Assignment:
What connections can be drawn between Max Weber's life story and his theory? How did childhood, education, work and personal relationships shape his sociological ideas and research?
I am aware that Weber's father had a political career and his mother was Calvinist. I need someone to break this down in "lay" terms. I have read tons of articles and I am just not getting the language of it. I need an explanation on a level that I can better understand. I don't know what his "theory" is and how his life has connected to that. Also...education, childhood, work and personal relationships...how did they have an affect on his sociological ideas and research.
Please do not link me to any articles or make your entire response based on an article as I've already read most of them and don't understand them.
