ABOUT-
  To what extent is your life McDonaldized? Students will critically analyze their everyday life using the four principles of McDonaldization (efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control) to answer this question in a series of journal entries written throughout the semester. Drawing on specific examples, they will decide how much or how little their life is McDonaldized, and state how this impacts their relationships, their sense of identity, and their choices in life.
