Theory of Knowledge

Introduction

In the following Tok essay, I will be exploring the core ideas and concepts of the extent to which the knowledge carries an ethical responsibility. The essay will be discussed throughout with the ethical background, the concept of perception and belief in this regard. The issue of knowledge arises with the passage of time and the media creation and radical studies that are supported by the new knowledge. This is the phenomena is being acquired by the world quite extensively. For example, the scientists have their responsibilities when they acquire any further knowledge.

There are four different Ways of Knowing (WOK) namely; emotion, reason, sense, perceptions and language can assist us to develop an understanding of conclusions. Mathematic is one subject that just like ethics is validated by logic. Logic is not defined in the same way in ethic and mathematics. Logic in mathematics means that a logical proof is determined through the use of a formula. The logic in ethics differs from perception to perception. Every culture and environment has a different understanding of the issues.
