This blog is dedicated to the study of culture through the sociological lens. Culture has many elements to include material and non-material things. Elements can include symbols, language, art, values, beliefs, and norms. Culture also includes mass media sometimes considered "pop" culture.
Can you resist rationalization? Rationalization is a process in which one loses their own self autonomy. You are no longer able to make your own decisions and you get caught up in the iron cage of bureacratization. The most recent example that I can use can be found with Monsanto, who on the surface seems like an everyday business. However, what most people do not know is that Monsanto has rationalized the way in which farmers produce their crop. The clip below will demonstrate rationalization of our food production.
