For Max Weber, you could start with his overall view that things must be meaningful and rational. He believed that sociology as a social science needs to put oneself in the place of another in order to gather some subjective data. He then emphasized that it should still be objective and empirical analysis of the data.

I'd start with understanding his four-model system of rationality because it's what he emphasizes, and ironically, is a large criticism of his work. He advocated for bureaucracy as being the best system for effective work because it requires people to be trained, have rules laid out, administrative decisions are written down on paper, specific resources are allocated to specific places, people become impersonal, people are organized into their own little rooms, etc... . He then gave the idea of "iron cage" and religion as an escape.

He did lots of work in numerous areas, so begin with whichever part you want.

Unlike people such as Parsons and Marx, he tries to take multiple views at something, although because he was writing his works some time ago, he gets criticized for not including women as most of sociology didn't. I always find it ironic how sociology attempts to study a society yet excludes about half of its constituents.

For some reason I totally thought "eastern" meant "western" ... rofl. I live in Western Mass and literally EVERYWHERE was closed besides where I live (Springfield). A ton of kids skipped and my calc teacher refused to teach and put the superintendant's phone number on the board. It was TERRIBLE. Like there were a bunch of accidents and there were so many complaints that the superintendant gave a formal apology. But all of our snow & rain was early morning (like 2AM) until early afternoon.

I'm a fan of pretty much any music. I'm just moving from a Skillet phase into an Evanescense phase though lol. hbu?
