	Social Justice Theory
		The theory is often associated with harsh punishment, and the phrase "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" is a commonly heard justification for this theory.
		Unlike the theory of social evolutionism, which views the evolution of society and human history as progressing in some new, unique direction(s), social cycle theory argues that events and stages of society and history are repeating themselves in cycles and thus there cannot be any social progress.

	Social theory - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Social theory refers to the use of abstract and often complex theoretical frameworks to explain and analyze social patterns and large-scale social structures.
		Though many commentators consider social theory a branch of sociology, it functions inherently in an interdisciplinary manner, as it uses ideas from and contributes to a plethora of disciplines such as anthropology, economics, theology, history, and many others.
		They differed on where that path would lead: social progress, technological progress, decline or even fall, etc. Social cycle theorists were much more skeptical of the Western achievements and technological progress, however, arguing that progress is but an illusion in of the ups and downs of the historical cycles.

	Sociology
		Social theory refers to the use of abstract and often complex theoretical frameworks to explain and analyze social patterns and macro social structures in social life, rather than explaining patterns of social life.
		In the 19th century three great, classical theories of social and historical change were created: the social evolutionism theory (of which social darwinism is a part of), the social cycle theory and the Marxist historical materialism theory.
		Modern social theories represent some advanced version of the classical theories, like Multilineal theories of evolution (neoevolutionism, sociobiology, theory of modernisation, theory of post-industrial society) or the general historical sociology and the theory of subjectivity and creation of the society.

		Social theory emerged at the same time as modernity and was largely equated with an attitude of critical thinking, based on rationality, logic and objectivity, and the desire for knowledge through ‘aposteriori’ methods of discovery, rather than ‘apriori’ methods of tradition.

	Social cycle theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social cycle theory (also known as sociological theory of cycles) is one of the earliest social theories in sociology.
		Unlike the theory of social evolutionism, which views the evolution of society and human history as progressing in some new, unique direction(s), social cycle theory argues that events and stages of society and history are repeating themselves in cycles and thus there cannot be any social progress.
		Interpretation of history as the repeating cycles of events was first put forward in the academic world in the 19th century in historiosophy (a branch of historiography) and was soon adopted by sociology.

	Kondratieff Long Wave Cycles Past and Present
		Since, the last Kontratyev cycle ended around 1949, we have seen beneficial inflation 1949-1966, stagflation 1966-1982, beneficial deflation 1982-2000 and according to Kondratieff, we are now in the (winter) deflation cycle which should lead to depression.
		A Kondratieff cycle consists of four distinct phases, or distinguishable, dramatic mood changes, the tone of which determines the actions of individuals involved in the economy.
		The process of social unrest builds with growth culminating in massive shifts in the way work is defined and the role of the participants in society.

	Malthus' Social Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		For many social thinkers in the 18th and 19th centuries social evolutionary thought was linked to "progress"--the ultimate triumph of some principle or condition such as equality, material wealth, freedom, science, or reason.
		Social movements arose in the 19th century—many calling themselves “Malthusian” —movements that warned of out of control population growth and that advocated the distribution of various birth control devices.
		The poor laws are in the interests of both the rich and the state (the elite), Malthus claims, because poor laws have the effect of stimulating higher birthrates among the laboring classes—thus lowering the cost of labor for both manufacture and armies (#53).

	A General Theory of Social Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Social system beliefs include but are not limited to those about the abilities, capabilities, justification, anticipation, etc of the system, external systems it cooperates and competes with and the external environment as a whole.
		In practical terms, a social system is a collective of two or more individuals that agree and combine cognitive constructs and physical reality to create and maintain an entity that relates and transacts with other systems in the same domain.
		Moreover, it is the proposition of this general theory of social systems that the revelation of Chaos is in the identification and measurement of Ambition, Values, and Fulfillment (AVF) in deterministic differential equations.

		Social Influence Motivation Theory suggests that, "since the practice of management relies heavily in on social influence processes, social influence motivation as measured by power motivation, measure of desire for influence, or measures of prosocial influence motivation (often inappropriately labeled dominance), will be predictive of managerial success and leader effectiveness."

	Erikson's Stages
		All of the stages in Erikson's epigenetic theory are implicitly present at birth (at least in latent form), but unfold according to both an innate scheme and one's up-bringing in a family that expresses the values of a culture.
		Erikson's theory of ego psychology holds certain tenets that differentiate his theory from Freud's.
		Criticisms of his theories, in addition to the factors discussed in class, have noted that he did no statistical research to generate his theories, and it is very hard to test his theories in order to validate them.

		Sociology is a social science on the study of the social lives of people, groups, and societies, sometimes defined as the study of social interactions.
		While nowadays social theory is considered a branch of sociology, it is inherently interdisciplinary, as it deals with multiple scientific areas such as anthropology, economics, theology, history, and many others.
		Instead, they tackle very large-scale social trends and structures using hypotheses that cannot be easily proved, except by the history and time, which is often the basis of criticism from opponents of social theories.

	The Social Learning Theory of Julian B. Rotter
		The Depression powerfully influenced Rotter to be aware of social injustice and the effects of the situational environment on people.
		Even learning approaches at the time were dominated by drive theory, which held that people are motivated by physiologically-based impulses that press the individual to satisfy them.
		The main idea in Julian Rotter's Social Learning Theory is that personality represents an interaction of the individual with his or her environment.

	Sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social interactions and their consequences are the subject of sociology.
		A sociologist studies the social rules and processes that organize people in society as individuals and as members of associations, groups, and institutions, as well as how these rules and processes develop.
		As early as the 19th century, positivist and naturalist approaches to studying social life were questioned by scientists like Wilhelm Dilthey and Heinrich Rickert, who argued that the natural world differs from the social world because of unique aspects of human society such as meanings, symbols, rules, norms, and values.

	SSRN-Social Security, Bequests, and the Life Cycle Theory of Saving: Cross-Sectional Tests by Alan Blinder, Roger ...
		No matter how they are defined, assets are a decreasing function of the number of children--which casts doubt on the strength of the bequest motive.
		The specification is generalized to allow for (a) a bequest motive, proxied by the number of children; (b) displacement of private wealth by social security wealth that is not exactly dollar-for dollar; (c) a level of consumption late in life that differs systematically from what the strict life-cycle theory implies.
		According to the estimates, consumption late in life is on average only about half of what the strict life-cycle theory predicts; each dollar of social security wealth displaces about 39 cents (with a large standard error) of private wealth; and the bequest motive, while present, is quite weak.

		Group theory can be considered the study of symmetry: the collection of symmetries of some object preserving some of its structure forms a group; in some sense all groups arise this way.
		Group theory takes an abstract approach, dealing with many mathematical systems at once and requiring only that a mathematical system obey a few simple rules, seeking then to find properties common to all systems that obey these few rules.

	French Social Theory-Mike Gane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Providing the most satisfactory, provocative and up-to-date account of modern French social thought available, this book details how the current fin-de-cycle situation has its roots in the fouding period of modern sociology at the birth of the social.
		Divides French social theory into three logically coherent cycles: 1800-1880 (the first developments of sociology); 1880-1940 (classical sociology and the birth of modern anthropology); 1940-2000 (the development of Marxist social theory).
		Situates the discussions of individuals and schools in the turbulent social and political context of French history, and examines the ways in which such a leading tradition renews itself.

	Comments Anger Cycle Theory
		As for this smaller category of men who are abusive, while no doubt the "anger cycle" is working overtime for them, I'd gathered they weren't the main focus of your book.
		I was interested in the "other end." But in the middle is a second category of men which must be far larger--though I wouldn't dare to guess how large--and who do for various reasons suppress emotions, to the detriment both of themselves and of those around them.
		What I feel frustrated with is, when the anger cycle is over all these other victims/survivors talk of their abusers apologizing profusely and begging forgiveness.

	Pitirim Sorokin information information - Search.com
		His unorthodox theories contributed to the social cycle theory and inspired (or alienated) many sociologists.
		In his Social and Cultural Dynamics he classified societies according to their 'cultural mentality', which can be ideational (reality as spiritual), sensate (reality is material), or idealistic (a synthesis of the two).
		He has interpreted the contemporary Western civilisation as a sensate civilisation dedicated to technological progress and prophesied its fall into decandence and the emergence of a new ideational or idealistic era.
