Ritzer's Main Ideas
Although known as a sociologist, Ritzer has never received a degree in sociology proper. As Ritzer said in a later interview “I basically trained myself as a social theorist, and so I had to learn it all as I went.” Furthermore, Ritzer found that not being trained in social theory was advantageous for him, simply because his reasoning was not limited to a particular theoretical perspective.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or ideas:
“Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesn’t look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, “we will all die”, and she calls on the good Lord.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“Olympian bards who sung
Divine ideas below,
Which always find us young,
And always keep us so.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
