...contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? As the world is globalizing, we see many changes around us. The knowledge we learned once from books, is now more important to experience. However the question that strikes every mind today is which source is more important? Gaining knowledge from experience or from books? People may have different opinions. Admittedly, both have advantages and they are important. We can’t reject the fact that ‘Not everything that is learned is contained in books. “If we say that we are trying to learn how to swim, we can’t learn the whole things specifically without experiences. This tells us how important experiences are. But as far as I am concerned, gained knowledge from books is more important due to many reasons. Firstly, gaining knowledge from books is more important is because we can’t experience everything in the world. There are lots of things that we learn through our life and we can’t learn them all by experiencing. Nevertheless, if we find particular books that include the information we are looking for, it will help us understand better. For instance, how could possibly we learn about forefathers without books? How could we also learn about the history of our countries? Obviously, it is impossible to learn these things by experiences. Thus, gaining knowledge from books play an important role as not...

...How much of one’s knowledge depends on interaction with other knowers? Most of a person’s knowledge comes from and depends upon the interaction with others. We simply cannot have knowledge if you are isolated from others. Take the example that you are alone, in a room, with no windows. In this situation the person in the room cannot possibly have any understanding of the outside world. They would also not know the most basic of information. Would one know that one was human or that there are other people beside oneself out there? How would one also think of things if there were no former knowledge of language? The person in the above example can be thought of as one of the humans that are living in the underground cave in the article that I have previously read titled, “The Allegory of the Cave.” Both the person in the room and the human in the cave have no prior knowledge of the outside world. Though the human has seen shadow, heard voices, and has had some interaction with others, he still does not know whether the things that he has seen or heard are in fact true. The person in the room does not have the luxury to leave the room like the human in the cave did to explore the world. Because the human was able to leave the cave, he gained new knowledge and learned that his previous knowledge was not correct. A way that we can gain knowledge from the interaction of others is through our parents or peers. As we are growing up, our parents help us gain knowledge of the world...

...One of the reasons why I am so interested in participating in the NAIOP University Challenge is that I am an incredibly competitive person. It is rare to find an outlet for my competitive spirit on this campus and even harder to find one that utilizes my knowledge of Urban Studies & Planning. Furthermore, being a member of UC San Diego’s team would be a great opportunity for me to branch out and grow as a professional, as well as explore the Real Estate and Development field. While I have done similar work in classes such as “Urban Design, Theory, and Practice” and “Urban Design Practicum,” the NAIOP University Challenge would allow me analyze a site from many perspectives. In the aforementioned classes, I gained both practical and theoretical...

...PHI/105 Dialogue between Plato and Aristotle Assignment P: Given the soul is imperishable, souls gather knowledge throughout their existence. Souls carry this knowledge in every earth-bound body they inhabit. The soul has learned everything during its prior worldly interactions as well as it’s time in the other world. It can be assumed a man’s soul has learned how the art of blacksmithing. This man’s soul, when reborn might not have the given knowledge to blacksmith an adequate sword, yet we should not be alarmed should he recall this knowledge. We must assume his soul learned the art of blacksmithing in a former life. A: I understand your argument, but submit the man you describe could learn the art of blacksmithing by simply seeing weapons and swords that have been created. The man can use the swords he has seen in creating one for himself. The man uses “similarity” to form his sword to the sword that has already been created. The man simply learns the art of blacksmithing through previously created weapons. P: How can you assume the man learned the art of blacksmithing? Is it not possible that his soul could have been a blacksmith in a former life. If this man was to create an exemplary sword, how can it be assumed he learned to create such perfection with it being his first time practicing the art of blacksmithing? A: Imagine you had no knowledge of geometry and namely circles. If I drew a circle and asked you to create a circle half it’s size, could...

Typically, we attend school all the way up to the age of eighteen and we have a choice to make on whether or not to attend college or set off into the American work force. Regardless, of what choice we make learning is going to occur in both aspects of attending college or starting a new job/career in the American workforce.

Entering into the workforce you will gain more of a hands-on, everyday...

...Personal Responsibility Cheryl Rose GEN/200 April 2, 2012 Personal Responsibility Personal responsibility is paramount for college success for several reasons. As a student who does not take ownership or responsibility of his actions, but instead finds excuses or points his finger at others for his accountabilities, he may want to rethink the long journey he has ahead. Without responsibility for an individuals’ own success, he will need to reconsider his yearning to attend college. Taking Ownership Although the degree of personal responsibility may vary among individuals, it is important to recognize that each individual must take ownership for his actions and behaviors as success is dependent on the individual. An important strategy for students is to take ownership of his success while attending college. For those individuals who do not take ownership of his actions or behaviors, there may be consequences to pay. As Denis Waitley stated “A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.” My personal responsibility will include time management, collaboration, and a positive attitude. Responsibility Whereas personal responsibility must start with us as individuals, one must also note the importance of personal responsibility in a team environment. Personal responsibility...

...Having knowledge is essential in everyday life. In the case of Marcus Sedgwick’s novel Revolver, having knowledge drove the characters’ actions, and ultimately saved their lives. This importance of wisdom is also evident in the article “The Age of Enlightenment,” which discusses the history of humans learning more about our existence and the world in general. Although the Age of Enlightenment occurred many years ago, it has a lasting effect on today’s society and is still prevalent in current news. The theme of the necessity of having wisdom is present in Revolver and is also seen in the mindset of the Enlightenment thinkers. Knowledge is always important to have, in any situation. It was paramount for Sig to have knowledge, especially of guns, during his experience with Wolff. He learned this view from his father, when Einar passed on his personal wisdom to Sig on their sacred Wash Days. After Einar’s death, Sig “was reminded of his father, who would always say, ‘Know what you can. Know everything you can know’” (Sedgwick 17). Einar’s advice to Sig proved true when a piece of knowledge Einar had shared with him saved...
