Rational Software

Such development practice qualifies XP to be an agile method of software development. Citing Don well (1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2009) Extreme Programming improves a software project in five essential ways; communication, simplicity, feedback, respect, and courage. This can be likening as the software architectural process of an agile software designing. These five essentials are to ensure that all necessary objectives are met in software design using Agile method. Team members are treated with…

western countries. Some of their hypothesis and assumptions were shown as right without any scientific proofs. The rational and control theories are in this debate from ages. Some argues these are perfect and should use as a major criminology theories but some disagree. Both theories are very complex and flexible which is the main reason why they still exist and working. In brief, rational choice theory means that every…

What are the key elements of Rational Choice Theory? • Beeson and Firth (1998) ‘Neoliberalism as a political rationality: Australian public policy since the 1980’s’, Journal of Sociology, Vol 34. Pp 215-231 In Beeson and Firth’s article, I gain a further insight into the conception of liberalism and the implementation of rational choice theory, specifically focusing on economic gain and wealth. The authors thoroughly researched the introduction of liberalism in the 1900’s and the resurgence…

II. Brief description of the role that uncertainty plays in economic theory/models and contrast this perspective with the sociological account Since Knight (2005), the monetarist models use assumptions of perfect information and imperfect with respect to the future. With the emergence of imperfect information the economist stated that it can be predicted by stochastic variables (random) from the probabilistic point of view, one can calculate the costs and benefits of different actions present…

authority based on the type of legitimacy claimed therein; legal-rational authority; traditional authority, and charismatic authority. Each type, according to Weber, endows its ruler with a justifiable right to rule,…

understanding his tools, targeting particular houses, and studying the items he intended to take. This all points to Nordahl’s ability to make rational decisions as to when and where to commit a crime; a characteristic also noted by Siegel. A study found in Criminology of burglars in Texas came to the same conclusion that successful burglars use rational decision making to evaluate the costs and benefits of their actions (Siegel 387). While overwhelming evidence exists classifying Nordahl as a…

financial, pleasure, or some other beneficial result. The Rational Choice Theory perspective as presented by Cornish and Clark (1985) is based upon three concepts; (one) criminal offenders are rational and make choices and decisions that benefit themselves; (two) a crime- specific focus is required; and (three) there is a distinction between choices related to criminal involvement and decisions related to criminal events. The theory of rational choice theory examines offender decision making…

everyday based on what the reward will be and what the consequence are. But for an offender/criminal the reward is much greater than the consequence and/or punishment. Their choice is called the Rational Choice Theory. They rationalize that the reason they commit…

formations are the cornerstone for understanding rational behavior. However, the expectation of rationality in all situations may be unrealistic, due to time and cognitive constraints. This does not undermine the fundamentals of economics, however, indicates that current models and definitions of economic decision-making do not take into account all pertinent variables. Take for example Herbert Simon’s (1982) bounded rationality. He suggested that a rational actor is cognitively limited by the…

Rational choice theory was first proposed during the Enlightenment era by the Italian social philosopher Cesare Beccaria who posited that individuals were rational beings, endowed with free will, and who consciously decide to engage in certain behaviors and not in others (Humphrey & Schmalleger, 2012). In his book On Crime and Punishment, Beccaria furthers his hypothesis by developing the hedonistic principle in which he proposes that individuals seek to maximize their pleasure and minimize…
