We questioned our selfs by asking if we were the only ones that have acces to it. I believe that we are defenetly not the only ones that have knowledge, it has been proven that many animals have a wide range of knowledge, aking us only one of the many species that use what we, humans call knowledge. As mentioned it the previous post knowledge doesn't make human being superior, so how is it that we classify species, i believe that by doing this human beings think they have a superior feeling over all living things.
But are we not confuing knowledge with things like instinct; is instinct something you are born with or you learn how to have it, so if knowledge is instinct then humans are not the "leaders" of knowledge since humans is the most inmature species because us humans, we dedicate our wholes lives to learning, to experiment yet we all die without knowing everything there is to know. While every other species dedicates it self to learn how to survive on their own and thats all they need.
What if instinct and knowledge are the ones that have made us what we are. How do we identify it, how long ago was it created, that is if it was created. Another thing that must be taken in a count is the kind of place we have created, wich is a place with certain cultures and society's. So is culture a bi-product of knowledge? Human beings use knowledge to create culture based in necessity. And what about society? Our society knowledge is what we call codes and rules. We use these to shape a culture.
Is there such thing as individual knowledge? this is something ver complex since knowledge is something social.
After reflecting and questioning knowledge we looked at a diagram of what ib believes knowledge can be divided. We were set to do a drawing based on the different parts. For me to completely understand what knowledge was and to know what i was going to draw i had to think beyond my normal thoughts and dig inside the things i know and those i think i know.
The different categories are:
- knower
- ways of knowing: emotion, reason, language, sence perception
- areas of knowledge: ethics, maths, natural sciences, human sciences, history, art
