In a World Full of Complexities

Because the world is so complex, there is no one way to explain it. That is why there are different religions, different theories of how the universe came to be, and different theories of international relations.

Of course, with all differing view points there are incompatibilities among perspectives. In regard to international relations, these incompatibilities make international relations more of an art than a science. One must use his own judgement when applying a theory to certain situations. Like with art, there is no "right" way of doing anything and everything is up for interpretation.

If one perspective is deemed "accurate" it does not mean that all other perspectives are wrong. It just means that the "accurate" perspective was judged to best explain the situation at hand. Other perspectives can just as well explain other situations.

So there is no absolutely wrong or absolutely right perspective. Just perspectives that have more relevancy in certain situations.
