environmental factors in behavior

nuclear weapons

Trang 6• Theory; notion; idea
• I entirely disagree with the thesis that free-market capitalism is the most
successful economic approach Although it undoubtedly creates wealth for some, it also perpetuates inequality and results in a great deal of suffering for others
• The thesis that harsh custodial sentences can act as a deterrent to would-be
offenders must be challenged There seems to be no evidence to suggest that
potential criminals decide not to commit crimes simply because they worry about being caught and imprisoned
• The idea that our dreams can predict future events is an interesting thesis
Although there is little scientific evidence to back up this idea, our understanding
of dreams is so limited that we should not fully discount this suggestion
