There is a tendency in modern times to quantify experience, knowledge economy knowledge , and Labour economics work . Means end goal oriented rationality is used to precisely calculate that which is necessary to attain a goal. Its effectiveness varies with the enthusiasm of the workers for the changes being made, the skill with which management applies the rules, and the degree to which the rules fit the job. Rationalization aims at an efficiency increase by better use of existing possibilities A same effect can with fewer means, or with same means to be obtained.

Democratic Rationalization is term used by Andrew Feenberg in his article Subversive Rationalization Technology, Power and Democracy with technology. Feenberg argues against the idea of technological determinism citing flaws in its two fundamental theses. The first is the thesis of unilinear progress . This is the belief that technological progress follows a direct and predictable path from lower to higher levels of complexity and that each stage along this path is necessary for progress to occur Feenberg 211 . The second is the thesis of determination by the base . This is the concept that in a society where a technology had been introduced, that society must organize itself or adapt to the technology Feenberg 211 . In his argument against the former thesis Feenberg says that Constructivist epistemology constructivist studies of technology will lead us to realize that there is not a set path by which development of technologies occur but rather an emerging of similar technologies at the same time leading to a multiple of choices. These choices are made based upon certain social factors and upon examining them we will see that they are not deterministic in nature Feenberg 212 . Arguing against the latter thesis, Feenberg calls to our attention social reforms that have been mandated by governments mainly in regards to the protection of its citizens and laborers. Most of the time these mandates are widely accepted after being passed through the governing body. At which point technology and industry will reform and re evolve to meet the new standards in a way that has greater efficiency than it did so previouisly Feenberg 214 Bibliography Feenberg, Andrew.

pp semi indef pp protect small yes Post purchase rationalization is a cognitive bias whereby someone who purchases an expensive product or service overlooks any faults or defects in order to justify their purchase. It is a special case of choice supportive bias . Expensive purchases often involve a lot of careful research and deliberation, and many consumers will often refuse to admit that their decision was made in poor judgement. Many purchasing decisions are made emotionally, based on factors such as brand loyalty and advertising, and so are often rationalized retrospectively in an attempt to justify the choice. For example, a consumer cannot decide between two popular video game console s, but in the end decides to purchase the one that many of their peers also own. After purchasing it, they may find few games for their console worth purchasing, and more for the console they did not purchase. However, they do not wish to feel they made the wrong decision, and so will attempt to convince themselves, and their peers, that their original choice was the correct one, and the consumer s opinion is better than everyone s opinion, e.g. using wikt sour grapes sour grapes arguments. ref cite journal title The Dissonance Model in Post Decision Product Evaluation author Joel B.

Cleanup date September 2009 sociology The sociology of emotion applies sociological theorems and techniques to the study of human emotions . As sociology emerged primarily as a reaction to the negative affects of modernity , many normative theories deal in some sense with emotion without forming a part of any specific subdiscipline Marx described capitalism as detrimental to personal species being , Simmel wrote of the deindividualizing tendencies of the metropolis , and Weber s work dealt with the Rationalizationsociology rationalizing effect of modernity in general. Theory Emotions are on one hand constitutive of, embedded in, and on the other hand manipulated or instrumentalized by entities that are studied by sociology on a micro level, such as social roles and norms and feeling rules the everyday social interactions and situations are shaped by, and, on a macro level, by social institutions, discourses, ideologies etc. For example, post modern marriage is, on one hand, based on the emotion of love and on the other hand the very emotion is to be worked on and regulated by it. Likewise, modern science could not exist without the emotion of curiosity but it does narrow it leading sometimes to over specialization of science. Many forms of cultural stratification could not exist without disgust and contempt, and there are politics that could not exist without fear, as many civil and ethnic wars could not take place without hate.

This is a term coined by Michael Burawoy as a way of providing solutions to social problems. Goals are usually defined by a client, which could be the government . Policy sociology provides instrumental knowledge, that is, knowledge that can be used to solve or help a specific case in the social world . According to Burawoy, the information gathered from policy sociology is open to an extra academic audience. It is not confined to academic boundaries. The findings of policy sociology research are likely to have an effect on the general public as they could have an impact on government policy.
