Question

Also what are two social issues that are NOT explained well by rational choice theory?

This may be better posted in homework help but I thought this my be a better thread.

Answer 1

they miss out on a bad word - religion - that still influences us.  look at tibet, look at the muslim world.  how these theories dont connect with them.  

the theories are narrow and look from a western anglo saxon angle.  so they cant be used to explain these mad militants bombing all over the world.
