[THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE] Blog #2: Shared knowledge on different perspectives

"By participating in the ownership of shared knowledge an individual belongs to a particular group possessing a particular perspective on the world" (TOK guide)

Shared knowledge is defined as the knowledge you receive from different Areas of Knowledge. This may come from your studies in school, the activities you do outside of school and other social ventures we are apart of.

This type of knowledge is unique to every person who are attending different events to obtain their portion of knowledge that come from a variety of areas of the world. Shared knowledge defines who we are because we use terms that we have learned in each of our Area of Knowledge that we have come across and may only be used in some of these Areas. But some of these areas can help us view the world on a different perspective.

We obtain shared knowledge from different people. This knowledge is stored in our minds. When we see things, we say things to ourselves such as "Why are my feelings hurt?". This is identified as personal knowledge. It defines who you are and it is the knowledge that cannot be shared to anyone because you are the only person that understands the definition of your own personal knowledge.

Some shared knowledge have similar definitions with other shared knowledge we obtain (such as the Sciences. They have some relations with each other). The culture, society, community, ethnic roots and other ventures you have encountered in your lifetime can influence on how you view things. Our perspectives are different thanks to our basis on shared knowledge from our influencers (society, community, etc.) because it shows the significance in how we shape our own knowledge, identity and language.
