Shared And Shared Knowledge

| The study of knowledge: What constitutes knowledge, the nature of knowledge, and whether knowledge is possible

The 19th century was one of the most revolutionized eras in the history of the world. It is in this time period that the power shift was on a constant stir; empires falling, empires rising, and important discoveries that would change the world forever. Many Significant theories and belief systems were established, as well as the rise of some of the potent people in history. One person that is remembered for his work and celebrated for his theories is English biologist and scientist Charles Darwin. He is the sole theorists who conjured up the idea of human evolution, commonly known today as “Darwinism”. In effort to ensure this is recognized this paper continues on into the life of Charles Darwin, his story, his achievements,

Although Darwin’s (1809-1882) work in evolutionary observation might appear radically different from those focused on other areas, the theories he developed from these observation lead to such groundbreaking publishing’s as The Origin of Species. These intern caused an upset within the then accepted norms of philosophy and religion, had a profound impact on the academia, and further

Darwin’s ideas were seen in culture as so drastically different from all his predecessors. They were unheard of, and revolutionary. Because of their unorthodox quality, individuals and people groups did not know how to respond

Knowledge is a powerful tool, one which will unlock many doors for us as individuals and as the whole of the human race, but we must always remember the consequences of gaining knowledge. It is both our blessing and our curse, and we must never forget that knowledge is a power, what we do with that power will determine our fate and

According to them, Darwin’s work was merely grounded on empirical data. Much of the scientific community regarded Darwin as a gentlemen scientist, as Darwin was not a professor at a university nor a member of an esteemed learned society. Instead, Darwin was self-motivated, pursing his passion for science out of curiosity and regarded it as his role in public

Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave,” a depiction of the effects of education and enlightenment in the face of conflicting worldly understandings, arguably represents a continuous theme of world history—the hostility faced by new forms of thinking. In Plato’s “Allegory,” Plato demonstrates the hostility and resentment that individuals sometimes deal with when attempting to share new forms of knowledge through the experiences of the prisoners in the cave. However, this hostility is akin to another major revelation made by Charles Darwin through his trip to the Galapagos Island. The development of Darwin’s theory of evolution, a groundbreaking hypothesis that when accepted would change humanity’s understanding of existence, was met with ignorance

Knowledge: It is information that has been synthesized so that relations and interactions are defined and formalized; Knowledge answers questions of “why” or “how”. It explores options.

Thomas Davenport and Laurence Prusak (1998) define knowledge as follows: "Knowledge is a mixture of experience, values, kontektual information, views and expert intuition gives it a fundamental Iingkungan and framework

Therefore, it has proven that some specific kinds of knowledge are originated by human’s experience and then turn into information knowledge by sharing

From a young age, I’ve learned that knowledge is a powerful tool and a necessity in life. Thankfully, I’m one of the few in my family who understands this and chooses to get ahead in life

In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species: by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, a work which was set change our ideas on how we think about the natural world, how it works, ways in which it develops itself. Although making the briefest of commentaries about the human, parallels in thinking can be drawn on the behaviour of the natural world to the way of humans. I will look to understand nature first to analysis if our behaviour as humans is similar to that of the natural world, to understand the barriers that may effect change or to an extreme evolution. I believe it is essential to understand nature first as humans share many traits with the natural world, e.g.

Knowledge, in itself, is nothing. It can even be a burden we are gathering tirelessly and than we carry it through a lifetime, climbing obstacles, overcoming challenges, our knowledge barely helping, and sometimes pulling us back instead.

Knowledge is defined to be facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education. There are two categories that fall under knowledge; personal knowledge and shared knowledge. Shared knowledge refers to what “we know because.” It can also be defined as communicated and constructed knowledge; within culture, social norms, and semiotics. Personal knowledge refers to “I know because.” An expanded definition of personal knowledge refers to personal experiences, values, and perceptions. Shared knowledge changes and evolves over time because of methods that are continuously shared. It is assembled by a group of people. Personal knowledge, on the other hand, depends crucially on the experiences of a particular individual. It is gained

However, Community of Practice Theory explains the development of knowledge and membership through a social practice. On the same ground, the theory is based on four premises. First, humans are social beings. Second, knowledge is situated competence in valued undertakings or their importance to the assigned task. Third, knowing involves active engagement or their participation and last, learning ultimately produces meanings or their interpretation in every term (Lave and Wenger, 1998).
