Both proofs were able to justify that the mathematical formula was correct. There is only one way to create the universe. No one can dictate the standards into deciding which piece of music is better than the other. There are many theories describing the functions of the brain. Some theories are better founded than others. No one can dictate the standards into deciding which book is better than the other.

ER: ONE VIEW CANNOT BE MORE RIGHT THAN THE OTHER. Under Column B, record the responses that obtained the highest frequency in your LC. You may want to put the numbere.g., OO (3/5). Discuss your response per item with your Learning Circle, as well as your reasons for them. Aim for a consensus for every item. Do NOT agree based on sheer numbers.

Part Three: CLASS DISCUSSION Part Four: PROCESSING After the class discussion, indicate your epistemological world view (or theory of knowledge) per domain. Domains Natural Science Art Morality Religion Social Science Item #s 1, 5, 14 3, 7, 10 6, 9, 11 2, 13, 15 4, 8, 12 Your world view Evaluativist Relativist Evaluativist Absolutist Evaluativist Remarks
There are many theories in the eld of natural science; nonetheless, some theories are better founded than others. No one can dictate the standards into deciding which piece of art is better than another. Acts that are morally right are distinguished from acts that are morally wrong. There is only one God.

A person is a unique individual; nevertheless, there is that tendency for him/her to conform with society.

From this digital worksheet, I learned about the three epistemological world views, namely absolutist, evaluativist and relativist. An absolutist believes that only one of the two views can be right, while an evaluativist believes that one view can be more right than the other. Whereas, a relativist believes that one view cannot be more right than the other. In line with these, I learned that one can have different epistemological world views with regard to different areas of knowledge, in this case natural science, art, morality, religion and social science. For instance, one can be an absolutist with respect to religion, but an evaluativist in terms of morality. In addition, a person may not have the same epistemological world view with someone else in one eld of knowledge. This can be seen in the instances, wherein a group did not reach a 5/5 in the column assigned for the learning center majority.
