Theory in general

Submitted by Marina Gallo on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 3:36pm.
I was thinking about theory and how it is endless in its questioning of what we think. That IS intimidating..as we talked about in class. I think that is part of the reason I dislike studying theory. The other main reason is that it is always written in a convoluted way. Why can the authors simply state what they mean instead of trying to confuse everyone and prove how smart they are. I just feel like it is a game of show-off rather than simply giving people information. That really bothers me!
