Question

Explain the following topics:

1. Theory, Hypothesis and Fact

2. Causality as a Building Block of Theoretical Arguments

Answer 1

1.

Theory - In very simple words theory can be explained as an idea or a group or we can say set of ideas which explain an event or a fact . It can abstract and or a generalized way of thinking which is rational in nature towards a fact or a phenomena .It is also seen as speculation .

Hypothesis- A hypothesis can be defined as a proposed explanation of a phenomenon . Hypothesis is a type of proposition .It is made without any assumption of it is being true .It is also based on a small amount of evidence

Fact-A fact is ap irce of information or we can say something which is true and is proved .It is known.

2. We can say causality is the building block of theoretical arguments .This is because it helps in establishing a cause and effect relationship between the phenomena or we can say between the variables .A theoretical argument needs to be proved and causality provides a basis for its proof .
