Examples of existence in the following topics:
-
- A business looking to build a new factory, office building or retail operation should first consider upgrading an existing building before constructing a new one.
-
- As cognitive development proceeds, new schemata are developed, and existing schemata are more efficiently organized to better adapt to the environment.
- The process of assimilation involves attempts to organize existing schemata for better understanding events in the external world, whereas accommodation involves changing pre-existing schemata to adapt to a new situation.
-
- Speeches about question of fact (something is true, exists, or does not exist) propose that the speaker's view is probably true.
- Questions of fact (which are also called propositions of fact) basically state that something is, something exists, or something doesn't exist.
- Historical controversy: Knowledge that an event did happen in the past or that an object actually did exist.
- Thesis: When developing a persuasive speech, begin with a thesis that states that something is true, meaning that it happened or did not happen. exists or does not exist.
- The existence of the Loch Ness Monster is a question of fact.
-
- Studying existing sources collected by other researchers is an essential part of research in the social sciences.
- Harvard sociologist Theda Skocpol is well known for her work in comparative historical sociology, a sub-field that tends to emphasize the use of existing sources because of its often wide geographical and historical scope.
- In archival research or secondary research, the focus is not on collecting new data but on studying existing texts.
- While some sociologists spend time in the field conducting surveys or observing participants, others spend most of their research time in libraries, using existing sources for their research.

- $\forall \varepsilon > 0 \; \exists c \; \forall x < c :\; \left | f(x) - L \right | < \varepsilon$
- Similarly, the limit of $f$ as $x$ approaches negative infinity is $L$, denoted $\lim_{x \to -\infty}f(x) = L$, means that for all $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists $c$ such that $|f(x) - L| < \varepsilon$ whenever $x
- If the limit at infinity exists, it represents a horizontal asymptote at $y = L$.
- For any arbitrarily small $\varepsilon$, there exists a large enough $N$ such that when $x > N$, $\left | f(x)-2 \right | < \varepsilon$.
- Therefore, the limit of this function at infinity exists.
-
- Research in March, 2012 reported here found evidence for the existence of the Higgs Boson particle.
- However, the evidence for the existence of the particle was not statistically significant.
-
-
- One important point to note is the distinction between epistemology, a set of beliefs about knowing, and ontology, a set of beliefs about what exists or what is real.
- (As stated in this chapter, some constructionists and constructivists state that they believe reality does NOT exist apart from being socially invented by people.
- In other words, a radical constructivist might say, "Yes, yes, the earth and the stars and planets exist; but their existence has no intrinsic meaning.
- Their existence doesn't count for anything apart from the meaning people impose upon them.
- And therefore true knowledge of them - or of any 'reality' - does NOT exist.
-
- Continued existence is contingent upon level of profits.
- Nonprofit institutions exist to benefit a society, regardless of whether profits are achieved.
-
- Alderfer's ERG theory, based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, outlines three core needs: existence, relatedness, and growth.
- ERG Theory posits that there are three groups of core needs: existence (E), relatedness (R), and growth (G)—hence the acronym "ERG."
- The "existence" needs describe our basic material requirements for living.
