Airida [17]

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

Scientific method is the one that studies phenomena through some steps that have been tested before; it also follows the same procedures every time (as long as it is possible; even the environment should be put in the same conditions) and, if done with enough attention and good care, it can lead to reliable results.

Due to these characteristics (reliability and procedures) it is a good way to study phenomena; since it is necessary to be aware of every little detail, it can help us understand things in general and in a deeper way.

People who study communication may find this method very helpful; I also think that computer science could be a good field to be studied with the scientific method.
