Isn't this taking the current categorization craze a bit toooo far? What do you mean Ritzer is a writer? Well of course, anyone who's ever written a note or filled in a form could be called a "writer", but wouldn't we refer to Ritzer as a sociologist rather than having such an ambiguous term? <KF> 10:50, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

So you don't think much of Ritzer. Lets look at his work a bit more objectivly shall we? -- 11:06, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for some specifics...

I've been looking all over the web for sites or books that give information pertaining to Ritzer's life such as major events in his life and so forth. Any help would be greatly appreciated. lcs02@mhc.edu

[edit] Nothing at all.

This article could use some information on Rizter's thoughts and theories on 'nothing' in consumer culture. Seems all Ritzer is ever noted for is his thesis on McDonaldization... --Meestah-k 03:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
