In this sample breach letter, we use different social sciences theories such as symbolic interactionism and rational choice theory. Symbolic interactionism is used in the letter when it is offering you and other affected customers by the accident, about the tools you can use to protect themselves against possible identity theft. The rational choice theory is also associated with the help of setting up guidelines for you to follow in order to protect yourself. The types of economic theories that were used were tragedy of commons and market socialism. Tragedy of commons is used in an economic situation in which every individual has an incentive to use a resource, but at the expense of every other individual and there is no means to prevent anybody from doing so.
