Performance Theory
Few have had quite as much impact in both the academy and in the world of theatre production as Richard Schechner.For more than four decades his work has challenged conventional definitions of theatre, ritual and performance.When this seminal collection first appeared, Schechner's approach was not only novel, it was revolutionary: drama is not just something that occurs on stage, but something that happens in everyday life, full of meaning, and on many different levels.Within these pages he examines the connections between Western and non-Western cultures, theatre and dance, anthropology, ritual, performance in everyday life, rites of passage, play, psychotherapy and shamanism.

Offender Rehabilitation : Theory, Research and Practice
'Robinson and Crow have achieved the seemingly impossible: a book about rehabilitation that transcends the "medical model", that is original and contemporary yet grounded in a sophisticated history, and most of all that is fun to read.It will become a new classic text in a field that has been crying out for one' - Professor Shadd Maruna, Queen's University, Belfast 'In an age where there is much public and political confusion about many criminal justice matters, this book brings considerable clarity to the idea of rehabilitation, its theoretical and historical roots, and contemporary practical application. This is an accessible, lively, and critical account of a concept which is central to the shape of the criminal justice system in pursuance of something that will "work" to reduce reoffending. "Rehabilitation" seems to go in and out of fashion depending on the politics of the day, but the careful and thorough examination of the different contexts in which it operates and competing perspectives on its potential offered here highlights its enduring qualities. This is a fascinating and engaging book by two established and "real world" scholars which will serve students and policy makers alike in the fields of criminal justice and social policy' - Loraine Gelsthorpe, Reader in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Institute of Criminology, University of CambridgeThis comprehensive text explains all the key themes in the development and practice of offender rehabilitation.

What are identity theory and competition theory?
Identity theory is a sociological perspective that focuses on how individuals develop and maintain a sense of self and identity through their interactions with others and their social environment. It emphasizes the importance of social roles, relationships, and cultural influences in shaping one's identity. Competition theory, on the other hand, is a perspective that examines how competition for resources, power, and status shapes social relationships and structures. It emphasizes the role of competition in driving social change, inequality, and conflict within societies. Both theories offer valuable insights into the ways in which individuals and societies are shaped by their social interactions and the broader social context.

Is the Big Bang Theory just a theory?
The Big Bang Theory is more than just a theory; it is a well-supported scientific model that explains the origin and evolution of the universe. It is supported by a wide range of observational evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies. The theory has also made successful predictions about the abundance of light elements in the universe. While it is called a "theory," in scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. Therefore, the Big Bang Theory is a robust and widely accepted scientific explanation for the origin of the universe.

Why is the Two-Source Theory a theory?
The Two-Source Theory is considered a theory because it proposes a specific explanation for the literary relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This theory suggests that Matthew and Luke used Mark's Gospel as a source, as well as another common source known as "Q" (from the German word "Quelle," meaning source). While the Two-Source Theory is widely accepted among biblical scholars, it is still a theory because it is based on scholarly analysis and interpretation of the textual similarities and differences between the Gospels, rather than definitive historical evidence.
-
Is the theory of evolution still a theory?

In scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. The theory of evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific disciplines, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. It has undergone rigorous testing and scrutiny, and continues to be a foundational concept in the field of biology. Therefore, it is still considered a valid and widely accepted scientific theory.

Dependency theory, on the other hand, focuses on the idea that developing countries are exploited and kept in a state of underdevelopment by more powerful, industrialized nations.

What are the extremism theory and the horseshoe theory?
Extremism theory posits that extremist ideologies on opposite ends of the political spectrum share similar characteristics, such as intolerance, authoritarianism, and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals. Horseshoe theory suggests that the far-left and far-right ideologies are more similar to each other than to the moderate center, forming a horseshoe shape where the extremes bend towards each other.
