Good Afternoon,

I have been assigned to review this article and will be doing so today. My apologies for the delay, as I had a flu/cold over the last week.

this page needs a lot of work. it needs way more research done than what is already done. Closchen (talk) 15:57, 11 July 2011 (UTC)Casey Loschen

I would say you should have a few refrences and you should even talk about what it is and how it affects society as a whole and what it actually is. Kitkat1154 (talk) 02:11, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

I am planning on adding a section following the lead paragraph expanding upon general causality and Hume as it seems to be a predominant theme in the literature, would also like to include a bit about causality and positivity (and potentially how this effects social research). Please let me know if you have any thoughts on my edits, future sections or revisions, and potential sources. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from any of you!
