The strengths of using the social cognitive theory when applied to drug addiction are that it takes a multidimensional approach to implement primary prevention strategies.

because in order to live an intrinsically good life, one must have emotion combined with reason, to guide what is the best course of action for him or her. Stoics believe people do not always know the right thing to do, therefore can be deceived. Their views of deception comes from their belief that emotions are intrinsically bad.

It is a situational matter, “test to see if the mammal can be moved to inaction or action by the force of reasoned argument.” If we test almost any immature mammal we would get the same result.
