Overview Theories and frameworks have intrinsic value by shaping our perceptions

Overview
Theories and frameworks have intrinsic value by shaping our perceptions and molding our interactions within the world. They enable us to see things differently and more comprehensively, as well as sensitize us and broaden our perspective. Theory is often viewed as impractical because it is frequently used implicitly (non-intentional) and we have limited awareness of using it. Your personal theory reflections will assist you to develop self-awareness of implicit utilization.
