Document Summary

I found the theory as a net the most helpful because through that we can capture the phenomenon and understand, group and organize theories. When there are more theories for us to intertwine, we can capture the ideas in the net better. Theories are a set of systematic, informed hunches about the way things work.

Theory as net - capture the phenomenon and understand, group and organize theories. When there are more theories, we can capture the ideas in the net better.
