Issues such as aesthetics, morality, and religion can usually be resolved through empirical research.
lawyer [7]
Hello! I would say the correct answer here is B. False.

As these topics are highly debatable and have many different viewpoints varied by factors such as upbringing, location, and life experience, they cannot be entirely solved. Eliminating these issues and falling under one standard would represent a utopian and realistically unachievable world. Without the world’s diversity the whole world would be “in uniform” (one of my favorite phrases from The Great Gatsby) and the creativity and culture would cease to exist. So, since these issues are unable to be resolved, empirical research is not applicable in a solution to them.

I hope this helps! :)
