Annotation

Based on J. Ritzer's idea of McDonaldisation as a type of rationality that takes place in modern society, the author proves the validity of projecting this interpretation onto the space of childhood. The author's definitions of such concepts as "McDonaldisation of childhood" and "reflexivity of childhood" are also given. The author discusses the understanding of the tendency of globalisation of childhood and describes the features of McDonaldisation of childhood as one of the types of rationality of modern society.
