Weinberg's Too Big To Know

Moller explores the topic of love and death, of how a bereaved spouse can quickly manage to move on from the death of their (supposed) significant other. However, in exploring the adaptive theory, it demonstrates humans are resilient in facing the turmoil’s of lost. Additionally, this counts for other (significant) losses; the loss of a child, home, tenure, their spinal cord, etc. The theory explains these catastrophes are merely ‘minor’ blips in our lives, and don’t affect our long-term happiness. This is because the effects of the event decrease (assumed to be the span of three months), and we begin (or already have) returned to our normalized state. However, this is problematic in some cases where the deceased spouse could have been the breadwinner,

In order to understand anything in society today, it takes knowledge. Knowledge plays a vital role in society because, it’s the information, facts, data, etc. that all individuals recite from past experiences learned. Zakaria does a good job explaining knowledge as he aims towards the origin development of understanding the world over time, which in other words; may be called philosophy. Zakaria concludes the ideas of how humans have changed over time, by using previous experience as gained knowledge in everyday life. Zakaria states, “Many modern biologists concur, arguing that the core of being human involves the use of the brain.” (pg.138). Zakaria says this to explain that any activity a person chooses to partake in requires knowledge. Everything in the world today has been created, has been modified to adapt and improve and meet society’s expectations.

Enlightening on the fact that information is available when and where ever people want it, at the touch of a finger people can obtain any information necessary, making American’s think that they are learning, as McCullough states. McCullough then professes, information is not learning, intelligence, common sense, kindness, good judgment, imagination, sense of humor, courage, and it isn’t explaining right from wrong. He suggests the knowledge of Connecticut’s square mileage, the dates of the signing on whichever United Nations Charter, or the height a flea can jump may be helpful, but is also not

- Information: is a knowledge which can be transferred or received concerning a particular fact or situation. And is a sequence of symbols that can be explained as a message. Information can be recorded as signs, or transmitted as signals.

Ex; What is knowledge? Can we know anything for certain? What are the limitations of what we know?

He is additionally alluding to the constrained way of human knowing as he says; all human knowledge is useless, nothing, at the end of the day, uncertain. Indeed, even in their best operation, notwithstanding with respect to those convictions for which we have the best reasons, and invested the most energy

“Knowledge” recurring many times throughout the Frankenstein novel. A word that speaks for itself but also can have different meanings. It is also a powerful tool to that can be used as a result of our judgment. “Knowledge consists in recognizing the difference between good and bad decisions”. (Knowledge Intellectual understanding)

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

The word “knowledge” was recurring many times throughout Frankenstein novel and attracted or forced the reader to find out the true definition of it. Curiously, I decided to look up the definition of knowledge from the Webster 's Dictionary. It defines, “Knowledge: n. Understanding gained by actual experience; range of information; clear perception of truth; something learned and kept in the mind.” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) I realized this word is very straightforward, but has many useful and different meanings to all of us. It is also powerful tool to determine and control the result of our judgment. “Knowledge consists in recognizing the difference between good and bad decisions”. (Knowledge Intellectual

Information is data that has been processed so that it has meaning and value to a recipient,

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

Information is data which is accurate and timely specific and organized for a purpose presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance. Information can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty.

Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be tacit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic. Botha et al (2008) pointed out that tacit and explicit knowledge should be seen as a spectrum rather than as definitive points. Therefore, in practice, all knowledge is a mixture of tacit and explicit elements rather than being one or the other. The most important distinction within KM is between explicit and tacit knowledge. The overload of data is making knowledge management increasingly more important as it facilitates decision-making capabilities; builds learning organizations by making learning routine, and stimulates cultural change and innovation.

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.
