Rationalization is the core component of modernization process &&num;8212&semi; when traditional societies become more rational they transform into modern societies&period; Which implies that&comma; traditional societies are based on non-rational rules and procedures whereas&comma; modern societies are based on rational rules and procedures&period; Non-rational does not mean that the norms of pre-modern societies did not make any sense however&comma; it insinuates that the norms of pre-modern societies are based on traditional values or traditions&period; As institutions are established within societies in order to tend to the certain needs of individuals or to achieve certain goals&period; However&comma; Pre-modern societies are not interested in the efficiency of rules and procedures which lead to the accomplishment institutional goals or objectives&period; Instead&comma; these societies ensure that means of accomplishing objectives should be in accordance to the tradition values of society &&num;8212&semi; regardless of outcome&period; Whereas&comma; modern societies are focus on maximizing the efficiency in order to achieve institutional objectives&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Max Weber is among one of the founding fathers of sociology&period; He pioneered and presented the theory of rationalization&period; Rationalization refer to the formal rules regulation and procedures&period; He believed that societies evolve due to the advancement of science&comma; technology&comma; expending capitalism and bureaucratization as well as&comma; advancement such as these take place because of rationalization&period; Traditional societies transform into modern societies because traditions are replaced by intellectual or rational rules and procedures within social institutions&period; He argued that&comma; due to the advent of rational rules and procedures&comma; all the incalculable forces are eliminated from economic structure of modern societies&period; Whereby&comma; means and procedures of production are adjusted systematically in order to obtain and maximize profit&period; In addition to predictability of outcome and maximization of efficiency individuals also become professional and organized within modern societies&period; However&comma; rational rules are only concerned with maximization of efficiency without considering individuals concerns&period; No matter if these rules and procedures are boring or exhausting for individuals&period; Weber acknowledges that&comma; rationalization is no doubt responsible for many social advancement but&comma; over a time it will become bad thing&period; When rationalization increase within a given society individuals will feel trapped in cage of formal rules and procedures&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Written by&semi; Khushdil Khan Kasi<&sol;p>&NewLine;<&excl;--CusAds0-->&NewLine;<div style&equals;"font-size&colon;
