Knowledge is something that is learned or taught, from science to reading. However, there is a price of knowledge. Knowing how or why something works in the way it does is very helpful and is beneficial to you later in life. Knowledge is powerful, yet learning about something is time-consuming. New things are learned everyday and trying to know about everything is impossible. Knowledge is timeless.]]> 2017-02-23 20:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/155890109 breezyskyepuppy https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/155893547 The big question I have is, "What is the price of knowledge?" This essay is an argumentative one, so I need to rewrite this question in a way it makes sense, and that people can have different arguments on the question.
One way I rephrased the question was, "Does learning have more positive or negative outcomes?"
However, this question cannot be debated fully as I don't think anyone would say learning doesn't have a positive outcome because it does mostly have a positive outcome.]]> 2017-02-23 20:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/155893547 breezyskyepuppy https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/158840835 My first thesis statement was this: "The price of knowlege is a great burden as there is no time to learn everything in the world, but knowledge is beneficial later in life."

It's structured as a [I, c ID] This is a negative perspective on learning knowledge and not really my view on the BQ. It's definitely a viewpoint on the question but not the one I want to write about. ]]> 2017-03-09 00:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/158841566 breezyskyepuppy https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/158842291 My third thesis statement and possibly my final was this: "Knowledge is both a tool and burden, but knowledge mostly shapes people in a good way whether or not it helps."

This source is talking about how big companies are blocking certain sources either with copyright issues or preference. The title is "Knowledge is power," and that is true. PK (Public Knowledge) works alongside libraries to allow the information and sharing of knowledge.

This article supports the question of how knowledge is being affected in a bad way and not being supported by certain aspects.

My CD (Concrete Detail) would be; "Public Knowledge and libraries both have as their missions promoting the free flow of information and the sharing of knowledge..." This explains that the mission of public libraries and source-providing places is to provide information to all, even if it is copyrighted.

This source is talking about Karl Mannheim, a Hungarian-born sociologist who introduced the sociology of knowledge as a new field in the social sciences. He was a lecturer at the University of Heidelberg and later became head of the sociology department at the University of Frankfurt. He was dismissed because of the Nazi government in 1933 and moved to England to be a lecturer again. This is important because of the fact World War 2 influenced his writings on democracy and freedom.

This article gives the background of how knowledge was viewed as a positive in the 1930-40s.

My CD would be; "He saw interdependence as the characteristic feature of the modern era and viewed education and planning as essential for improving society." Interdependence is the dependence of two or more people or things on each other. However, an important observation I made from the quote is the phrase, "Education and planning as essential for improving society." He believed that education was going to be able to improve society. Why? Because education is learning, education is knowledge. Maybe he believed that learning about something could prevent a terrible event from happening again. That's what I believe. ]]> 2017-03-09 20:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/159121068 breezyskyepuppy https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/159542239 Citation: Rafferty, Terrence.

This source is talking about questions about knowledge asked that have no definitive answer. For example, "What knowledge is useful, and what knowledge is true?" This source is an overview of a book called "Flaubert's Parrot" which follows a detective named Geoffrey Braithwaite who tries to solve mysteries. Myself, I don't completely understand what fully happens in the story, but I like the unique thinking that is used in the story.

The unique thinking in the story makes readers thinks more deeply than they ever have before because questions that are brought up in the story seem very rhetorical and not possible to be answered without a full understanding of knowledge itself.

This article shows how questions about knowledge can go more in-depth than what people usually think. It shows the deeper and more complex side to knowledge.

My CD would be; "We understand that the gaps in Braithwaite's knowledge aren't meant to be filled, that the dots on the map won't be connected, that his questions don't need answers because they're more than questions—they're the events of a first-person narrative..." This explains why the readers of this book know that Braithwaite's questions won't be answered and shows how deeply the readers think about this detective in "Flaubert's Parrot."

This paragraph in the essay will be written in first person.

When I go to school, I am taught by many great teachers who are pleasant. School is required for all students between the ages 6-18. Because of school, I am exposed to different subjects and fields of knowledge that will help me progress later in life. What is beneficial about knowledge in school is if you take tests and quizzes, you are using your brain to answer questions that have been asked, and usually before I take a test, I study new knowledge given to me in class. Because I study and memorize the information given, I pass tests and quizzes with an above average grade. Overall, I show the county and the grading system that I am intelligent and can take tests and quizzes, and I prove to myself that I am intelligent.

In this society, there are a lot of people using media to catch up on the news. Most media outlets provide adequate information about a certain event, but certain media outlets provide inadequate information. There have been lies spread about the President of the U.S. on several media outlets several times before. There has also been and still is false advertising in the media. For example, a magazine writer is able to alter how a women looks on the cover of a magazine and within it by using photoshop.

This shows that information recieved online is not always correct and can corrupt people's views on a certain person.

Fake news cause tension between people who believe and respect different things, and this could possibly cause a war later in the future.]]> 2017-03-31 23:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/164076547 breezyskyepuppy https://padlet.com/breezyskyepuppy/i2013h770uad/wish/165207462 For the BQ essay, I fixed my thesis once and for all.
