Based on the three elements of war, it is clear that Clausewitz’s approach to war is a multidimensional system that requires actors to focus on both human and environmental factors that affect the war. Clausewitz uses the term politic to refer to the politics and policies that come into play when engaging in war. In this regard, political actors should consider…

What are the purposes of social work research? What assumptions about the nature of social science research underlie this characterization of social work research? I think social work research is to explain social phenomenon/human behavior, predict social pattern/behavior pattern, and provide guidance for social work practice through empirical studies.

the world is scientific research, the result of which is interpreted with the help of scientific theories. This approach will explain the causal relationship between ineffectiveness of rehabilitative justice and possible causes of it. Epistemology in the research is positivism. Crowther-Dowey and Fussey (2013, p.40) claim that ‘in criminology, those holding the view that drivers of criminal behavior can be objectively identified and categorized, often through the application of the methods and…

instability; Sir More’s Utopia has certainly similar concerns (Davis 334). Moreover, its “radical nature” finds its expression in political thought, Davis explains that: [Utopia] ran athwart the political languages of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; rejecting immemorialism, cutting across constitutionalism, abandoning patriarchalism, classical republicanism and order theory, and turning its back on ideas of sovereignty…it wags its finger at other modes of thought.
