Still, they may find the efficiency and convenience the automobile offers irresistible. This book was first published in 1987. Rational-legal authority is legitimate because laws, rules, norms, and procedures are respected and obeyed because they are laws, rules, norms, and procedures. Not long OBJ: Learn what sociology covers as a field and how everyday topics are shaped by social and historical forces. Max Weber himself differentiated such actions by giving examples. Weber demonstrated rationalization in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, in which the aims of certain Protestant Theologies, particularly Calvinism, are shown to have shifted towards rational means of economic gain as a way of dealing with their 'salvation anxiety'. In the context of industrialization, "the most efficient way" means the fastest and most cost-effective way to achieve a profit. Weber's wide-ranging contributions gave critical impetus to the birth of new academic disciplines such as sociology as well as to the significant reorientation . The Open Education Sociology Dictionary (OESD) is a free online dictionary for students, teachers, & the curious to find meanings, examples, pronunciations, word origins, & quotations.

In their view, the enlightenment itself should be enlightened and not posed as a 'myth-free' view of the world. [1] The founders of sociology had critical reaction to rationalization: Marx and Engels associated the emergence of modern society above all with the development of capitalism; for Durkheim it was connected in particular with industrialization and the new social division of labour which this brought about; for Weber it had to do with the emergence of a distinctive way of thinking, the rational calculation which he associated with the Protestant Ethic (more or less what Marx and Engels speak of in terms of those 'icy waves of egotistical calculation'). 2016. For example according to my limited knowledge, there are several social factors such as education, income, housing etc. Formal rationality mainly refers to rational calculation determined by rules, regulations or laws, and the extend to an action occurs as an outcome of quantitative calculations. This volume traces the modern critical and performance history of this play, one of Shakespeare's most-loved and most-performed comedies. The essay focus on such modern concerns as feminism, deconstruction, textual theory, and queer theory. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. Traditional authorities in rationalized societies also tend to develop a rational-legal base to better ensure a stable accession. He argued that, on the one hand, in a consumer-oriented economy the strange and the unfamiliar is always enticing; in different styles of food, different fashions and in tourism it is possible to experience the allure of what is unfamiliar. Rationalization happens with bullies and victims. Giddens's analysis of the writings of Marx, Durkheim and Weber has become the classic text for any student seeking to understand the three thinkers who established the basic framework of contemporary sociology. Shepard, Jon M. 2010. The work of Max Weber is large and diverse but there is one particular insight of his which has become rightly famous beyond sociology. Max Weber (1864 - 1920), famed sociologist, was the first to term rationalization as a process of modern society. What Weber depicted was not only the secularization of Western culture, but also and especially the development of modern societies from the viewpoint of rationalization. It requires distinguishing between instrumental rationality, which involves calculation and efficiency (in other words, reducing all relationships to those of means and ends), and communicative rationality, which involves expanding the scope of mutual understanding in communication, the ability to expand this understanding through reflective discourse about communication, and making social and political life subject to this expanded understanding. Sociology: A Global Perspective. He despaired over the impersonal quality of rational thinking and bureaucratization, as he thought it was a dehumanizing influence. Boston: Allyn & Bacon.

This includes the use of hospitals for childbirth and the use of doctors to identify symptoms of an illness and to prescribe treatment. A potential reason as to why rationalization of a culture may take place in the modern era is the process of globalization. The term was presented by the profoundly influential German antipositivist Max Weber, though its themes bear parallel with the critiques of modernity set forth by a number of scholars. The Social Science Jargon Buster: The Key Terms You Need to Know. Weber, for Habermas, must be not so much stood on his head (or put back the right way up) as persuaded to stand on two legs rather than one, to support his theory of modernity with more systematic and structural analyses than those of the (purposive-rational) rationalization of action ... Weber 'parts company with a theory of communicative action' when he defines action in terms of the actor attaching a subjective meaning to it. 10th ed. Jürgen Habermas has argued that understanding rationalization properly requires going beyond Weber's notion of rationalization. Procedural rationality, the division of labour into smaller and smaller tasks, the taxonomic categorization of different species, and the tendency to view rule-following as morally good all played their role in the Holocaust coming to pass. Found insideSociologist Robert A. Nisbet called it "a moving and deeply felt biographical memoir."

Rationalization is not a term that Max Weber defined in his book Modernity and Society. One important example of rationalization is the profit- making strategy known as planned obsolescence, which involves producing goods that are disposable after a single use, have a shorter life cycle than the industry is capable of producing, or go out of style quickly even though the goods can still serve their purpose.
