Introduction to Theory of Knowledge

From the first lesson of ToK until prior to the Eid holiday, we were introduced to the subject, its style of teaching and just a general feeling of what we will be learning and discussing. We started off by learning about the areas of knowledge and how they can provide evidence for our ways of knowing. We did a but of class work and interpretive activities to realize how we see things or classify the difference between fact and belief. We categorized different bits of information into the ways of knowing and listed things that we know are true just to get an understanding and familiarize with how categorize information. Additionally, we watched a video on the differences and influences of both conscience and emotion to show how these both affect our thinking.

All in all, I am looking forward to learning and interacting more in this class in order to improve my critical and recognition skills which i can see myself applying to my other subjects or generally just to the flow of information in my daily life. I personally would be more interested in how we scientifically or ultimately decide something to be a fact and what properties it must require to make it absolutely irrefutable.
