Discuss with reference to the human sciences and one other area of knowledge.]]> 2023-09-08 06:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690178940 jbihary https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690179307 Do we underestimate the challenges of taking knowledge out of its original context and transferring it to a different context? Discuss with reference to two areas of knowledge.]]> 2023-09-08 06:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690179307 jbihary https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690179786 Do we need custodians of knowledge? Discuss with reference to two areas of knowledge.]]> 2023-09-08 06:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690179786 jbihary https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690180201 Are we too quick to assume that the most recent evidence is inevitably the strongest? Discuss with reference to the natural sciences and one other area of knowledge.]]> 2023-09-08 06:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2690180201 IS THERE AN ETHICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR PROTECTING KNOWLEDGE? https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710881168 THE IMPURE NATURE OF HUMANS WILL LEAD TO AN IMBALANCE OF POWER, EVEN IN THE MOST EGALITARIAN OF SOCIETIES. AS SUCH, IF IN OUR MODERNIST SOCIETY, STRIVING FOR EQUALITY OF ALL THINGS, IF WE TRY TO PROTECT KNOWLEDGE, OR ALLOCATE THOSE TO PROTECT KNOWLEDGE, WOULD THIS LEAD TO AN IMBALANCE OF KNOWLEDGE ACROSS SOCIETY? EVEN IF WE TRY TO STORE KNOWLEDGE BEYOND HUMAN MEASURES SUCH AS IN TEXT OR INSCRIPTIONS OR ARCHIVES, WOULD THOSE MAINTAINING THOSE SOURCES OR COLLECTIONS OF KNOWLEDGE HAVE A UPPER HAND ON THOSE WHO DO NOT. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE MUST BE A COMPROMISE, EITHER WE ABANDON EGALITARIANISM OR WE ABANDON THE PROTECTION OF KNOWLEDGE.]]> 2023-09-19 13:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710881168 DO PARTICULAR AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE REQUIRE OBJECTIVITY? https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710890847 SOME AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE, SUCH AS ART ARE CONSTITUTED OF THE EXPRESSION OF THE HUMAN EMOTION. THUS, AN OUTLET FOR INTERNAL FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS THAT DEMONSTRATE THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THE HUMAN CONDITION. ON THE OTHER HAND, OTHER AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE SUCH AS HISTORY OR NATURAL SCIENCES ARE PURELY DESCRIPTIVE AND SERVE TO ALLOW US TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESSES AND MECHANICS BEHIND THE OCCURRENCES BOTH IN HUMANITY AND IN THE UNIVERSE. AS SUCH, WE CANNOT STATE THAT SUBJECTIVITY IS UNFAIRLY CONDEMNED IN HISTORY SIMPLY DUE TO IT'S KNOWLEDGE.]]> 2023-09-19 13:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710890847 Valeria https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710893281 The most recent evidence is usually the most relevant, however, not necessarily the strongest.  We are quick to accept things that conform to our understanding of the world and reluctant to change those views/beliefs because of idleness and/or fear of being ostracised.

As the strongest can be viewed as concepts with the most explanation, justification and evidence. And, how about 'fresh ideas' being 'exciting'? Maybe new ideas can negatively impact/influence some people.]]> 2023-09-19 13:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710898979 https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710899008 My approach towards this question would be to investigate how theatre has changed within history. Researching special effects, and/or how different conventions have developed over time.]]> 2023-09-19 13:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jbihary/vygfsx5hsacinlsy/wish/2710899008
