Palmer failed to initiate and execute the proper scientific tasks to shore up their theory (Ward, & Siegert, 2002). They also never bothered to construct their psychological theory so that it duly identified causal mechanisms involved to make certain that the concepts embraced remained consistent and coherently connected (Ward, & Siegert, 2002). Moreover, these evolutionary psychologists never dealt with competing theories (Ward, & Siegert, 2002). The sound principles of scientific inquiry were…

“Kant or Cant: The Myth of Democratic Peace” by Christopher Layne The main argument of Layne is that Democratic Peace Theory (DPT) establishes a correlation between peace and democracies, but fails to create a causal link between the two, and that realism is ‘superior’ in explaining state’s action and behavior. In structural realism, factors in unit level do not change the structure of international politics, and thus democracies and non-democracies respond to rivals in the same way because…

These theories try to make sense of why we perceive what we perceive, how we perceive what we perceive, and what we are actually perceiving whether it be that we are directly perceiving everything in the world or that there is nothing in the world at all. Both of these ideas are popular theories of perception accepted and critiqued by many philosophers. Two…

Derived from the social reaction theory, the labeling theory deals with how offenders react to how society classifies them in which seems to influence further offending as well as more extremely. According to Tibbetts (2012), the theory assumes two perspectives about the people labeled; negative labeling of those living in lower class or minorities and they have no choice but to conform to the theory referred to as hands-off policy.
