personal truthCommon dictionary definitions of truth mention some form of accord with fact or reality. There is, however, no single definition of truth about which scholars agree, and numerous theories of truth continue to be widely debated. Differing opinions exist on such questions as what constitutes truth, how to define and identify truth, what roles do revealed and acquired knowledge play, and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute.
Relativism consists of various theories each of which claims that some element or aspect of experience or culture is relative to, i.e., dependent on, some other element or aspect. For example, some relativists claim that humans can understand and evaluate beliefs and behaviours only in terms of their historical or cultural context. The term often refers to truth relativism, which is the doctrine that there are no absolute truths, i.e., that truth is always relative to some particular frame of reference, such as a language or a culture.

the coterie that surrounds Baba dismissed the allegations by denouncing them as "Anti-Hindu" attacks made by foreigners [17]. According to Mick Brown, due to the public disclosure of allegations, there was a rash of defections from Western countries and Sweden.[8] In face of the allegations, the Sathya Sai Central Trust is still the largest recipient of foreign donations (as recently as 2001)[18] and Bill Aitken and Michelle Goldberg both expressed the opinion that the allegations have not seemed to impact the Guru's following.

Sexual selection is the theory that competition for mates between individuals of the same sex results in differential mating and reproduction. This mechanism can drive the evolution of certain traits and can lead to the amplification of those traits. Within a species, one sex (almost always females) acts as a limiting resource for the other (almost always males).
