Blog #9 - RLS: How to kill a mockingbird


In what ways does this engage with Reason and emotion as ways of knowing?
The reason as a way of knowing engages with the reader when the text often includes elements of context throughout the text. The idea is so that the constant use of factual historical evidence “same language that concerned the school system in 1984” appeals to our logic that the text is credible and knowledgeable in the subject matter. As seen tied in with the United States history “we could illustrate in the history of the U.S. censorship with countless other books” Therefore, our reason leads us to believe that the article is true.

Emotion is directly engaged with the reader when the text uses harsh terminology like “yanked from an eighth-grade reading list”. This appeals to emotions as the idea of provoking someone as young as an eighth-grader something as innocent as a book creates an immediate scenic of prejudice against the school district for doing such. 

What knowledge claims seem to be at work in this text? 
There seems to be a lot of first-order knowledge claims, where the writer puts a lot of factual claims that seems to make the reader feel that the writer is credible in the subject matter and effectively backs up the text factually.

There also appears to be a range of second-order claim that is met to serve as a framework as to how we should approach comprehension of the first order knowledge claims. “the n-word, which this newspaper sensors and which Harper Lee potentially did not when she wrote her Pulitzer prize-winning novel about racism in the United States”

Hoes does your understanding of reason and emotion as WOKs and arts as WOKs help you understand this RLS. 
Form my understanding, simply we can look at an RLS from two angles, one that is from an emotional viewpoint, although that in it’s self is not tangible, you can’t take it anywhere. It simply is very for an individual to think for themselves. We rely on reason to elaborate on our emotions to an extent that makes it tangible and possible to explain our emotions. Often times understanding the main causes of an emotion is the best way to feel emotion as of in the shoes of the person in question.

Write a KQ that you could use for a TOK presentation in regard to this RLS?
To what extent can we predict the future implication of anything based on the past?

Blog #4 - Somatic Marker Theroy

Simple, we have an amazing ability to make opinions based on emotions. The somatic marker theory suggests that we can remember ideas, feelings, and emotions to particular events and situations that make us formulate opinions on the situation. The way we interact with the world, stimuli refer to our senses, (sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing) these are the sensory processes that tell the brain what to think in response to an Input, of which would be a situation (eating cake, being in a car crash), then the brain is the central processor that decides for an action, the brain does this thousands of times a day. In the end, it outputs out a motor process of in this case is an active memory, so when the same memory is repeated in life it can kick out the same motor response of emotion and reaction. By definition, we can say it is 'The link between emotions and decisions making. Damasio concludes that your choices are steered by your emotions.' - Our psychol

Blog #2 – How long can a global language last?

Try to imagine a world with only one language. Everyone speaks and refers to the same language, the same set of words and references. The impact it would have on the world is quite simple and positive, although it can easily have a lot of negative impacts. To talk about language, you need to understand where language comes from . Language comes from cultures and how we live our lives. It often comprises of short terms and half ideas that are perceived as whole thoughts because the person being spoken to would have come from the same the same social background. If the same sentence was spoken to someone with the completely different background they would not understand a thing. For example, if I said, ‘let’s get an Uber and hit up a Pizza Hut’. To someone in a modern city like Las Angeles, everyone will understand right away. If you said it to someone in sub-Saharan Africa they would not understand a thing. You would need to first explain what Uber is, a car, the internet, the p

Blog #5 - Look at emotions article - responce

Emotion. To what extent can we trust what is true? To elaborate on that, our emotions have a bad habit to recognize situations, judge and create feelings in an instant. Leading us to believe things we think are the correct but are far from. The article uses a great example where ‘Lisa’ goes on a date with a coworker, she agrees because of the stress of work. She thinks she likes him because she is a data with him when she does not even know him that well. The proposition forms the text describes a situation where we can mistake an infection for “love”. That sensation like anger, anxiety, hunger or illness is not as distinct that I might first assume, how we take that information and misinterpret them with the situation to creates a file of memory that we refer back to alone. In my own interpretation, I don’t think she is in love with the man. I don’t think that he is significant in any way to her. She is not in love with him, in fact, she is in love with what he
