“How do I now that what I Know is true?” Consider this statement in terms of what you think constitute the Theory of Knowledge.

It could be said that there is an endless number of arguments about this some that say that there is away of universal knowledge and some say that we will never know. We can be our perception of what knowledge can change depending on many different factors that will be mention and many people throughout history had try to define knowledge but they did not consider certain factors that affect the way that we receive the information.

To start we have to try to define what is knowledge, It can be say that knowledge is to be certain of the truth or accuracy of something, to understand or perceive facts. Knowledge can be gained by experience, authority can give knowledge and it can be obtained by our senses. The perception that we have of the world or the perception that other people have of the world is what may “bend” the information that we get from the world. Some time we only see what we want to see this means that our mind filter some of the information that we get for our protection. Our own emotions can change tick as and “bend” the thins that we see. The sense that we use most is the sight and is one of t the sense that can be trick more easily; there is some things that we cannot see because they are just in front of our optic nerve that connects the eye with the brain. There are some elements in our surroundings that we cannot see and this change the way in that we comprehend what is happening in the world, for example we cannot see ultraviolet light. The shape of things or the color of things may “blend” our perception of the relative size and direction that the things have. The sense of hearing is a sense that is harder to trick than the sight but it has some limitations of it own, for example we cannot ear ultrasonic waves. The brain is the one that converts all the information the nerve impulses that the senses produce in to a some thing that we can understand. The information that some times we get can be change for many reasons like I mentioned before. So if our brain interpretetas the information wrong our knowledge of perception is wrong. That points that the knowledge by perception can be very wrong and we cannot only relay on our knowledge by perception. Our perception of the things is one of the ways in that our brain miss understand the information given by our senses. Fro example if we like too much a person and some one says that he has done terrible things we would filtrate the information given by our hearing and ear nothing about it.

The language barriers are another thing that limitetas our knowledge because we cannot know every language in the world and learn thins that are happening in other countries of the planet. Also if we do not dominate the language that is use in a conversation we an mist understand a comment and our knowledge of the person that say the comment would be wrong. This is another thin that can bend our knowledge and understanding of our environment.

A grate part of the knowledge that we get today is from books, this books are written by authors that have ...
