Sorces+of+Knowledge

What is my sources of knowing ? // The human mind gains knowledge and understanding about the world from the different experiences, observations, cultural trust, reasons, experiences, and trust. // // Experiences and trust in my opinion, are the two words that are related to all the other categories. // // People face different experiences every day that helps them to gain knowledge, for example, knowing that if you put your hands in hot water this will cause burns, and you know that by having a past experience with hot objects. // // People gain trust from different experiences, for example trusting the warning signs for the hot water taps, because we experienced that hot water causes burns, and we weren't warned the first time we touched hot water, so we gained the knowledge and we are now aware that this water is hot water. // // We trust people that has the authority and the knowledge at a specific area, for example the worker that works in the bathroom warned me that this is a hot water, and I trust him, because he had many different experiences and has knowledge more than I do about this water. //

=__Perception __=


 * What are the primary ways in which we know the world around us? **

We mostly know the world around us through the five senses (touch,sight,hear,taste,smell)
=__Are there stages to perception? __=

 -filling in information: Adding information to an existing information that we already have about something.
===E.g: When we learn that eating carrot really improves eye sight, we already know that it was healthy but we added the information that it is good for eye sight. ===

=__Perceptual Illusions __=


 * Is your perception always accurate? Provide examples of when it is trustworthy, and when it might not be. **

**Check box above. **

 * Are people’s perceptions the same? How do you know this? Does this invalidate your or another person’s experience? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">No people perception's differ in each person, some people might see something completely different from what the other one sees it. It's all based on the five senses. For example someone can taste hot pepper, and this it's really chili, and someone else doesn't think that it's chili. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why might misperceptions occur? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Because human beings aren't perfect, it's just normal that they misperceive sometimes, because they are not always certain about what their five senses tells them, how they see, feel, taste .. things might be wrong, it's not accurate, it's just what they feel is right. **

=__<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Selectivity of Perception __=


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How do we validate our perceptions? Do we ignore some and rely more heavily on others? Why? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> We validate our perception by comparing them to other people's, for example if someone thinks that a type of food doesn't look good but actually tastes really good, we as humans find ourself rely on sight because we think that we can depend on it. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What things might affect how you interpret your perceptions? Is this selectivity conscious or unconscious? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Color or the quality of the thing, it's all things that affects the way we feel about the thing and again this is all related to our five senses. Selectivity is unconscious because we're never sure about the things that we select because selectivity is the quality of carefully choosing someone or something as the best or most suitable, and even though we thing it's the best, it might not be. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can you provide reasons why people perceive things differently? Explain **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">People come to realize or understand that something is wrong, by making mistakes and learning from their own experiences, so that they become aware and conscious about the thing next time, so that's while, people's experiences differ, not everyone makes the same mistakes and not everyone learns from them. **

=__<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Seeing and Believing __=


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What do you create from your perceptions? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Perception is how we see ourself, how you see the world, how you interact with our world, how you interact with ourself, with each other. And this creates reality, because now we can know that what's going on is real, because we see it from a specific perspective that specify us and creates REALITY. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In this case, one could ask, what belief or models affect our perception? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Belief effects our perception, because for example if we "Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail" **<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> **then we will percept in a whole different world, we will believe that is impossible to fail so we will keep trying, because we convinced ourself with what we belief in.**
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">And models, a three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, affects the way we look at things, and clarify some of the vivid images in our brain about the things that we don't know their shapes or structures. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This leads to the question of if, or how are, the senses used in the different Areas of Knowing? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">We use our five senses in everything, and we learn new and different things from them, so we gain knowledge from being in different experiences that we couldn't experience without using out five senses. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Distinguishing Appearance from Reality **
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How would you be able to confirm if your perceptions are representing what you are experiencing accurately? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Compare with other people's perceptions and see if they are close to each other or the same, and this will confirm us the reality level that we perceive. **

=__<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Reality __=
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So if there is agreement that perceptions may not be perfect, then how do we get around them to perceive reality? Or, is this even possible? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">I perceive reality through my senses, the five senses: sight, smell, taste, sound and touch. Everything I perceive as being outside me is really happening inside me.So does the world exists and I'm here living it, or is it that I exist and I create this world around me? ** **<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Whatever reality my eyes perceive differs from the next person's. If I do not recognize a given form and cannot perceive it with my five senses, then that form doesn't exist for me, and human beings are not perfect, so obviously that the things we perceive are not going to be perfect. **

 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 19pt;">What is the underlying nature of our emotions? **
 * <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: 19pt;">Class work: **
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Personal answer: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Emotions comes from our hearts, it is a reaction to all of the things we face daily, so for example, when we are sad, we cry, when we're happy we laugh, when we're angry we shout. But sometimes we let our feelings to over-control us, so that's why we need logic, our brains to kind of control them, and keeps us sane. **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Group's answer: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Common- From our heart, it is the unconscious expression of exactly how we feel inside. If we are sad, we cry...if we are happy we laugh...if we are angry we shout...then we feel relived. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Uncommon- Emotions are the partnership of mind and heart, they mix to help us remain calm, collected, sane, in control. For example, if we were not using our minds to control our emotions, and we were only our heart we would all be...crazy. Although at time we allow our mind to control our heart too much, and end up lying to ourselves. For example, when we are trying to get over someone we like, our minds tell our hearts we are over them, but we soon realize we need to let our heart feel without the thought. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When you feel an emotion, how do you know you are feeling that way? Can you explain why you are having this emotion **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Not all the time we can feel our emotions, sometimes if we are for example a bit sad, but happy for a reason, then our happiness will cover our sadness, so we're not going to feel this emotion. We just know, for example if we're happy, we just smile for no reason, if we're sad, tears just fall from our eyes. There is no specific reasoning for why we're having this emotion, it's just a common reaction with what we deal with daily. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Describe the process by which you develop an emotion. In what ways do we describe emotions through language? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">It is the process of, in particular the processing of significance, specific reactions, behaviors, feelings, and action. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">feeling, sentiment; reaction, response. passion, strength of feeling, warmth of feeling.instinct, intuition, gut feeling; sentiment, the heart. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can you reason about emotions? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Some of our emotions can be reasoned, for example, we passed a test, so we're happy, but sometimes they can't, for example, sometimes we're in a good mood for absolutely no reason. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What things influence your emotions? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The world around us, the people we deal with everyday, the weather... **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are controlling emotions a good or a bad thing? Explain with examples. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">If we were not using our minds to control our emotions, and we were only our heart we would all be...crazy. Although at time we allow our mind to control our heart too much, and end up lying to ourselves. For example, when we are trying to get over someone we like, our minds tell our hearts we are over them, but we soon realize we need to let our heart feel without the thought. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How do emotions change as you get older? Why does this happen? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Emotions change when as get older because we get stronger, and our own mind grows and we start to notice other things, and more important things than our toys and color book, so become more mature, and this happens because we deal with things that makes us learn and we make mistakes that lessons were taken from them. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are emotions influenced by culture? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">It depends, most of the times yes, if our culture is close minded, then our perspective on the world would be small, so we're going to think on specific things, and these things might change the way we feel.. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can emotions affect the way we understand something? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Yes, for example, if we're insisting that dinosaurs didn't existed, then no matter how people explain to us and give us examples form real life, our mind will not change because that's how we feel and believe. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Can emotions limit the reliability or even the validity of a knowledge claim? Provide examples. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Yes, for example, if we're angry, we deny to understand something, and we set some limits in our minds for our understanding. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can emotional responses be misunderstood by others? How do you get around that? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">It depends, sometimes for example the whole class fails at a test, and i am smiling, people would think, that i don't care about my grades, but what i am actually thinking is, hope, that i would get a better grade next time. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Emotions as source **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can emotions be an important aspect of creating knowledge? Provide examples **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Sometimes, if we have the curiosity and we love a specific field, for example, then we'll try to enhance our knowledge on it. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is emotional intelligence? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> the way in which you interact with people, and how you relate to them. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is there such a thing as Intuition? Would you rely on it as a reliable way of knowing? Provide examples. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Sometimes, we shall allow our intuition to guide us., but sometimes we need a confirmation to the intuition that we have **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can you classify emotions? What categories could you create? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">All emotion is both good and bad. All emotions are the same. Anger can be construed as bad, happiness as good. What is important is that one should understand that all emotion should be tempered with logic. Without the balance of logic, anger can lead to the over-controllness on us . One can be too high or too low.. acting on emotions alone is not a good thing.. The perfect balance of emotion and logic is sanity, mental healthiness. **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What role does emotion play in some of the different areas of knowledge? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">It plays an important role in our lives, because it helps us for wanting to know more about life. **

=__<span style="color: #3366ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">Reason __= Are you always reasonable in your reasoning? What does that mean? Not always, it depends, like for example sometimes we are only reasonable to ourselves, that we make up any reason to it, but the other times, it really has a specific reason.

The Nature of Reasoning

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What exactly is reasoning? a cause, explanation, or justification for an action What does the process of reasoning entail? Every reason has a specific process, and everything happens for a reason, therefore reason has a specific process. Is there good and bad reasoning? Yes, sometimes reason things differently, sometimes bad, and other times good, it all depends on the situation..

Is there a history of reasoning? Yes, everything that happened before has a reason, so there is a big historical meaning for reasoning that no one knows..


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Types of Reasoning **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What are inductive and deductive processes of reasoning? What is informal reasoning? @http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/dedind.php **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Inductive reasoning works from specific to general. **


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is reasoning done to produce knowledge about something specific, or something in general? How is this done? Provide examples of each. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">When can use inductive or deductive reasoning, it depends on the situation. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">In deductive reasoning: We might begin with thinking generally and then we can narrow it down into something more specific. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">E.g.: **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Dana: teacher. Zahraa and Rami: students **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Zahraa writes in the board " Miss Dana is a bad teacher" with a very messy handwriting and then the teacher walks in and then I accuse Rami, because he is the guy, and guys have bad hand writing. **


 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**In inductive reasoning: We might begin with specific observations, and then end up developing a general idea from it.**
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">E.g.: **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Rami: teacher; Dana and Zahraa: students. **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">All days of the week, Dana keeps zoning out, so Zahraa tells to the reacher (Rami) that there is a student who keeps zoning out in class, so Rami's instantly knows that the student is Dana. **

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 30px;">Is language personal/individual or is it part of a shared community?

Identify a topic or situation. Is this idea clearly true, or false, or where between the two?

Language is the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional, so it can never be false in my opinion. It is clearly that with all our communication methods, language is used, whether it was words, symbols anything, it is used somehow, and here comes the question, is individual, as if in like we're the only one who understands it, or it it between a shared community, or is it universal, and my answer is that no matter what language is language, whether if we make it up, or it's well known, it will always be true.

What makes it so certain or uncertain? (or almost certainly true or false)

=
<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">We seek knowledge by asking what could be known without doubt. In doing so,we rejected everything external to a person because it could not be known with certainty. So my answer is that in language we are always uncertain, but we say whatever we're thinking because that's the way that we will learn certainty. =====

How important is it? What makes it important? (important or not so important)

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">Language is important, because it helps milliions of people communicate within this world of different dialect, cultures and within this world of buisness. it is a part of speech that is important and sometimes needed for one's survival.


 * - If you think about each word carefully, it is able to fit in to each category of meanings of words, which are Individual, Shared and Common.
 * - For some words, there is a cultural meaning that comes up first before the individual meaning. For example, “Cinema” in Saudi, in this culture, it is considered wrong and so, for this reason, there are no cinemas in this country.
 * - The inventing of words are individual at the beginning, but common when shared. For example, Shakespeare and Newspeak in 1984. Some of their words are in the dictionary and are used in everyday language.
 * - Language is a strong aspect of WOK because it gives meaning to the words and how they are viewed differently.
 * - Language has both advantage and disadvantage to globalization, for example, for example when people communicate, they have different views on how companies should be developed.
