hold that power may be tied to issues, and issues can be
fleeting or persistent, provoking coalitions among interested groups and
citizens".
The concept of power
has many interpretations, some of us think that power is held by our political
leaders who we believe have the power to make decisions. Although they can make decisions the
community is ultimately responsible for putting these people into power. We the
community have the tendency to support the leaders whose platform targets the
current issues at hand, we can also make the decision to replace these leaders
when their platform differs from the needs of the community. This contradicts the Sociologists' idea that
"the power structure tends to be stable over time". As we vote
people in and out of power we are proving the instability of the "structure of power".
