Super Rough Draft

Warning, this essay is not a light read. Its awash with philosophy, and might have brought about more questions than it answers. If that sounds intriguing, then please continue. Words were meant, from the beginning of time they were created, to define a certain aspect of life and the world around us. When examined in the dictionary, words have a cut and dry meaning. Usually a word will be defined and presented with the different connotations of the particular word. Like a lot of occurrences in life, words seem to be nothing but what they are on the surface; words that define a certain aspect of life. Its only when a word is scrutinized to the point were it starts to take on new abstract meanings does one truly understand the word. One such word is knowledge.

When asked what knowledge is, people's returning answers vary to a certain extent. They usually agree on its definition, but have opposing views on how its used and presented. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word knowledge as “To own the knowledge of; to confess; to recognize or admit as true” It also says refer to acknowledge, which its definition is “With complement: to recognize or confess (someone or something) to be the thing specified.” . In other words, knowledge is the act recognizing concepts repeatedly till they form memories in one's mind.

Knowledge is defined with being able “to recognize or admit as true.” There in lies the first of many questions. Is knowledge always true?It all depends on who is being asked. A person's perception with out a doubt has an affect on knowledge that is presented to them. When asked asked about perception, during an interview process, Caleb, a twenty three year old co-worker, responded with “ You can show a shade of a color to ten different people and get ten different responses.” Humans are not born with a repository of knowledge at their disposal. We are however born with the tools to gather, interpret, and reverberate knowledge. So this leaves one to put their personal stamp on what ever they have learned. Meaning, a person chooses what to believe and what to discard as they see accordingly, thus making knowledge a word that has to be defined on an intrinsic level.

I know this is no were near complete, its because I'm just clueless on were to go next. I'll put more time in over the weekend for the next draft. sorry
