Prescriptive

Read a random definition: BFP

A quick definition of Prescriptive:

Prescriptive: A prescriptive statement tells us how things should be, rather than how they actually are. It's like a set of rules or instructions that we should follow. For example, a prescriptive theory might tell us how people or things ought to work, rather than just describing how they currently do. This is different from a descriptive statement, which simply describes how things are without making any judgments about whether they are good or bad.

A more thorough explanation:

Prescriptive

A prescriptive statement tells you how things should be, rather than how they actually are. A prescriptive theory is one that explains how people or things ought to function.

  • "You should always say please and thank you." This is a prescriptive statement because it tells you how you should behave, rather than describing how you actually behave.
  • "People should exercise for at least 30 minutes a day." This is a prescriptive statement because it tells you how people ought to behave, rather than describing how they actually behave.

These examples illustrate the definition of prescriptive because they both tell you how you should behave, rather than describing how you actually behave. They are prescribing a certain type of behavior that is considered desirable or appropriate.
