there is no reality we can discount knowledge from the hard sciences as less scientific because it fails to focus on the social world

all assessments of the world and what is happening in it are equally valid

it is important to carefully evaluate claims and evidence

Nancy Simon · Answer 1

It is important to carefully evaluate claims and evidence.

Explanation:

In the argument Joel Best said that the knowledge is socially constructed. Like knowing how to behave, act, talk in society the knowledge that we gain is also constructed socially. When we socialize we pass on the knowledge that we have and gain the knowledge form others. This is the benefit of socializing.
