sociology

In one paragraph discuss the context in which Herbert Marcuse was writing and how he related to Weber.
For example you could address the social, economic, or cultural conditions surrounding the theorist at the time of writing, or what is the theorist arguing against or building upon?

In the next 2-3 paragraphs discuss and explain: (1)Repressive desublimation AND (2) Individualistic rationality OR Technological rationality
What is the theorist trying to say? What are the relevant concepts, main arguments, and key quotes from the passage? What can we get out of it as sociologists?

In your final paragraph offer one critique. For example, What are the limitations of the work? How can we improve upon the existing theory? How do the arguments compare to todays world or other theories?
