 | This page in a nutshell: Theories dealing with subjective interpretations and implementations need to be contextualised in concrete conditions. This contextualisation needs to account for specific historic development and overlapping characteristics without trying to extrapolate to other contexts with different historic backgrounds and conditions. There are a set of topics that are contentious due to the nature of their implementation and corresponding effects. The contention could arise from the lack of contextualisation, the fallacy of generalising the results of a case study, the use of causal claims from non-(strict)experimental studies or because the point of view is not supported by WP:RS. Due to this, editors will almost inevitably confuse opposing views, based on different contexts, as violating neutral point of view. If you think you've spotted one, please elucidate the context and consider dispute resolution. |
