The Connection Between Personal Knowledge And Shared Knowledge

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Mandela). In discussions of education, Newman argues that there should be a common shared knowledge between people. According to statistics, there are 70% of Americans who do not hold a college degree. Newman’s ideas revolve around the belief that everyone should go to college and pursue a higher education. If Newman’s ideas are implemented in today’s society, there will not only be short term difficulties like a greater demand for teachers and supplies but also long term difficulties with America’s economy. Although Newman’s system sounds like it would create a better world in the surface, it would be one which is hard to apply in today’s American society.

The main argument here is that the knowledge represents for me the basis of my values, from which I learned most things, which in return guided me to the other good values like the honesty, responsibility and accountability. I highly believe that the knowledge is the major source of all other good

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

The unity of knowledge (moral) and action refers to the way the philosopher perceives the self and the world (Kim, n.d). In Wang’s view knowledge and action work simultaneously and can’t be experienced independently. It is not possible to acquire knowledge without action or act and not have knowledge. The unity of knowledge and action is the lingzhi or the innate knowledge, the knowledge that people already possess (Kim, n.d). What is more, Wang believes that knowledge cannot be acquired because humans are already “self-sufficient

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

Some think that people with knowledge of the world’s complexities and its limitations are often unhappy, while their less-knowledgeable counterparts remain contented. They think that being ignorant of the cold reality surrounding them will bring them happiness because their minds will be peaceful and innocent. However, knowledge is a very strong element to world development. It allows great things to be achieved. Therefore, knowledge actually does make one happier.

Albert Einstein once said “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” Knowledge can be good because it makes one successful. Then, it can also be very bad such as a criminal being too smart for the police, he or she can keep committing crime. Too much knowledge is dangerous because it may harm many, which means that many die or get scarred for life because of one simple guy with an excess of knowledge.

Knowledge is perhaps the most underrated natural resource in our universe. Knowledge is renewable and everlasting. Every atom that surrounds us is full of information and truth. This immense amount of knowledge, however, can come with pain. The truth can be blinding and frightening.

Knowledge is the framework for understanding information and using it to inform judgements, opinions, predictions and decisions – a pyramidal relationship (See diagram 1)

Plato once said, “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.” Some believe that the desire for knowledge and the emotions that arise from it can be dangerous. This assumption is incorrect because possessing vast amounts of knowledge causes many positive impacts everywhere. Knowledge is not dangerous because it causes advancements in the lives of others which leads to a more harmonious society.

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

Even with the best of intentions, knowledge can destroy lives. In contrast to that, proper usage of knowledge can save countless lives, make other’s lives better, and bring people together to prosper. We all have the responsibility to think critically about what we know, what we think we know, and decide what is the best course of action is for the application of our knowledge. That knowledge (or lack thereof) is the root of every action. Every action has an affect on other people’s lives, small or big, those actions need to be pondered and understood. One thing that humanity has started lacking has been true critical thinking on its knowledge. Humanity as a species has never been as knowledgeable as it is currently, and it is our duty to think about it, and find the best uses for our

Another important use of knowledge in daily life is in strengthening oneself. Humans can trick another species or person into being a tool for oneself by teaching them important things. For example, in The Midwich Cuckoos “The Grange was opened up as a kind of school-cum-welfare-cum-centre-cum-social-observatory for them” (Pg. 131) meaning the Children. Britain felt as if they should train their Children to become geniuses to beat Russia because they were informed that Russia had been training their Children to become geniuses. If one understands the thoughts and the actions of others one can use that to one’s own benefit. One is then able to act accordingly to the situation one is in and get the best out of that. One can easily make things go

I value shared knowledge for it has contributed to my own understanding of the world. Most of the things "I know"-personal knowledge- are my individual interpretation of what "we know"-shared knowledge. There is a strong link between shared knowledge and personal knowledge but the extent to which shared knowledge shapes personal knowledge differs across disciplines. This essay explores the areas of knowledge of the Humanities and the Arts, demonstrates that shared knowledge influences personal knowledge and then discusses the claim that shared and personal knowledge are actually inseparable and may as well be one and the same thing.

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
