How Do People Always Seek Knowledge?

Knowledge is something that everyone wants to acquire. But do people always seek the same knowledge? As an example, consider the scenario where in there is a new advertisement on mobiles shown on the television. When we look at the advertisement as a user, we would consider buying it while a businessman would look at it as competition. So, people have different opinions and therefore different people seek knowledge differently. As the quote comprehensibly puts forward the idea that till today, whatever knowledge an individual has attained, it is generated from the people who haven’t agreed to things stated by others but created their own concepts. These people are affected by varied internal and external factors that shape the way they think
He is annoyed by this fall as it disturbs his thoughts and he wonders why do things fall? Is it to disturb him? However, his personality is unique, it is driven by curiosity and he notices things fall downwards as if it was drawn to the earth’s surface. He asks around and people share their experience and knowledge. He combines all the opinions given by the people with further research. Gravity is there for the world to see. Personal knowledge of a apple falling mixed with shared knowledge by others leads to great scientific breakthroughs. His experiences shaped the way he perceived things. This knowledge is substantially affected by the external influences such as cultural or religious groups and this is what makes it shared knowledge. There was a time and still are where in people from remote areas believed that looking at the eclipse brings bad luck in one’s life. But how many of us agree to this? There are thousands of people who actually travel across the world to witness the eclipse. So times have changed although there are certain religions, which have still imposed theories in people’s minds that such things are unlucky
But, today, with the help of natural sciences we can outline that it causes air pollution and is harmful to our environment. However, how many people can they convince not to burn crackers? Through argument a distilled piece of knowledge can be made shared information.

Personal knowledge isn’t fixed and is reformed with an individual’s education, age, experiences, and opinions. On the other hand, Shared knowledge is a collaborative effort to create knowledge. Shared knowledge constantly evolves with time, place and community unlike personal knowledge. This evolves with revolutionary changes in the way people approach certain things. As modernization has taken over the world so has the way in which people perceive certain things. In this essay, the two areas of knowledge that I am going to explore are Natural sciences and Indigenous knowledge systems.
