The following topics/questions are descriptive, i.e. answers to these questions are descriptive theories (e.g. How do theories become accepted? or Are there unchangeable scientific methods?).
If you want to add a new descriptive topic (question, problem), enter the name of the topic and click the button.
When entering the name of the topic, please omit articles ("a", "the") wherever possible. E.g. instead of "The Role of Individual Factors", please enter "Role of Individual Factors". Also, Please Capitalize the Principal Words.
