Without application in the world, the value of
knowledge is greatly diminished.” Consider this claim
with respect to two areas of knowledge
KQ: To what extent does the application of knowledge determine the value of
knowledge? (Introduction)
How can the value of knowledge
be determined?
Does all knowledge have
an application?
(COUNTER) Does knowledge still diminish
with application?
How does the value differ in
personal and shared knowledge?
How could knowledge be more
valuable? (refer to theoretical,
procedural)
AOK: MATHEMATHICS (intro
+throughout)
The value: Allows quantitative analysis and enables the studying on various areas in
life, such as business, sciences, astronomy and economics. Without application,
Mathematics would be just numbers and formulas without purposes
Alternatives: procedural and theoretical
Reason
Without reason: even with
application, you might not know
its purpose. With reason: more
valuable
Memory
WHY?
AOK: ARTS (intro
+throughout)
The value: Arts expresses feelings and
emotions from individuals. It represent a
culture and helps form social bonds
Alternatives: procedural and theoretical
Language- communication between people, created to be shared
WHY?
Art is often used for exhibit and sell. It is came from personal knowledge,
which is influenced by one's imagination, emotion and its experiences and
develops to shared knowledge. Music, as a form of music are applied through
sharing. Artists and musicans learn from each other, if not the knowledge
itself will simply be personal, the value or depth could not be fully explored
examples
Imagination- part of personal
knowledge, does not have to be
applied or shared in order for it to
have its value
WHY?
Different interpretations of an
art piece, evokes emotion and
response in the viewer
examples
Forms of knowledge
(Intro + throughout)
Theoretical
Practical/Procedural
Personal and shared
Main argument (sum
up in conclusion)
The value of knowledge will
diminish without application
Without application --> not as valuable
The value of knowledge will NOT
diminish without application
Each individual might give their own
value of knowledge according to their
experiences (sense perception
