SOC 302 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: George Ritzer
Document Summary
We live in a goal orientated era, in which failure is not an option. Consequently, human skills and capabilities are set aside and we can forget about learning and creativity. In my opinion, innovation and passion should be reignited and the system should be rehumanized. It is obvious, that fast food is not healthy, because it is high in fat, sugar and salt, it often has been genetically modified and it has low nutritional values. Even though we all know the certainly irrational adverse health effects of fast-food, we keep consuming it and what is worst, we develop dependency upon this system. In addition, fast food is also unhealthy for the environment, as it emits greenhouse gases.
