What if everything you perceive – people, the world, the universe – is not as it seems? Relativism is the concept that points of view have no absolute truth or validity, having only relative and subjective value based on differences in perception and consideration. Narrowly defined, epistemology is the study of knowledge and justified beliefs. As the study of knowledge, epistemology is concerned with the following questions: What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge? What are your sources? What is its structure and what are its limits ("Epistemology")? Epistemic relativism is when the facts used to establish the truth or falsity of any statement are understood to be relative to the perspective of those proving or falsifying the proposition. While many people scoff at the very idea of ​​epistemic relativism, what they reject is a way of thinking that could potentially help solve many of the world's problems by looking at the different perspectives involved. For example, when a boy is given the task of cleaning his room, he has several options to choose from. However, he chooses to store most items in his room under the bed or in the closet. This is most likely because he weighed the pros, cons and risks of each option and chose the one that seemed the most rational to him. It may not have been rational to her mother, but she has more experiences and a different thought process to make decisions from when faced with the same problem. When the mother scolds the child she must change the boy's perspective regarding the possibility of putting the objects in his room under the bed. If he fails in this, or does not recognize it, the child will continue to choose the ration... in the center of the paper... t, and their relationships with epistemological beliefs and self-efficacy on the Internet."
