Q

What is theory?

A

“Theories are sometimes defined guess - but significantly as “educated” guesses. Theories are not merely based on vague impressions nor are they accidental by-products of life. Theories tend to result when their creators have prepared themselves to discover something in their environment, which triggers the process of theory construction”
