MLDA (minimum legal drinking age) has become a contentious subject across the nation. The argument is that should it be lowered from 21 years to 18 years. As usual, there are positives and negatives to this, with others arguing for it and the rest against it.…

rational-legal. Traditional authority—or the ‘eternal yesterday’ as Weber puts it—is a dominant power which relies on tradition or custom. With this way of ruling, power is not challenged because this is how the society has always been run, and people respect the traditional values. Charismatic authority comes from society believing in a person’s personal charm, their personality, or their mission and values. Rational-legal authority, which is…
