I’m pursuing a minor in Sociology, so when we discussed Max Weber’s influence on rationalization of modern-life, I was able to relate a lot of his other sociological theories to this lesson. He argued that the key invention of the modern-age is information management, or record-keeping. That sounds mundane to us today, however, the lack of rationalization of records and uniformity didn’t exist during/right after the Cold War. I drew similarities to Weber’s three-component theory of stratification, including class, status, and power. His theory was a way to form rationalization within society, so similar to Montgomery Meigs made sure there was a standard uniform, Weber used his theory to create rationalization in society.
