The era that we’re in right now is the era of science. I believe science has done a great service to the world. We are rational…

People’s experiences, ideologies and systematic reasoning develop the basis of theories (Robbins, Pranab & Edward 376, Hutchinson 26). In social work, theories both help us evaluate and comprehend human behavior, society, individual and social problems, and the relationships between them (Robbins et al. 375, Hutchinson 26).

Individuals treasure the idea that they have the freedom to decide the outcome of their lives and abilities. It’s a theory that gives us control and responsibility of our own lives and distinguishes humans from other animals.

decision-making (entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator and negotiator). However this model came under scrutiny by competing theorists. The author used many examples and refers to experiments done by other academics to criticize Mintzberg’s theory. McCall and Segrist (1980) limited the number of roles Mintzberg claimed, on the basis that certain roles overlapped each other and could not be called separate. Lau, Newman and Broedling (1980) limited the model to four factors…

Theories provide the whys for development, which theories are organized ideas that explain development. There are five different theories, which I believe that all five have influenced development in my life.
