Document Summary
Students answers: subjectivity is contextualized in a larger social framework. There is no absolute right/wrong, what is right depends on cultural context, personality, the means of the moment etc. what you think is wrong is resistant to change. Constantly be self critical - be continually open to your own criticism the bg discussion has taken the concept of happiness and said it will respect subjectivity, it has a lot to do with subjectivity. So there is the whole subjective bias problem with this measurement: to get away from these things, can measure more often. By taking measures at diff pnts and measuring diff things, can see how this measure behaves, whether it predicts you expected it to: this measure does hold up pretty well, it correlated with things its supposed to. It does predict stuff; it has some predictability. Have you ever watched someone slowly go off the rails: usually you can see the wrong before they can.
