Value Of Knowledge Analysis

The knowledge obtained throughout the course of life can be applied to almost every situation that is encountered. Though the knowledge not applied to an everyday situation eventually diminishes in value according to the title. Diminished means anything that is reduced in value, so any piece of knowledge that has not been used is already placed on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of value. So, what is the basis for diminishing the value of knowledge? I believe that every piece of knowledge that is floating around in our world has the same value no matter if it is used or not. It is the person who determines whether or not a specific piece of knowledge is greater or less in value. Therefore, the individual determines whether or not knowledge …show more content…
Since imagination is a realm where every impossible situation is possible, it is important that every piece of knowledge gained can first be applied to an individual’s imagination. However, if there are internal factors that diminished the value of knowledge, then the capability of that knowledge to be applied to an everyday situation is limited because it could not be applied to imagination. Just as there are internal factors that contribute to the value of knowledge, external factors play a greater role. These external factors are present in the environment in which the individual is in. In schools, there are teachers who present knowledge with bias to their students. As a result, they have already diminished the value of knowledge, which is then diminished by the students, which then erases the importance of that knowledge. It is the same way if the individual were trying to gain knowledge through observation, but if they cannot make the connections between the gained and previous knowledge, then the gained knowledge becomes useless because it cannot be applied to any situation with the previous knowledge. For example, if a person sees a seed on the ground and then sees a red rose, but does not make the connection between the germination of the seed resulting in the growth of the flower and because of its genes, it resulted in a red rose, then …show more content…
Even though I think that history is worthless and just a waste of my time, I know that I can learn from my mistakes that I have made in my own record of history to make sure that my future does not result in with the same mistakes. If individuals diminish the value of knowledge, then that means that every single case study, primary and secondary sources, and other research that have been established are all false because the people who wrote them must have considered that something was pointless to include in their research when it could have been the key point to turn the entire research upside down. Therefore, each individual, who is the basis for diminishing the value of knowledge, is not capable of determining which piece of knowledge should be diminished in value because it limits the individual’s intellect. As a result, the knowledge not applied is not diminished in value, instead it remains in its initial position as
