Consider the way a scientist thinks about the world versus the way a nonscientist does. is there a difference between the two? consider a scenario in which a teacher returns the results of a unit test, and the grade is very low. how would a scientist approach this situation, and how would a nonscientist approach it?

A scientist tries to understand everything. They ask questions to see how things work and find explanations to their problems. They think critically and prove everything. A nonscientist accepts any knowledge as truth and doesn’t filter it. They remain complacent about what they already know and don’t try to achieve more or understand what is unknown.

If a teacher returned a unit test with a low grade to a nonscientist, they would either refuse to accept it and believe they should have gotten a higher mark or accept it without trying to achieve more. A scientist would question it if they believed they deserved better, and if the answers were satisfactory, they would develop a way to improve, always learning as they went.
