    All of them are partly-true, and mostly wrong.

    Trying to explain social behaviors through set-in-the-stone theories is one of the biggest mistakes of modernity.

    But trying to explain social behaviours (and international relations) without them is impossible. Theories are not neccessarily supposed to be correct, but provide useful perspectives of understanding and resolving problems

    As if its the fault of modernity...

    Ever since the alphabet, in gact ever since ever since, man has had to, in order to survive, define things accoring to how they fit within certain systems of classification. Think, the triangle goes into the triangle shaped hole, that kind of thing. But as you said they often do not fit so well.
