Controversies on Using Social Networking Services Controversy is an important element of scientific development. Richard Feynman, a revered physicist, once said “Science is the belief in the ignorance of scholars” (“The 10 most controversial psychology studies ever published”, para 1).

[4] Moreover, my subject involves infinite labour, seeing that it must be traced back…
