Choice theory

James, as many others, believed that Clifford’s theory was too harsh and at the same time too narrow minded. James defended religious faith in particular, but some of the examples he uses in his essay suggest that maybe his views on the ethics of belief go beyond the subject of religion. His main objective…

Free will has always been something that I thought was obvious to be true. However, after learning different perspectives and theories about the matter, I am not so confident in my conclusion. Free will versus determinism has been debated by philosophers for millennia. These major ideas of discussion have a variety of different interpretations. Whether we are deciding between major, life changing paths, or simply, opting to wear a sweater instead of a t-shirt on a given day; the selections we…

It’s basically setting choices up in a way that the only option that seems more reasonable is the option that benefits the oppressor the most. The example we discussed in class was about the robber and whether he should kill you or take your money. This shows that exact example of manipulation. The robber limits the choices and makes the choice you are most likely to choose, the choice that favors them. “... by manipulating the intended victim’s perception…

embraces several theories providing the best explanations that would help reduce crime rates. Because of that, crime science is essentially seen as outcome-focused. Crime reduction may be achieved by preventing crime from happening in the first place or by catching the offenders more quickly and reliably after the event (detection). In 2002 Ron Clarke found several theories especially important for crime science: routine activity theory, crime pattern analysis and rational choice theory. All of…

Groceries or the newest iPhone? Rent or the concert in a week? College tuition or a trip to Europe? Regularly, decisions similar to the ones before are made on a constant basis. In an ideal world, the choices wouldn't seem so difficult to pick from; buy what one needs now and apply the leftover money for pleasurable activities. This adds to the process of consumerism, the basic element that creates a country run by its people buying and selling goods. Then again, the world isn't flawless, and…

The theories of crime and delinquency are used to explain the principle of the crime committed and provides a supportive argument into the motive and compensation of the individual’s actions. Sociological theories of crime focus’ on a macro level around three of its leading theories: strain theory, social learning theory and control theory. There are…

Many theories concerning classroom management vary in practices, discipline, responsibility and control. Three such theories are Glasser’s Choice Theory; Kaplan and Carter’s Cognitive behavourial theory; and Alberto and Troutman’s Applied Behavioural Analysis. Each falls along a continuum for the above variations. In addition, each have strengths and weaknesses, but collectively meet the various needs of the classroom. Therefore, it is appropriate to explore these theories to understand their…

Rational choice theory (RCT) and situational crime prevention (SCP) are two different things, but they go hand-in-hand. The two articles discussed in this paper are surrounding this topic. The first article written by Hayward criticized RCT and SCP, while Farrell’s article countered Hayward. Farrell’s argument was more compelling than Hayward’s stating that RCT and SCP are the best theories to follow, although they do have room for improvement. First let’s define what rational choice theory,…
