I found very interesting the idea that Corwin presented in his last reflection. During class we had briefly touched on this too. Practice always ends up being more complicated, less black and white, than the actual theory.
During class every theory seems to be different from the other, sometimes even the opposite, yet in the real world stage, theories overlap. Sometimes it is even impossible to prove that you are following one theory without the influence of others. Just like the example used by Corwin, where the line between realism and constructivism get blurry, and it is hard to say which single theory is being applied. While the statement that practice always plays out different than theory is pretty obvious, it raises many intriguing questions. How much does theory influence the behavior on the world stage? Is the theory an attempt to understand human nature, or is the theory influencing what we call human nature? Theory vs Practice is always an interesting topic because it sheds light in how predictably unpredictable humans can be, especially on the world stage.
