From the Paper:

"Topic 3: Understanding Social Change and Protestant Capitalism in the Classical Sociology of Max Weber This sociological study will examine the role of Protestantism and capitalism in the philosophy of Max Weber. By discovering the roots of capitalism within the "sober bourgeois capitalism" Weber defines a far less spiritually based society that has become commodity based through varying levels of labor and capitalistic institutions. In essence, Weber is seeking to imply that the role of idea and beliefs in social change partially rely on the moral of money and the building of a rigid social hierarchy that depends on capitalistic religious institutions. The rationality that was espoused in the Protestant ethic revolves around the basis for Weber's critical perspective on how capital became highly functional, especially in certain ascetic traditions within the religious sect."
