How Does Mcdonaldization Affect Our Daily Life

How does McDonaldization does affect us in our daily life? I was just talking to some friends on this exact topic. It seems like our world has lost the art of Communication. Everywhere I turned if it’s applying for a job I have to go online to apply. If I want to call and talk to family or friends, they prefer me to text them because they’re too busy to talk or it’s easier that way. I work in a call-center and even there it’s mandatory to have instant messaging up to speak with my co-workers or even my manager! What happened to the “Open Door Policy” where you can have that one-on-one interaction? Social media have come to dominate our society, there’s no more privacy everything is on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Myspace and others. Our
society wants more the fastest, easiest way of doing everything!
Calling in to speak to someone regarding your bills, you first have to go thru the automated voice system and once you finally get thru your repeating yourself again to the “live agent”. Cooking a home cooked meal is almost none existence it’s easier to by fast food that is unhealthy, more expensive and time consuming (waiting in lines and drive-thru). Reading about McDonaldization is slowly dehumanizing society. Our skills, capabilities are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Who we are and how we interact (including our children) is becoming more and more dependence on the McDonaldization.
