Ways of Knowing




 * Perception **

 What are the primary ways in which we know the world around us?  Brain, Senses: Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Touching and Tasting.

Are There Stages to Perception?

Yes, there is the stage were the person have different perceptions.

 Here are some recognized stages. Define them and find examples:

 - Filtering:  Being able to focus on multiple things at one time. e.g. Focusing on a person's doings while looking at another one.

 - Halo and Horn effect: The effect of what changes person’s absorption while being in a good mood (Halo), or being in an evil or bad mood (Horn). e.g. When having a trouble turning on the computer, if we are in the horn effect, we’ll think that it’s broken, and we may get even more angry and destroy it, or we may take it to the reformer. But if we are in the halo mood, the first thing we’ll do is look at the electricity sire and check if it’s plugged in or not, then make the right choice after that.

 - Organizing:  Putting ideas or thoughts into categories inside mind to be able to define or recognize the intended mean of them. e.g. When given directions about someone’s house, and trying to organize them to be able to know where the house is.

 - Stereotyping:

 - Filling in information: Gathering necessary information about something to be able to know it or define it. e.g. gathering information about unknown animal, such as the axolotl.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> - Interpretation: <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Our mind may have some problems with some things, so when we have the interpretation of it, we’ll have more ideas and answers about our questions and problems, so the main idea is interpretations mean more information. e.g. When having a problem knowing the mechanism of the computer itself, so we get some specialist to help us interpret it and explain how does it work.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Perceptual Illusions **

Is your perception always accurate? Provide examples of when it is trustworthy, and when it might not be. No, it's not always accurate, because we may have some failure in any of our senses. For examples: being able to conclude how does any picture of an optical illusion work, or how does it trick the eyes. When I go anywhere without wearing my spectacles, it will be really untrustworthy.

Are people’s perceptions the same? How do you know this? Does this invalidate your or another person’s experience? No, because in some situations, different people can perceive this world differently, and they also have different ranges of senses, just like any other organism. For an example, some people may be able to recognize any of their friends voices in different situations, but others may not.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Why might misperceptions occur? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Misperceptions may occur when having some problems with the materials or tools of perception, senses, or when our perception is not trustworthy, as we have mentioned above. Some times, there might be a insufficiency in some of our senses, which can cause us some troubles being percipient in some situations that we have to be able to sense completely. For an example, we might have Myopia in our eyes, so we won’t be able to see without our eyeglasses, son we’re having a misperception. It might even happen with the brain, we can see now people having shortage with their brain performance, that they cannot understand things very well.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Selectivity of Perception **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> How do we validate our perceptions? Do we ignore some and rely more heavily on others? Why? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">We can validate our perceptions by comparing our results or information, ways of perceiving things, seeing them, hearing them or feeling them as well, with other people, or with facts we've known and proved in our world. In fact, we all do ignore some facts and perceptions we know, and this will kind of lead us to "Why Truth Matters" page, which we discuss there everything related to how we ignore these truths or facts, and how we try to make them invisible. We may also make some perceptions more in a bold line for us, which means we try to make them either more real or true, or we make them control us and make them the only ones in our lives. by doing that, we go back to ignoring other perceptions, and we continue in this endless circle.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> By asking, defining, what things might affect how you interpret your perceptions? Is this selectivity conscious or unconscious? Mostly, our abilities controls and affects our interpretations for different perceptions. By abilities, we mean different means or tools that we use to do things that other people cannot do, or at least for most of them. So, when we have the ability to talk widely with no barrires, for an example, we may be able to interpret our perceptions easily and fluently, so that means as we get more abilities related to perceptions, we will be more able to interpret these perceptions and find the way to reflect them. Another thing may affect our interpretations, is the outside-world effect. By this we mean everything that can affect us from any other place outside ourselves. A lot of examples can be made about this, like we can say the environment we live in, we also can say other creatures rather than humans can affect us too. The most important effect of interpretations, is the passion of other ourselves or other people's that can leave an effect on us. These passions can be the changes may occur on our way of living, they can be other people we love or hate, they also might be proceedings that can happen and change things. All of these are conscious, because they're all about things we kind of do inside our minds, and we use them to interpret perceptions.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can you provide reasons why people perceive things differently? Explain. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Different Ranges of senses, makes people have different perceptions, so when the older people hear weaker than the young people, this because they have different tools or materials they use to perceive things, here they have the same tools, but with different ranges and limits.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Seeing and Believing **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What do you create from your perceptions? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Beliefs, mostly, because all the things around us are all about belief. So, when we say someone believed in something, we can change some words and say they perceived that thing.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> In this case, one could ask, what belief or models affect our perception? Religious beliefs can be very effective to our perceptions. Also we can say that cultural beliefs may also make a change on our perceptions, and give them an effect.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> This leads to the question of if, or how are, the senses used in the different Areas of Knowing?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Distinguishing Appearance from Reality **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> How would you be able to confirm if your perceptions are representing what you are experiencing accurately? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Appearance is the outside look of a person, and how does people look to him, but reality is the inside look of a person. So, the appearance is the personality that people think of a person. It can be different than the reality, which can be considered as person's inside personality.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> How would you be able to confirm if your perceptions are representing what you are experiencing accurately?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Emotion **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">The nature of emotions
<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What is the nature of our emotions? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Emotions are feelings that come from movements and changes in our lives, that make our internal personality be in a kind of a shock, either positive one, like when winning a competition we have a strange feeling that makes us happy, or it can be negative, like when losing someone close to us, we have the feeling of being sad and miserable. All of these feelings are called emotions. Emotion is also how do we respond and/or react for these changes, and how do we express our feelings for them.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> When you feel an emotion, how do you know you are feeling that way? Can you explain why you are having this emotion? , e.g. When my football team scores a goal, I know that I’m happy by shouting GOAL! So my emotion here is my type of response that I do when receiving, it can be happy like the football one, or it can be sad like when making

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Describe the process by which you develop an emotion. In what ways do we describe emotions through language?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can you reason about emotions?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What things influence your emotions?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Are controlling emotions a good or a bad thing? Explain with examples.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> How do emotions change, as you get older? Why does this happen?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Are emotions influenced by culture?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Emotions as obstacle **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can emotions affect the way we understand something?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can emotions limit the reliability or even the validity of a knowledge claim? Provide examples.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can emotional responses be misunderstood by others? How do you get around that?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Emotions as source **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can emotions be an important aspect of creating knowledge? Provide examples.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What is emotional intelligence?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Is there such a thing as Intuition? Would you rely on it as a reliable way of knowing? Provide examples.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Can you classify emotions? What categories could you create?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What role does emotion play in some of the different areas of knowledge?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Reason **

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Are you always reasonable in your reasoning? What does that mean? No one is always accurate in his reasoning, in some situation; people have a behaviour that is not reasonable. The best example for that is when the person is influenced with Alcohol or drugs. In these situations, the person does things with no reason, and will have a behaviour that does not match with normal human behaviour. So, even if he gives a reason, he still won’t be reasonable, even in his reasoning. The person might be in a normal situation when he does not have a reason for his behaviour, such as when being under a fatigue, due to hard work or any other reason. To be reasonable means to be able to define the purpose or the feeling that causes the person to behaviour in any kind of behaviors.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">The Nature of Reasoning
<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">What exactly is reasoning? <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">It is the process of finding beliefs, reasons, actions, feelings and/or conclusions.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What does the process of reasoning entail?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Is there good and bad reasoning?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Is there a history of reasoning?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Types of Reasoning <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What are inductive and deductive processes of reasoning? What is informal reasoning? [] <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Deductive process is the process of going from a general reason, going down to a very specific on. So, it goes from up to down; from <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Inductive reasoning, is the opposite, it’s the process of going from a specific reason to a general one. So, it goes from down to up.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Is reasoning done to produce knowledge about something specific, or something in general? How is this done? Provide examples of each. How do you know if you are doing it correctly or not? When is it valid or invalid? When is it true or false? Does it always lead to truth? Create syllogisms and let's see – visit [] for examples. Are all types of reasoning reliable? How do you know this? Check these fallacies: let's find examples in your life of when they occur - [] What is the relationship of reasoning to knowledge, the creation or discovery of knowledge, and ultimately, to truth? What is the difference between empiricism and rationalism? Which do you think explains reality with greater accuracy? Provide examples of each. Visit:[| http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rationalism-empiricism/] What sorts of things might influence reasoning? What is the relationship of the other WOKs to reasoning?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Some Syllogisms: **

Bugattis are expensive, Top gear bought a Bugatti, it was expensive.

Saudis wear thobes, I'm Saudi, I wear a thobe.

Earth is beautiful, Landfills are on Earth, Landfills are beautiful.

Humans cannot teach, my cat is a human, my cat cannot teach.

Lions can fly, I'm a lion, I can fly.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Inductive Fallacies: <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">- Unrepresentative Sample: <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Giving a judge on something by experiencing a small sample of the same thing. So we see only the appearance of the sample, and then we make it a proof that for example is it good or bad, or it can do something else or not...etc

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> **Examples**: <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">My example was that if we want to prove that the students in the school are all excellent students, we can look at the people in the math club, so if their good students then the whole school students are good, or we go to the football team and we find that their bad students, and we judge that the whole school are not good.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Video Example: **

media type="youtube" key="Xu25lUDJZgY?fs=1" height="385" width="640" align="center"

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">In this video, people outside judged on the manager by seeing this sample of people, and we're taking about the person who claimed that the manager was hitting him and crashing the office with him. So this what related this video with the unrepresentative sample, which is a part of inductive fallacies.

I went to the barbershop in Wednesday and it was full. I went Thursday and it was full too. I went Friday and there were even more people. So, I'm guessing it's going to be full today too.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Inductive Examples: **

All people who have blue eyes are blond, my friend's cousin have blue eyes, so I'm guessing that he's blond.
 * Deductive Examples:**

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Language
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Activity: As a group, create a small skit showing how language might be problematic <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Students choose a list of problems that language poses in creating understanding and the audience must define what the problem is.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> A little Linguistic theory <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> - Linguistic determinism - language determines the way we think. Example: Innu have many words for snow. “The real world is to a large extent unconsciously built upon the language habits of the group.”(Sapir in Lagemaat, p. 68) Each language thus represents a different social reality; it is not merely a case of having different labels for the same reality. The words create a reality and defines our interpretation of it. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> - Ricoeur on Discourse and Action: The discursive act - []

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Some theories of language acquisition: []

It is clear that language and communication is filled with symbols. Your example of the "crescent moon" showed there were many associations with the idea of a crescent moon. You found individual associations, group, and even universal associations. See the homework page for your assignment related to this idea.

Consider in what ways the term you chose can be understood literally and what ways it can be understood figuratively. I ask you to consider which representation is more true? The literal meaning of the figurative meaning? In what ways does each one convey truth?

As a next step, try this activity. Complete the box below with examples of literal and figurative truths for the different areas of knowing, then explain why one is true and one is not true, or why one is more true than another, or what is true about the statement at all? If these are not true, then what value are they, and how do we get to the truth when trying to decide things?

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1- Is language inherently literal or is it figurative? **

We started by saying that language is the vehicle with which you convey your meaning. Basically, you can choose a sensible -Language is the way we convey our perception, emotion and reason (P.E.R) to other people. -Individuals have their own language P.E.R. -“Hang on”, someone could wait or jump on you. -“I’m going to kill you!!”, the person saying it is either angry or a serial killer. -All words can be used as play or plain communication. -There is a difference between written and spoken. -Verbal language tends to be more playful while sign language is usually used as plain communication.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2- Is language play? In what ways? Provide examples. **

- Most of the words can be imagined as pictures or ideas in most of people's minds, and then refer into real things.
 * 3- Do words represent images in our minds or some idea out there, or do they refer to real things?**

- Words that are about real things in life that we can touch, see, hear, taste or smell, are represented in our minds as images or pictures of the thing, though the pictures can be different, but they'll talk about one thing, as long as it's about one specific meaning of the word.

- Most of the words that are imaginable refer to real things. eg.: when someone says there is a dog outside, then most of people will have the idea or the picture "Dog" in their minds, so this helps knowing the word and what does it refer to.

- Words that are about feelings or things that are not touchable or visual are usually unimaginable as pictures, and even if they are, they may not refer to real things directly. eg.: the word "Life" doesn't refer for something real by saying it just like that, but it may make some individual mean or picture for some people.

- Some people make images or ideas for different words, even if they're not real things, to help remember them or make them easier to understand, and that helps a lot building the brain and the memory, and helps making them stronger.

- Usually, words have different images inside each one's mind, so they may have the same meaning or different meanings, depends of the way the person sees or understands the word. This is very similar to the Homonym, which means words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings. eg: the word "Heart", for some people it may be pictured as a human heart, others may imagine it as a love heart, and some may imagine it as the center of something.

- Words that are universal sometimes have the same picture in our minds, so the whole word will have the same picture when they hear a word like that. eg.: the word "Nine" have a picture of the number nine for most of the people. Some words may have the same picture in specific situations. eg.: the word "Sun" will have the same picture of a sun, when talking about weather or a twilight or something.

- Names that are unique, which means they're not similar to another word, are the words that have only one picture or very similar pictures in people minds, and this is for the situation when talking about a specific known person, and everyone knows that the topic is about him. eg.: "Ludacris" is a common words that will have the same picture for the same person in our mind, or similar pictures, which is the singer.

- Words that are not imaginable are understood by experience and repetition, so people also may make picture which refer to the experiment or the action, and then relate it to the word, so this type also can refer to real things, but indirectly.

- From the previous point above, we notice that the two types of words, words which can be imagined, and words which cannot, can refer to real things for most of us, but the difference is how does it refer, directly or indirectly.

-It depends on the situation, whether a person is being serious or sarcastic -Confusion between literal and figurative can lead to misconceptions -Can be literal or figurative depending on how people would interpret it -People sometimes misunderstand what you say and take it literally -We use figurative to add humor -For figurative, we play with words -Literal is the way you describe what it is -Figurative is when you play with words by creating metaphors -Examples: *Spill the beans -When you spill a bag of beans -When you tell someone the full details of a story *Black eye -Someone's eyes (iris) are black -A person was punched in the face and has a black eye *Blue Monday -The sky is blue on a Monday -A sad monday *Rabbit's foot -A rabbit's foot
 * Is language inherently literal or is it figurative?**

-When written, words can be interpreted to have any intention behind the words. (this interpretation can be guided and restricted in -context though) -Words in context, or dialogue provides a different meaning to the literal word -When speaking, emotions can be incorporated into our words (via, volume, speed, tone) -The interpretation of words can be non-literal or hinting when spoken (Sarcasm or 'playful' voice like Bilal's) -Spelling and Capitalisation on paper has different meanings (Thnx vs Thank you) (March vs march) -Fonts suggests different meanings (Italic, bold, font size) -The words coming out of different mouths have different weight (instructions or commands from teachers vs children) Many people -have accents, this accent when speaking the written words provide a lot more information
