political organization and power.

political organization and power. Order Description   FROM AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE VERY IMPORTANT introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion sections research or observe the political organization of an entity in your local community. This could be your church, your HOA, your local government, your law enforcement agency, a business in which you are employed, etc. strive to answer the following research question: What is the power structure of this organization and how is power acquired and distributed? The following questions may be pertinent to addressing this research question: How does the political system function? Is there a clear leader and how is that leader imbued with authority? Who can be a leader and how long does any one leader remain in his or her position? What authority does the leader have to punish people who deviate from the established rules? What are the rules? Compare this political organization with a roughly equivalent political organization from a culture outside of your primary culture - for most of you this means outside the US. Examples could be how Imams are appointed within the political structure of Islam in Jordan, how soccer teams are organized politically in Latin America, etc.
