Critiquing The Group Presentation On William Perry

The purpose of this paper is to provide a critique of the group presentation on William Perry. Through critiquing the presentation, I will offer additional information about William Perry’s theory and provide context for how my understanding of the theory has grown.
A key part of the Perry’s theory is that the positions aren’t achieved by all, and don’t necessarily happen quickly. As our critique pointed out, we did not make this clear in the presentation. The way we presented the positions it could easily have been construed as every individual goes through all of the stages at a rapid pace. The majority of the theories learned throughout class emphasize that not all positions or stages are always reached, and Perry’s theory is no different.
