El Charco del Ingenio

El Charco del Ingenio is an Ecological Preservation Zone in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Here is a slideshow of photos I took when my friend and tour guide, Marc, took me on a hike through this amazing nature reserve. Check out the website for El Charco.

“Botanical Gardens are not just places for conserving and displaying plants. At the dawn of the new millennium, they are main actors in the defense and protection of the planet’s biodiversity, with a growing focus on the regional – thinking globally and acting locally. And they are also builders of a new environmental culture for the societies that inhabit the Earth.” (El Charco del Ingenio)

Sociologist, Max Weber,

Sociologist, Max Weber,
Weber (pronounced Vayber) said there were 3 dimensions of social class.: power, property and prestige.

Apply Weber's Model To Real Life!

Weber identified three components of social class, what sociologists now call "The 3 Ps", power, prestige and property. According to this model, upward social mobility, or moving up the social ladder, is possible if a person can acquire one of these.

Singer, Beyonce is a good example. Her fame is a form of prestige, which allowed her to acquire property or wealth, thus moving her from a lower to higher social position.

Another example is Mayor Bloomberg. As a CEO, Bloomberg had significant wealth or property, which he was able to convert into political power when he was elected Mayor of NYC.

Former vice presidential candidate and governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, is an example of someone transforming political power to property (wealth).

Weber's 3 Ps and the College Student

Getting a college degree is also a form of prestige. This can help many people earn more income, or property, thus raising them from a lower to a higher social position.
