Objectivity & Standpoint

In the science field there is a stronger emphasis on objectivity rather than on standpoint. These different approaches to research can definitely cause tension between fields and even within disciplines themselves. It seems that researchers who use the objectivity approach feel that their research is doing more than the research being done with a standpoint approach. However, it depends on what type of research is being done because an objectivity approach might be more adequate for certain types of research and standpoint for others. For the most part animal sciences follows the objectivity approach, which is what science does in general.
