Knowledge shapes and develops the world around. It is an essential tool used in everyday life. Knowledge allows the everyday person to do the simplest things like walking and talking. Society looks to knowledge to make since of the world around and the information acquired through one or a group. With reference of two Areas of Knowledge, science and religion, the discussion of how and in what ways shared knowledge can shape personal knowledge will be established in the Theory of Knowledge essay. In order for one to fully understand the way in which shared knowledge can shape personal knowledge in two areas of knowledge, one must look at knowledge as a whole and analyze both shared and personal knowledge, observed under the effects of both real

Unlike personal knowledge, shared knowledge is just like its name states. It is the knowledge developed or acquired through or by a group of people, meaning two or more. This is the most common formality of knowledge. Meaning most individuals derive their knowledge through shared knowledge. For example in the science world a vast majority or theories are based off a collection of multiple scientist conclusions and theories. Over time the knowledge is passed down through many different scientist. Other than science groups there are family, religious, and political, just to name a few. When a particular person takes on the knowledge of a group of people whether it be for a religious, political, family, or even science group, they take on the viewpoint of the world or the majority. A key factor that makes shared knowledge what it is, is the working together of people over time. Science and religion are both areas of knowledge. Though two separate fields or areas, both areas coincide with one another one way or another. Where science or the science, both human and natural, focus more so on the empirical data of the world and religion focuses morality and the metaphysics of the world, they both draw a controversial line on the origin of the world and how it all came to be, otherwise known as …show more content…
Considering that majority of the work collected is based upon theories. When one elaborates on what a theory is, an idea to justify or explain why something is based on principles. An idea would impose that it is not at all a fact but an assumption, something someone just assumed. No one on this earth can attest to the origination of the earth, because they were not there to gather the evidence and facts. But it is by a collection of this assumption that makes the science community an invalid representation as to how shared knowledge can shape personal knowledge.an assumption, something someone just assumed.
