Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

Weber traced the rise of individualism to the late 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther (1483-1546) and the Protestant Reformers insisted that each individual must methodically strive to realize a moral and righteous life each and every day, constantly devoted to the glorification of God. The duty of each individual, then, is to glorify God, not seek to appease Him. The calling - the idea that each individual has a calling or "life-task" has its roots in a religious quest for salvation. The individual's salvation was dependent on fulfilling the moral obligation to perform the duties of his labor to the best of his abilities.

Weber defines a "class" as a group that not only shares the same economic situation, but also has a strong sense of community.
