Modernity revolves around the rational application of scientific method to certain aspects of life. This could be done through the development of governmental regulations, bureaucratic observation, and the erosion of traditional values (Beck, Lash & Giddens, 1997). New thought processes and the increase in the application medicine and technology have played important roles in the concept of rationalism (Bilton et al, 2002). The character of modern society could be defined by rationalism (Macionis

The Industrial Revolution was the quintessence of capitalistic ideals; it bred controversy that led to Karl Marx’s idea of communism as a massive grass roots reaction to the revolution’s social abuses. Firstly, the Industrial Revolution featured the construction of machines, systems and factories that allowed goods to be manufactured at a faster rate with a lower cost. The seed drill made it so there could be “a semi-automated, controlled distribution and plantation of wheat seed”(Jones 2013). Secondly

In Kay Boyle's short story, "The Astronomer's Wife", the usual perspective of social class is complicated. In mid-twentieth century, the period in which "The Astronomer's Wife" was written, social status was important to most people and it decided who they would associate themselves with. Most high-class individuals, according to written works, thought of themselves as better and wiser than the lower-class individuals. "The Astronomer's Wife" complicates this idea of the importance of social status

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has experienced unprecedented economic growth under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since 1978. In his speech “The Present Situation and the Tasks Before Us,” Deng Xiaoping emphasized the importance of economic reform: “The superiority [of the socialist system] should manifest itself in many ways, but first and foremost it must be revealed in the rate of economic growth and in economic efficiency” (Deng 1980). With this explicit commitment

defined as the complex structure of offices, tasks, rules, and principles of organization that are employed by all large-scale institutions to coordinate effectively the work of their personnel. The classic conception of a bureaucracy was advanced by Max Weber, a German sociologist, who argued that the bureaucracy was a “rational” way for a modern society to conduct business. As Americans, we rely heavily on the structure and function of bureaucracies. From the most mundane to ornate tasks, the function

Max Weber played a large role in the development of bureaucratic management within this model. Bureaucratic administration allows businesses to thrive in terms of precision, continuity, unity, and the reduction of material and personal costs, according

To what extent do you agree with criticisms by Marxist Labour Process and McDonaldization theorists (discuss either or both) of orthodox theories of organizations and management? (Word count: 2097) Organisations and management have seen considerable level of changes in the past few decades, mainly in terms of theories, concepts, and so on. Although there have been many classical theories in the business environment, some of which are still in practice, a new wave of theories have emerged following

Often considered to be, perhaps the foundational text of the Frankfurt school, Dialectic of Enlightenment co-authored by Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno is certainly a strange book. First published in 1947, it is largely made up from the notes taken by Adorno’s wife during discussions between Horkheimer and him. Attempting to conceptualize the self-destructing process of Enlightenment, the transcendent theme brought forth by the authors related to the disintegration of reason. More specifically

Critically analyze the following claim: ‘Class is no longer relevant in Australia in the twenty-first century.’ The relevance of social class in Australia has been disputed as to whether it still exists. There are a lot of arguments and opinions on this issue but class inequality is evidently still in force in twenty first Australia. Contemporary Australian society discriminates the difference of social classes through economic status, education and geographic location. The power struggle in social
