The High Value Of Knowledge
Knowledge is information that is understood to a point that it can be used as a skill to help oneself in certain situations. The reason that it is so highly valued is because it can be difficult to obtain. There is so much information in the world that not all knowledge can be known and acquired to benefit those who hold it. How does one learn knowledge? The topic I chose states that there are only two ways in which humankind can produce knowledge: through passive observation or through active experiment.” In this essay I will explain the extent to which I believe this statement is true. All human beings develop knowledge of a subject through observation of what is taking place, or experiencing the knowledge on a first hand level.
There are only two ways to learn about knowledge. The observation technique allows one to see through other experiences that aren’t personal. The experiment way allows you to learn from a situation that can produce new knowledge to the person in the experiment. Schools are a way of learning through observation. Teachers are able to provide students with examples of real life experiments. The students that observe these active experiments then obtain the information for use whenever necessary. All human beings take their experiences that they have from their life and then make observations from those active experiments in order to develop new knowledge. The difficult part is being able to go through enough experiences to obtain a knowledge beyond a reasonable doubt.
After brainstorming and pondering over the original prompt, there were a few knowledge questions that arose that will help support my view on the statement. The first was in what ways do the ways of knowing use experience and observation to become a way to produce knowledge? Language, emotion, reason, and perception all use experiments, and observations to produce knowledge. Without these ways of knowing, knowledge would not be able to be transferred, or be able to prove
