About me:
This site is dedicated to The McDonaldization of Society. The goal is to build a community around the concept and those interested in understanding, learning to live with, and/or resisting McDonaldization.
The McDonaldization of Society was first published as a book in 1993. Since then, it has fast become one of the best selling sociology books of all-time. Now in its 5th edition (available now through Amazon.com or Pine Forge Press!), the new version not only includes updates to numbers and references but also a fresh inclusion of contemporary cultural examples and a new chapter exploring the idea of Starbuckization. This edition continues to provide an intriguing insight into the fast changing world of contemporary U.S., and global, society. .. You can view the chapter on "The Starbuckization of Society?" here: http://www.sagepub.com/booksProdSampleMaterials.nav?prodId=Book230918 .. You can also view the student study website here: http://www.pineforge.com/mcdonaldizationstudy5 .. A fun learning game about McDonald's - http://www.mcvideogame.com/index-eng.html .. George Ritzer is currently Distinguished University Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland. He has authored more than 25 books, edited several encyclopedias and handbooks, and is editor of the Journal of Consumer Culture. More information about Professor Ritzer and his other work can be found on his homepage: http://www.bsos.umd.edu/socy/ritzer ..Who I'd like to meet:

Hi there, hope you are well! Just wanted to let you know that my shop- www. crouchingtiger. co. uk has just moved premises and I'm very excited! The new place is bigger and much nicer in Hamlet Court road, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex. We have a new clothing range which includes some really unusual Wing Chun T-Shirts and some great Chinese artwork we've imported as well as our unusually high quality selection of weapons and training aids. We stock the famous Plum Dragon Dit-Da-Jow and our unique three section wall bag! Please feel welcome to drop in and have a look around if you're ever in the area!
Take care & best wishes with whatever you're doing!
Mark & the Crouching Tiger team!

Thanks for the request and for supporting Ms. Roy!
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." - Arundhati Roy
thanks for the add. Who made this site? how did you find me? I am studying sociology and I love Ritzer's book. I'm interested in studying how mcDonaldization applies to film and movies.
Hey thanks for the add. I loved the book. Was real interesting and Sociology was my favorite subject in college. Peace out!
