What if everything you perceive – people, the world, the universe – is not what it seems? Relativism is the concept that points of view have no absolute truth or validity, having only relative and subjective value based on differences in perception and consideration. Strictly defined, epistemology is the study of knowledge and justified beliefs. As the study of knowledge, epistemology is concerned with the following questions: What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge? What are its sources? What is its structure and what are its limits (“Epistemology”)? Epistemic relativism occurs when the facts used to establish the truth or falsity of a statement are understood to be relative to the point of view of those who prove or falsify the proposition. While many people scoff at the whole idea of ​​epistemic relativism, they reject a way of thinking that could potentially help solve many of the world's problems by examining the different perspectives involved. For example, when a boy is tasked with cleaning his room, he has several options to choose from. However, he chooses to store most of the items in his room under the bed or in the closet. This is probably because he weighed the pros, cons and risks of each option and chose the one that seemed most rational to him. This may not have been rational for her mother, but she has more experiences and a different thought process to make decisions when faced with the same problem. When the mother scolds the child, she must change the boy's perspective on sliding things from his room under his bed. If he fails or does not recognize it, the child will continue to choose the ration...... middle of paper ......t, and its relationships with epistemological beliefs and self-efficacy on Internet.
