Tacit knowledge

Looking Glass of One’s Own Self People base their opinions through opinions they have learned through experience. Some take what parents or elderly people have taught them and apply it to their own life. This is one major way one makes decisions, as well as forming biases. With these developed biases people then come to a conclusion, solution, or verdict with any scenario thrown in their direction. Though people learn from others in some situations, they have to make their own decisions and…

It is my belief that teachers use questioning strategies for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons include reviewing previous lessons, actively involving students in the lesson, assessing mastery of the goals and objectives, and helping them develop critical thinking skills. When I taught my first lesson in the classroom I felt that using questioning strategies enhanced the lesson material. When I used questions that seem to focus on important elements of the lesson it helped the student…

As well as there is no need to fear death because human knowledge cannot represent the ones of the Gods. Socrates did not fear death since he considered himself to be a good man and life after death is unknown to him “I do not know whether death is a good or an evil” (Plato 13), so there is no need to fear what…

Children can experience learned helplessness in…

happiness. Finally the last definition found in Book 1 is that wisdom is not only knowledge but the search for knowledge of the human and divine matters that are relevant to be happy. In my opinion, I do not think that the possession of knowledge nor the pursuit of knowledge is strictly necessary for a happy life. I can see why this was important in Augustine’s time and even in Cicero’s time. Know, we tend to see knowledge as something objective, as books and information that we can obtain if…
