Robust Knowledge

The definition of the word ‘Robust’ is wealthy or powerful built. Robust Knowledge is Knowledge that is relevant and accepted by actors in the context of its application. Robust knowledge requires both consensus and disagreement because it is a knowledge that is powerfully built, a powerfully built knowledge because consensus refers to collective opinion and disagreement refers to lack of approval. Although it does require consensus and disagreement, in some fields it is not necessary. Mathematics could be an area of knowledge that could explain why this claim is not accurate. Arts could be used as an area of knowledge, the arts could explain why this claim is justifiable. A good way of knowing that helps supports mathematics is reason, reason
is the power of mind to think. Another way of knowing that answers to the arts is language, communication is an important part of the arts.
Robust knowledge is the application of something that is known from a person’s experiment on a certain subject matter. Something can be robust if it can be explained and justified. Robust is the value that is placed on the knowledge that is brought from past experiment. I believe that the arts support this claim because if there was no disagreement and agreement in the arts, it would be boring instead of being spontaneous and different. The arts would not be the same if there would be different or the same perspective, it would not be art because everybody has a different point of view. That is what makes the arts Robust, it is required to create a powerful knowledge. Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written by Shakespeare, some may say that it was the best love story ever told, some may say that it was not wise and that it does
not explain love in any certain way. Language is a relevant way of knowing in the arts, language is communication. Communication is important in the arts, without it there would be no way to argue about a certain piece or try to understand the meaning of the piece of art. Language is relevant on the creation of the robust knowledge, without there would be no way to disagree or agree on that field.Many critics may disagree with each other and agree that Romeo and Juliet was the best love story ever told. The different perspectives of this book support the fact that robust knowledge does require consensus and disagreement. It shows that although different people have the same or different perspectives in this book, it creates robust knowledge because it is relevant and accepted by other artists in the contexts of this application. As long the conflict is between the people from the same field it should be robust, they have enough knowledge that can support their opinion on a certain subject matter. This claim is supported by the art because it justifies why artists in the field require consensus and disagreement to create a powerful robust knowledge. Others may say that the arts do not require consensus and disagreement because it should have one perspective.
In the painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso, Picasso painted that piece for one reason. The painting described all of the civilians pain during the bombing, all of the sadness and pain that was constructed because of the bombing. Not only did the painting express the event, but it also expressed how Picasso felt about the bombing. The painting only had one meaning, so other may say disagree in the arts field that robust knowledge does require consensus and disagreement. The painting only had one meaning, it was Picasso’s own opinion and emotions that explained what the painting meant. That means that others may disagree with this claim and argue that robust knowledge does not require consensus and disagreement because it should not require different perspectives, it should only require the perspective of the person that created the
piece.
Mathematics is the study of objects and their relations. Mathematics seeks the right answer on a certain equation, if it is wrong then it is not correct nor relevant. Mathematics does not require consensus nor disagreement, if the answer is not correct then you cannot use consensus and disagreement, the answer is final and it has to be right. I disagree with this claim when it comes to mathematics, mathematics cannot have disagreement nor consensus since there is one final answer. The knowledge in mathematics is still robust, it requires relevant and acceptable context to answer the equation. When I am taking a test, I cannot get the wrong answer and try to argue my way out and why I think the answer is right. The equation cannot have more than one answer, it requires one answer and that is final. There cannot be different perspectives in mathematics, as there is only one answer, so there needs to be only one perspective. The reason is a part of the ways of knowing, and it is part of mathematics, as you have to understand why something is right and answer it. The reason is the power of the mind and understanding. Mathematics is a part of reasoning, you need the power of mind and understanding to answer the question. Robust knowledge is in mathematics, the knowledge is powerfully built, it is accepted by the people in that field.
Others may disagree that mathematics always require the right answer. Statistics is deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data in math. If you disagree with something and would like to change your data, that can easily be accomplished. Statistics are not always accurate if you would like to change something in the data you can. It can be supported that mathematics does require consensus and disagreement in math. It is still robust, it is powerfully built and is accepted by the people as they also may want to change something in the data.
