KI: To what extents do ways of knowing prevent us from deluding ourselves? Justify your answer with reference to at least one area of knowledge.
Education is currently the most important thing in a child’s life.
Education provides us with knowledge about the world. It will pave the way for a good career in the future. It helps us to build our character while also enlightens us with knowledge.
It wipes out the wrong beliefs from our minds.
Additionally, it helps us to get a lucid picture of the world around us.
From education, children learn basic things such as numbers and alphabets, and later they learn how to use alphabets to spell a word and later learn how to make sentences using words.
Education is very important in a child because it could help the child to classify, categorize, communicate, and also understand what are they actually about to do later on in his/her future life.
Moreover, it is also important because it equips us with the expertise that is needed in helping us realize our career goals.
And yet inequality in education means that some children do not reach their full potential because their possibilities are limited before they even begin.
Ways of Knowing helps us to comprehend Areas of Knowledge by linking them with real life situations.
For example:
Human or Natural Science is an area of knowledge that truly depends on Logical or Reasoning and Sense Perception because the experiments and observations that are conducted are mostly analyzed by the Ways of Knowing as I already mentioned before.
We depend on science because it gives us unbiased and verifiable knowledge to make decisions in our everyday lives.
Science utilizes several scientific methods such as facts, theories, hypotheses and laws for foolproof evidences except for theories since theories can only be accepted or confirmed because it is not always correct.
Ways of Knowing are compulsory to have and it is consistently used day-to-day in all
