What will be an ideal response
George Ritzer uses the term "McDonaldization" to refer to the standardization of everyday life that results in the robot-like assembly of food, one-stop shopping, familiar franchises, packaged vacation tours – all the outward signs of an efficient and highly dependable, but predictable, lifestyle. While McDonaldization can increase efficiency and predictability, it also results in a reduction of spontaneity and creativity, thus producing a bland sameness and further entrapping individuals in Weber's "iron cage."
