Functionalism is a consensus structuralist theory‚ which sees the source of crime and deviance located in the structure of society. Although crime and deviance might be stigmatised in society‚ some sociologist think it is important to have it occur and there are some benefits to it.

two weaknesses‚ these two weaknesses that I am going to evaluate are that it is difficult to prove and the mechanistic reductionism. The cognitive approach is difficult to prove that it works because thoughts are not observable and are not measurable. This is a weakness because physiologist have to rely on the truthfulness of patients because there is no solid evidence what the patient thoughts are. The second weakness I am going to evaluate is the fact that the cognitive approach has a mechanistic

In 1974 the researchers Baddeley and Hitch argued that the picture of short-term memory (STM) provided by the Multi-Store Model was far too simple. Following the Multi-Store Model‚ it is believed that STM holds limited amounts of information for short periods of time with relatively little processing‚ it is believed to be a unitary store. This means that due to its single store it has no subsystems‚ unlike the Working Memory Model which has many subsystems. This proves that the Working Memory is

Under the traditional economic understanding‚ it is always assumed that profit maximization is treated as the main goal or objective for businesses‚ subject to perfect knowledge‚ single entity and rational logic.

Past examples have shown that managers do take their own personal goals and satisfactions as consideration
