    Common Knowledge

    As you read in the WR last week, writers cite borrowed information by providing a signal phrase, page number if a printed source, url in case of a picture taken from the web, etc. One exception to this rule, however, is whenever the information is common knowledge. Common knowledge is a term applicable to any piece of information that is widely available in basic sources about the subject. In a paper about psychology, for instance, you wouldn’t need to cite that Freud is considered to be the “father of psychology” or that he developed theories about the interpretation of dreams and repression mechanisms, as these are well known, widely published facts which can be found in any basic source relating to Freud, such as Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia.…

    Common Sense

    In the year 1776 Thomas Paine wrote his pamphlet Common Sense to convince the struggling colonists that succession from the British monarchy was not only inevitable, but also justified, and that it was time for the people of the American colonies to rise up against the British control. At this time the American Revolution had been in progress for about a year and the colonists were divided about what to do. There were Patriots fighting for independence, Loyalist who were still loyal to Great Britain, and those who were still undecided and sympathetic to the colonist’s grievances but weren’t ready to risk going to war by severing ties to Great Britain.…

    Common Sense

    Thomas Paine’s life started in January 29, 1737 in the town of Thetford, County Norfolk. Joseph Paine and Frances Cocke were the parents of Thomas Paine and they both wanted him to become something in a higher profession other than to follow his father’s trade. With this intention, his parents made a sacrifice to enrolled Paine into the local grammar school at the age of six in hopes of him becoming a lawyer or a doctor but unfortunately, Paine dropped out of school later on in the years to follow his father’s trade. Paine didn’t do so well at that either and he experimented with other jobs such as a privateer, an excise, and finally a journalist. Paine became an important figure publishing many of his works including “Common Sense”, an influential piece that pushed for independence, which was published in 1776 and followed by “The American Crisis”. Later in his lifetime, he was arrested for not supporting the execution of Louis XVI and was put away in jail for some time. However, Paine escaped the Guillotine with the help of James Monroe and returned to the Colonies after being invited by President Jefferson. On June 8, 1809, he died at the age of 72 in New York.…

    General Education

    With living costs as high as they are in this day and age, it is completely unreasonable to expect the average individual to squander already limited resources. Receiving a bachelor's degree today requires an assortment of classes that often are not directly related to one's career objectives. For some, they find this to be an enjoyable adventure, broadening their knowledge and learning about new aspects of life, but for others this is just burdensome. However it is looked upon, the college curriculum still requires a diverse selection of courses to develop well rounded, responsible individuals, but in turn creates added pressure upon students.…

    Knowledge of Acquintance and Knowledgea About

    In a passage from his book Psychology, William James proposed the idea of knowledge of acquaintance and knowledge about. As he wrote to open the passage “there are two kinds of knowledge, broadly and practically distinguishable: we may call them respectively knowledge of acquaintance and knowledge-about.” James’s meaning of knowledge of acquaintance, in contrast to the knowledge about, could be interpreted as the knowledge for which one cannot convey, thought, meaning, and/or ideas, with language.…

    General Education

    Our curriculum dates far back to 400 A.D. The Roman Empire was in complete disarray. Luckily, a highly intelligent member of the Roman Proconsul named Martianus Capella confronted and diagnosed the problem. During this time of conflict it was truly a possibility that one may be taken thousands of miles away due to disjointed authority and foreign conflict. One may even find themselves in strange place where the people spoke an unfamiliar language. Capella stated ever so eloquently that to be prepared and survive in this constantly changing society we must know everything, or as close to it as we can get (Dutch). Indeed, this seems unlikely. However, acquiring a general education will surely aid one in this process. As soon as we graduate’s high school, society expects us to either go to a community college, four year institution or enter into a vocational career. If a student takes the college route, they are required to take general education classes. As a student participating in the process of acquiring a general education like many young adults today, we may start to question the importance of general education. General education provides a wide variety of courses in fields such as history, art, language and science. These courses are offered to provide rudimentary instruction and essential skills in specific areas such as, math, science and history. It is imperative that general education be continued to not only prepare students for a changing world, to give an overview of knowledge that allows an informed decision to be made, but most importantly, to decide on a major.…

    Common Sense

    Common sense is the knowledge and thinking ability a person acquires through experience and from teachings passed on from others, and is used to deal with everyday life in appropriate manners. It is what a person relies on to tell them, generally, what is right or wrong, good or bad, and what is best for them in a given situation to sustain overall well-being. It reflects the thought process that is used when faced with possible uncertainty, and it relies heavily on memory. It enables someone to compare their present to moments of their past and to use judgment based on connections between the two (sometimes in opposition to logic). In other words, common sense is a person’s intuition, and this instinct is constantly molded over the course of their lifetime.…
