HOME SOCIOLOGY IN THE NEWS AUTHOR'S MESSAGE Part 1 II. Where Are America's Bureaucrats Located? In this exercise we will attempt to identify which of our fifty states (and Washington, D.C.) has the most (and least) bureaucrats living and working within its boundaries. If we employed a commonsense (and sociologically untutored) view of bureaucratic workers, we would probably assume that all government workers comprise the bureaucratized workforce. If we applied such a definition, we would probably anticipate that Washington, D.C., would represent the center of American bureaucratic life with so many of its residents employed in one or another (of mostly federal) government jobs. Applying this definition of bureaucracy, go to the Census Lookup site and select the STF3C-Part 1 file any By this criterion almost all contemporary workers might be considered bureaucratic employees. The exceptions, of course, would include farmers, owners of mom and pop convenience stores, fishermen, solo practitioner physiciansin short, all self-employed workers. You have to work for someone else to be a bureaucrat. Probably the only sizable group of people remaining today as nonbureaucrats are those running small family farms in rural America. Computing the self-employed percentage from

Primary groups involve two or more people who enjoy direct, intimate, cohesive relationships and are fundamental to both us and society. Expressive ties predominate in primary groups. Secondary groups entail two or more people who are involved in impersonal, touch-and-go relationships. Instrumental ties predominate in secondary groups. In-Groups and Out-Groups. The concepts of in-group and out-group Reference Groups. Reference groups provide the models we use for appraising and shaping our attitudes, feelings, and actions. A reference group may or may not be our membership group. A reference group provides both normative and comparative functions. Group Dynamics The dynamic qualities of groups make them a significant force in human life and important to sociologists.

The term 'bureaucracy' was popularized by Max Weber. According to Weber, bureaucracy is the most efficient type of large-scale human organization. As organizations grow in size, Weber argued, they inevitably tend to become more and more bureaucratized. [Anthony Giddens, Sociology .

Course Overview European Union policy affects us all and much of so-called domestic level policy making reflects the concerns of the EU or indeed, reflects the implementation of EU policy decisions. When a collective EU public policy decision has to be reached, there is a usually a choice of policy options available. The interesting questions are why certain policy option(s) are preferred to others and how collective policy decisions are reached. These are the questions we will explore in this course. This course is also offered to Masters students attending the Dublin European Institute, UCD. B. Course Outline The course will cover the following key topics. With regard to each of the topics listed below, some key reading material is listed which students are advised to read. However, this represents only a small amount of the literature that is available on these topics and students are advised to take a look at the wider reading list also given below.

He clearly explained that pure charisma required the working of miracles, and he specifically mentioned prophecy, telepathy, and weather control as manifestations of pure charisma. Weber’s concepts of rationalization, disenchantment, and bureaucratization are well known. They entail the attenuation and routinization of charisma. As cultures become more rationalized, miracles and magic (i.e., overt control of paranormal and supernatural powers) are suppressed. A variety of institutions are agents for rationalization and disenchantment. Academe is such a force, as are most exoteric religions. Magic and miracles are never fully eliminated from the world, rather they are expelled from the conscious awareness of cultural elites. They view them as fiction. Indeed, large industries portray the paranormal in and as fiction. In financial terms, these industries dwarf those that attempt to apply psychic powers.
