Provide some comments on the significance of McDonaldization for your example. Do you believe McDonaldization makes the organization you observed operate better or not? Why or why not? Define and describe the concept of the “irrationality of rationality” and describe whether or not this concept is seen in your selected organization. Why or why not?

Is McDonaldization in any way beneficial for your own social experiences?
