摘要：

Today's students have grown up in a world structured by the forces of rationalization, making it difficult for them to comprehend the scope and magnitude of the transformations Weber described. In this paper we outline a plan for helping students appreciate Weber's theoretical achievements, as well as teaching them to think more critically about what constitutes "the good life" in rationalized societies. We use Ritzer's best-selling book The McDonaldization of Society as a vehicle for encouraging students' interest in Weber's work. We describe a set of field exercises that bring Weber to life and provide rich material for active learning.
