Without application in the world, the value of
knowledge is greatly diminished." Consider this
claim with respect to two areas of knowledge.
Central knowledge question: To
what extent the application of
knowledge can define the value
of it?
How useful is the application of
knowledge to the society?
How memory helps to
intensify the value of
knowledge?
Thesis: The value of knowledge is
fully defined by the application of it.
If knowledge is not applied, its value
is totally diminished.
Due to memory because people
loose notion of that knowledge
making its value to be diminished.
When knowledge is not applied, there´s no
recognizement of it and therefore it is
useless.
Practical problems are solved by
applying knowledge, intensifying its
value, therefore if no knowledge its
applied the value of it is diminished
by being wasted.
Counter
argument:
Each individual may give its own
value to knowledge according to
their experiences. (Using
sense-perception).
In relation to the area of art
people can imagine so many
different things giving its own
value of what they think its
rational.
Natural sciences
Eg. I havent had my period for 5 months and when I went to the
doctor he told me it was because I wasnt producing enough estrogen
and therefore my endometrium isnt thick enough to produce my
period. I learned in biology class that estrogen is the hormone that
produces the endometrium and this knowledge lost its value due
that I lost notion of it until now that I was able to apply this
knowledge to understand that is really important to produce this
hormone in order to be healthy.
Reason: they have reason to apply this
knwoledge. Language: its needed to
share knowledge. Memory: with memory
people can share knowledge from
generation to generation.
When people discover things
realted to this area, they apply what
they discovered by sharing their
knowledge meaning that this
knowledge is useful for society.
Mathematics
To be able to solve certain
problems in maths its needed to
apply other preovious knowledge in
the area.
Memory: people need memory to be able to apply the
knowledge in this area. Reason: people have a reason
to use math knowledge to be able to solve a
mathematical problem.
Eg. In math class I learned that in order to find sine of a triangle you
need to know the opposite and the hypothenus of the triangle. But if you
only know the adjacent and the opposite you need to know the
pythagoras theorem in order to find the hypothenus and be able to find
sine of the triangle.
Reasons why I´m
interested in the title
It can be useful to know
how memory influences the
value of knowledge.
I would like to see how
shared knowledge
intensifies the value of
it.
It is interesting to discuss
the value of knowledge.
