Environmental Ethics

Claudia, Niurkys, and Efrain are in a biology class discussing about the concept of a theory. Can you help them understand better? They're trying to figure out, what exactly is a theory?

• A theory is a proven fact with no room for doubt, as Claudia suggests.

• A theory is a fictional story with no basis in reality, as Niurkys believes.

• A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, as Efrain argues.

• A theory is a wild guess with no evidence, as some others might think.

• Moral principles that govern behavior or activity.

• A code of conduct that guides professional behavior.

Imagine this! You're in an engaging study group with Niurkys, Efrain, Claudia, Richard, Brianny, and you. The topic of discussion is an intriguing research paper. Suddenly, Efrain, with a sparkle in his eyes, suggests a 'peer review' session. What exactly is Efrain hinting at?

• Efrain is hinting that everyone in the group, being non-experts, should evaluate the research paper.

• Efrain is hinting that everyone in the group, being experts in the field of the research paper, should evaluate it.

• Efrain is hinting that the research paper should be published without any evaluation from the group.

• Efrain is hinting that everyone in the group, being experts in the field of the research paper, should edit it.
