Abstract
This paper will analyze two human behavior theories. Within this analysis, the discussion will review the history of these theories, their supporters, the stages of acceptance of the theories, and the strengths verses the weaknesses of each theory. Next, the paper will review the social problem of prevention of non-marital teenage pregnancy and discuss how these theories differentially inform the social issue of preventing teenage pregnancy.
The theoretical discussion of this paper will focus on social capital theory and empowerment theory. In brief, social capital theory is based on the democratic power of a group according to the availability and exchange of resources within that group (e.g. Besser et al., 2008; Coleman, 1994). In addition to the presence and exchange of resources, trust is a major construct in some definitions of this theory.
