doing this theory of knowledge course really has changed my perception of knowledge because although i've always been quite critical of knowledge, now i'm just more aware of everything. or at least i thought i was.
in fact, the so called 'prank' that our principal pulled on us, really did open my eyes to just how accepting of authority i really was.
it also showed me that if something is in a power point, i will most likely believe it. and that does shock me, because that sounds rather sheepish to me, but i completely fell for the graphs and statistics that dr lennox threw at us.
i do feel really privileged to be partaking this tok class, i feel as if i have a really good oppurtunity to better myself as a learner, a thinker and a knower. i know that may sound a bit contrived, but it's true. i do believe that knowledge is more than just pure academia.
you need to know how to apply knowledge and you need to know how to interpret the knowledge you have gained. questioning, discussing and being open minded are all ways of gaining knowledge and to me, showing you have knowledge.
