SOCI 3530 McDonaldization of Society

This course will examine the ways in which society has changed as a result of the industrial revolution. Sociological theories will allow us to make sense of the reaction and results of rapid mechanization of society. Through the core theoretical perspective of McDonaldization we will examine the ways social structures are efficient, calculable, predictable, rational and controlled. We will apply these core concepts to social structures throughout society.
