Our last new topic this week is bureaucracy. We’ve all experienced some of the problems of bureaucracies (like “red tape”) in our lives at one time or another. To learn more about the sociological view of bureaucracies, please read Chapter 6, pages 119-121.
After you’ve read this section, I’d like you to practice with the concepts you’ve just learned. Please select a bureaucracy you are familiar with (it could be the medical facility you get care at, where you work, or even NOVA). Write a paragraph in which you describe the bureaucracy using terms and concepts from the textbook. Post your paragraph in the discussion board in the forum called “Examples of Bureaucracy Concepts.”
