Why do we consent to the social order of our crisis-driven, competitive world? Choose a concrete example of this world, anything from the alienation of our daily relationships to the global response to climate change, and analyze it through both Karl Marx’s theory of ruling ideology and Max Weber’s thesis on rationalization. After illustrating how both classical sociologists would understand your example, conclude by discussing which one offers the more persuasive perspective and why you think so.
Cite the readings (author’s name and page number) to support your sociological claims. The essays will be graded on the originality and insight of your analysis and the accuracy and depth with which they integrate course ideas.
