How I Got Here through a criminological angle. I shall summarize Medina’s story, present a simplistic format of the theories I believe were in play in her story, and then connect those theories with her story. Additionally, I want to note that I will only disclose the theories that I consider to have been the most prominent in Medina’s story, since, there is a large number of theories that can rationalize what happened; but perhaps not as apparent. Brenda Medina’s story prior to the arrest…

What’s the relationship between theories and the world to which theories meant to apply? Are there ultimate truth which can be obtained through a series of scientific validation and falsification? Is critical relativism appropriate for scientific research (marketing or consumer research in particular)?

understand that theories are a way of explaining a situation or to prove a course of action that occurs. If the theory is able to explain why certain situation reoccur or demonstrate why certain conditions happen the way they do, then the theory is doing what it is meant to do, therefore making the theory useful. To get a better understanding of what classical realism and neorealism is, there needs to be awareness of what their similarities and differences are. To point out that no one theory…
What is the scientific method some people may ask? In the black box experiment I will be explaining what the scientific method.

Focusing on what Conflict Criminology, Radical Criminology, Peacemaking Criminology, and Postmodern Criminology outline as their assumptions of crime causation may better help social scientists understand individuals’ actions and ultimately assist in preventing crime. Conflict Criminology or theory assumes that the conflicting of interest groups is what society is based on (Bohm & Vogel, 2011). This is because in many cases,…
