gh for us, there is always going to be something better than what we already have. I have noticed people who have incredible wealth are still not completely satisfied. Where does it end? This is when I think of the iron cage. We the sheep of society are trapped in the never satisfied vicious cycle of the iron cage (PE pg. 181). Weber states that through the development of capitalism he is unsure of where society will end up. His question is, will we continue on living in an iron cage or somehow break away from the cycle of wealth equals happiness (PE pg. 182)? I feel that Weber has some incredible insights, which have helped me understand though we have this agency to do what we want we still need a direction. Personally, I think structure is our daily life. We have a normal routine that we go through everyday to make money. We are free to quit this routine weather its a job or school at any given time (agency), yet we would fall in the trap of no structure for our lives. I think that Weber would constitute my life style as agency with structure. My parents have helped guide me in the direction of going to school, getting good grades, and then going for that deserving job which will support my future. I have the agency to take many different avenues with this structure. I am certain that my life will go accordingly towards the direction of my happiness. This thought gives me feelings of freedom to have a choice in where I am going and what I believe. Iron cage or not, I think that the big picture here is whether we are happy with our lives....
