After reading the chapter in the textbook, and viewing the PowerPoint presentation and the video clips, please answer the following questions in the DB. Please, post an essay of 300 words (or more) addressing the questions: Most of our lives in modern society depend of formal organizations and secondary groups. In that context, we argue that bureaucratic formal organizations are necessary for the functioning of modern society. Can you explain the relationship between Weber's idea of bureaucratization and the idea of McDonaldization introduced in chapter 3? What is the complex relationship between rationalization, bureaucratization and McDonaldization? You need to be specific about the conceptual connection between bureaucratization and McDonaldization (what is their common principle?). You can use materials from the videos and quotes from George Ritzer, the creator of the term "McDonaldization."
