So in that sense, that could be quality knowledge.

For: In ethics, however, something is not considered ethical by others unless it is agreed upon and widely accepted as ethical, but this can also vary among cultures. In natural sciences and indigenous knowledge systems, there has to be a general/universal acceptance for knowledge to be valid. -Emily M]]> 2018-10-01 15:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pricej13/vikkzo7quos8/wish/287692959
