Explain The Traditional Model of Science?
Many people consider science too remote from everyday life and from nonscientists. Do you feel this way? Are there aspects of scientific methods (such as reasoning from observations) that you use?
Science is subjective. It means that the discipline gives more weight to personal preference, biases or normative behavior rather than to evidence provided by data.
