Positive and Normative Analysis
Positive Analysis:
Factual analysis.
“What is?”
Can be proven or disproven.
For example: I can tell you that it is 70 degrees outside today and you
could verify if my statement is true or untrue.
Normative Analysis:
Opinion based analysis.
“ What should be?"
Involves proposal, judgment and ideals
Cannot be proven or disproven.
Example: What if I tell you that blue is better than red, can you verify
this? can you prove it? can you disprove it?
RATIONALITY
The main deference can be clarified by the words “what really
is” and “what ought to be”.
As a example,
Descriptive theory: Reality is world has terrorism.
Normative theory: World is ought to be peaceful.
Normative = prescriptive = how to comply
Informative = descriptive = help with conceptual understanding
