Vagueness

everything I had learned from my past English teachers and apply it to my first real attempt at a timed essay that needed deep analysis. I used weak wording such as “In the first paragraph” and “in the first couple of chapters”; this created a feeling of vagueness that carried throughout the rest of my essay.

with one of the criticisms of the neutralization theory, I battled with the justification prior to ever engaging in any act of deviance. As a result, I talked myself out of joining my peers at the weekly house parties. This criticism exploits the vagueness of the theory in the sense that it can either justifying the deviance after the act or deterring the individual prior to committing the act of deviance.
