"Every second of every day, our senses bring in way too much data than we can possibly process in our brains." - Peter Diamandis Sense perception can alter the way we know the world. This quote from Peter Diamandis  is a great way to present the idea that Sense Perception and Reasoning connects with each other. The reason of a thing's existence can be explained through Sense Perception. Reasoning separates most people from a delusional and ignorant state. If you know the reason of the things in life through the means of sense perception, you would know the reason as to why one exist. The influx of data that comes in to our brain is too much. One example of this is Optical Illusion. Optical Illusions happen because of the brain trying to 'trick' us.

I recently came across this article of yours on your website titled "Twtr? It's majorly bad! Leading headteacher condemns 'text speak' for eroding schoolchildren's language skills". I believe that there are ways that the current so-called "modern technology" can be viewed as a miraculous method of improving a child's grammar and vocabulary skills. English is a universal language. It is used and molded by the frequent users of the language. A lot of social media revolves around the English Language. This language helps us communicate with people of different gender, age, ethnicity, nationality and different preferences. With so much people being involved in it can create intimacy towards these kids. These so called strangers can also help and correct their English skills and the reverse can also happen. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Reddit have also encourages children to practice their writing skills. They tend to write...

As I drove down the streets of Memphis, Tennessee, there was this strange aura that had filled the city. The Rock and Roll culture has greatly impacted the way its citizens move. A musical genre originating from the black community has turned into a fashion statement for everyone of every race or gender. In this past week I was happy to meet one of the greatest artist who had influenced (and challenged) communities across the United States with the use of their Rock and Roll genre in their music. Elvis Presley spared his time to talk to us about his musicality and adversities of becoming the greatest "King of Rock and Roll". He told us he only had 30 minutes before returning to the recording studio.

"A balance between shared and personal knowledge is extremely important in the quest for truth" (Oxford p.38) This statement tells us that the truth lies between your shared and personal knowledge and experiences. Shared knowledge has been shared and possibly manipulated over the years that the knowledge had peen passed down. These manipulation can affect the way that we know things and can even make us gullible to believing in baseless facts. This is where our personal knowledge comes along. Our intuition plays a huge role into which shared knowledge that we obtain is the truth. Our personal knowledge acts as a filter to filter out the baseless knowledge we get from people because we are susceptible to being manipulated by others. Evidences that looks very convincing can present the fake knowledge is real and the only truth. One of the examples of this is the Flat Earth Theory. Back in the days, people thought that the earth was flat and people were scared to fall off the...

Once upon a time in the realms of the string cosmos, a small Asian boy named Azim Baruno set off on a quest to pursue his aspiration to fulfill his vocational successes. A pursuit for a long life that is hard to find which is learning a new language. *gasp* It began with a small discussion with my parents about my future. They were concerned that my life would take a twist. They fear that I will become something useless like a waiter at McDonalds or something like that in Indonesia.
