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.

One of the areas of knowledge I chose…

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…

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.

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.

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…
