Douglas Kellner Wrote: Occupy Movements as Media Spectacle, 16 January 2012 Monday 9:0. By Douglas Kellner"In societies dominated by modern conditions of production, life is presented as an immense accumulation of spectacles.
Everything that was directly lived has receded into a representation. " -Guy Debord- In the past decades, media spectacle has become a dominant form in which news and information, politics, war, entertainment, sports, and scandals are presented to the public and circulated through the matrix of old and new media and technologies. By “media spectacles” I am referring to media constructs that present events which disrupt ordinary and habitual flows of information, and which become popular stories which capture the attention of the media and the public, and circulate through broadcasting networks, the Internet, social networking, cell phones, and other new media and communication technologies.

George Ritzer Interview. To what extent do you think McDonald's threats of lawsuits and censorship are an attempt to control their public image?
Well, I think they are certainly not the first or alone in trying to control the public image that they have, and of course their public image has been very important to them. I suppose it could be related to the control idea, you are accustomed to controlling everything else so why not try to control that public image. The McDonaldization of Higher Education? - Christian Garland - Fast Capitalism 4.1. Christian Garland “But if we probe a little deeper, we discover that despite all these manifestations, man’s way of thinking and acting is not progressing as much as one might be led to believe.
On the contrary, the principles now underlying the actions of men, at least in a large portion of the world, are certainly more mechanical than in other periods when they were grounded in living consciousness and conviction. Technological progress has helped to make it even easier to cement old illusions more firmly, and to introduce new ones into the minds of men without interference from reason.” The McDonaldization of Society. Sociology 1010 Robert Keel, Instructor George Ritzer has taken central elements of the work of Max Weber, expanded and updated them, and produced a critical analysis of the impact of social structural change on human interaction and identity.
The central theme in Weber's analysis of modern society was the process of Rationalization; a far reaching process whereby traditional modes of thinking were being replaced by an ends/means analysis concerned with efficiency and formalized social control.
