Weber August 1 Reading

To me this reading has made me think a little bit more about religion and the way that it deals with inequality. Weber comes to the conclusion early on in the text that religions pre-decide what careers you take and what actions you make in life. To me this shows that Weber has turned the way of talking about inequality into something a little bit more than what Rousseau, Marx, Smith, and Durkheim. I interpreted this reading as Weber saying that the Protestants and Catholics seem to predestine what everyone should do, and because of this there is an inequality because they as man themselves cannot decide things for themselves.

Being raised in a religious family and very religious background this reading makes me think about some of the ways that my religion has been all "predestined" and meant to happen for a reason and I found that Weber is bringing up points that show this creates people as unequal. To me i feel like many of the points that he made are in modern society today.
