Discussion of George Ritzer's work and ideas of McDonaldization. McDonaldization is

the rest of the world. There are steps that can be taken to cope with McDonaldization.
However, I hold little hope that such actions, even if they were all to be employed by
many people, would reverse the trend toward McDonaldization."
