This is a compulsory theory so everyone learns it and the Examiner will expect you to know it in detail. While the Exam could ask general questions about the theory's ideas or evaluation, it could also ask specific questions, like, How does Agency explain genocide? or, What explanations does Agency Theory give of disobedient schoolboys? or, How can Agency Theory be used to make prisoners more obedient in prisons? Make sure you can explain the STRENGTHS of this theory as well as the weaknesses.
