"Knowledge within a discipline developes according to the principles of natural selection"_1
- Thesis
- The process of natural selection follows the principle which indicates that
the fittest will survive, furthermore it is a scientific principle of evolution,
which means change, when we apply such principle to knowledge I am able
to understand how knowledge might be aprove or discard by the
enviornment were is been exposed. Natural selection is a principle we can
use to understand the way knowledge is approve in a society. By fittest we
must specify that is the answer to the pressure of the environment therefore
it is a selection not an immediate change.
- We are capable of relating my thesis with certain examples; in this
particular case I would like to expose an example I had during my CAS
activities, while I was in Amazonas building the gutters, while I was
building the gutter one of the kids ,member of the indina community of
"valencia", told us that the gutters needed to be inclined to aproximately
10 deegres, we tought he was lying because he was small and indian, we
thought he did not knew what he was saying. After this one of the chiefs
told us the same, in this example i was able to understan how the
enviroment was pressuring the knowledge the kid was sharring, thus we
decided to discard it. This is an example were we are ablo to understan the
scientific principle of natural selection and apply it to knowledge.
- Rosalind Franklin was a women who in the 50´s helped to discovered the DNA
structure, her knowledge was shared and very phew people use it as a source of
information for further investigation, in 1953 Watson and Crick, two great
scientists proposed a model based on the infromation she obtained in her
investigation and the information they had recolected. The model was accepted
and both scientists shared the nobel price. However, there was no creditfor the
colaboration of R. Franklin since she was a women and it ewas not a relaibale
source in such times.
- During the coldwar, USA and Cuba calloff relationships while the tension was rising up, Cuba was
completly isolated from the world since USA was a world power country. Cuba, however, was in
need to produce their own pharmaceutical products, this cause that the investigation in the
country incredbly developed, to the point they managed to produce new products which were not
yet sold in other countries. Cuba´s investigation and research was completely isolated from the
shared knowledge of the world. Cuba in this particular case had a knowledge which follow the
principle of natural selection, since, in this environment it was coinsidered the ideals and the
knowledge obatain in such countries ideas which promoted a different and contrary to what USA
coinsiders to be right, therefore the knowledge obtain in those times was waste, only know when
the environment is appropiate the knowledge once obtain can be now shared

- Counter-arguments
- While we use a scientific concept to
understand and evaluate the
processes of knowledge it is complex
to evaluate the way individual
knowledge is obtain. We must,
therefore, problematize the idea of
using a scientific concept to evalute
knowledge. We may state that the
process of natural selection may not
always work, knowledge is not always
lost it just kept and saved for a
moment in which it may be appropiate
to use it. We may use in this case the
examplae which I have used as an
example for my thesis, Cuba.
- We may satate that knowledge
is not a product of evolution;
change, but knowledge is the
product of comprobation

- Areas
- History
- Why?
- When we try to find an equilibrium of the study of the past and the study of
knowledge we are able to find a serie of knowlege which has been or greetly
missunderstood or incredibly elevated and sometimes missunderstood.
Since it is more comfortable to interpret knowlege as true, without
questioning it, it will provide to a certain knowledge some type of
missconception. This will be relateed to the process of natural selection
which indicates that when there is no competition the species may
reproduce and therefore survive, the same happens to knowledge, when it is
not evaluated it misght be missunderstood or even wrongful, but still it will
continue to be accepted by society as a fact.

- Why?
- Ethics
- Why?
- While ethics is the study of morality it is important to
evaluate this title in this area, since it will be unethical to
ignore someones knowledge. We are able to understantd
this previous ideal with the example I have provided in
my thesis, How ethical will it be to discard someones
knowledge just because it might give less credibility
because it has a greater pressure form the environment?
- Example
- CAS Experience

- Why?
- The human sciences
- Why?
- It is possible to evaluate this title with
this particular area of knowledge, it is
therefore crucial to understand the
human science of antropology, How
does the actor of knowledge responds
to a knowledge provided by someone
the medium coinsider with a deep contempt
- Example
- Somethings cannot be understand by the human mind
such things can be religion, this example is more
vissible in such times as the colonial times in Colombia,
where the colonials were sceptical about the way
religion was been imposed but after this it was totally
accepted

- TOK Question
- To what extent can we measure the pressure of the environment to the knowledge that is been shared also being evaluated and only after this be sheared and accpeted by the society?
- + Q
- To what extent can we use scientific concepts to evaluate something as abstract as knowledge, while science is focused in numbers and clear data?
- Until which point can knowledge be evaluated as a process?

- Interest
- I am particulary interest in this title because I enjoy the
combination of the questioning of knowledge and scince
involve. I believe there are somethings science cannot
explain and knowledge is one of them...
