You have now reviewed the five principles of McDonaldization:

Efficiency

Calculability

Predictability

Control; and

Irrationality of rationality.

You have also examined how they affect your life.

INSTRUCTIONS:

In this fourth and final journal entry, take a synthetic look at the issue, to assess the impact of McDonaldization in your life.

First, think about how much McDonaldization you think is present in your life, providing some examples.

Then, consider whether you would like this to change, by reflecting on the positive and negative consequences of McDonaldization for you, including a consideration of our core value of community. You may want to focus on only one or two changes.

Finally, think about how you might go about implementing such change(s), also thinking how that might relate to the core value of community.
