The ease of acquiring knowledge in this digital age one ponders whether that further develops or hinders the art of human thinking. There appears to be an overreliance on other sources than our own knowledge with an automatic go to google as a preference rather than thinking for yourself and a reluctance to problem solve or in creating the knowledge Beslisle (2006, p.58) defines digital knowledge as a new condition of knowledge which can be processed and transformed by technological tools.…
kinds of knowledge, this includes shared and personal knowledge. Shared knowledge is what we obtain and learn from sources such as school, other institutions and people. It requires specific vocabulary. Another approach to gaining knowledge is based on experience and sense perception. We call this personal knowledge because we learn this individually with our own experiences. In this case it means how they interact, and to influence each other as a whole. One of the areas of knowledge I chose…
Madison talks about knowledge in a sense that it is a key to success. With knowledge it helps you overcome a lot of things. James Madison used knowledge to his advantage to make changes in the world and, to get out of the government they were in. He states that if you want to control your own life and who is in charge, you have to have some knowledge on how the government was before and how you can change it for the better. When people are ignorant they are lacking the knowledge of what is…
Is there a difference between justified true belief and knowledge? For the philosopher Plato, these terms defined knowledge, until the philosopher Edmund Gettier proposed the contrary. Gettier suggested the knowledge is more than true justified and belief, so according to Gettier Plato’s theory does not define knowledge, because true, belief and justification can be satisfy. However, it does not exactly mean knowledge. Knowledge from my point of view is more complex than what Plato proposed. In…
According to Massingham (2014:1077), knowledge is an intangible resource, and it combines with other firm resources (e.g.financial and physical) to create capabilities. Knowledge resources are oftenclassified as either tacit (implicit) or codified (explicit). Tacit knowledge is the knowledge inan individual’s head.

say that knowledge is power and through knowledge many things can be successfully accomplished in life. How does one gain knowledge? The universal way of gaining knowledge is usually by attending school and learning what the teacher shows the student. Even in the real world, an employee gains understanding by watching or listening on how to complete the job. This is ultimately the knower’s perspective at work. Without their perspective, it would be extremely difficult to gain knowledge.…
Tacit Knowledge The definition in the book defines tacit knowledge as this, what employees can typically learn through experience. It’s not easily communicated but could very well be the most important aspect of what we learn in organizations (Colquitt, J. A., LePine, J. A., & Wesson, M. J. 2017). For example, learning the behaviors of people especially if you work heavily around people. You learn how people are and how they react to different things and you take that and learn how you will…
plenty of basic knowledge in various fields that will help students a lot in future career. However, some people argues that the university should pay more attention to the intrinsic value of the knowledge instead of considering whether these knowledge will be useful in the career. Others believed that learning the work-related knowledge can contribute to the better performance in the workplace. To my point of view, it is more practical and beneficial to provide students with the knowledge that…

Is certainty necessary for knowledge? To really answer this question, we have to define what knowledge really is. Then in turn, we have to define what certainty really is. Truth also should be defined in order to help better understand the question. Once all three of these terms are defined then the main question can be dealt with. Truth should be dealt with first since it is the underlying aspect of the question. Some people could consider certainty truth. However, I do not feel as if…
