For our purposes, one of the most important distinctions is among theories that mainly empathetic, scienti c, or ideological. Outlines the fact that lead to a speci c outcome. There are no theories that argue one or another. Confusing or blurring the line between is and ought . Ideological assumptions do not make it a bad theory, it depends on perspective. This type of an explanation includes subjective (inner feelings) as well as objective (viewed from outside). Subjective, attempts to understand the perceptions and decisions of the actors. (forces u to think more about morality and assumptions) Empathy, has limits, we wont emphasize with someone that murdered someone or raped.
