1. List and give a brief description of the six characteristics of bureaucracy (Weber).
2. Define “the workplace rule of law” and “self activity”. (Brody)
3. At the bottom of page 220, Weber compares bureaucratic organization and authority to “all democratic currents” that seek to minimize authority. In these few paragraphs, Weber suggests that popular democracy spurs the development of bureaucracy, yet popular democracy is simultaneously opposed to bureaucratically produced democracy because “mass democracy [and] public opinion [are] communal conduct born of irrational sentiments”, it is “subjective justice oriented toward some concrete instance…and…will unavoidably collide with the formalism and the rule-bound matter-of-factness of bureaucratic administration.” Question: What do you think Weber is trying to argue?
