On science and uncertainty

Science has so many connections to connect to. from the evolution of humans to the cars we use all has science within it that we can connect.
This article has not has not extented my knowledge because all i have learnt in may science lessons so this article does not broaden my knowledge. And was not helpful at all the i thinkk my science teacher has given me more knowledge than this article.
the challenge is that we humans narrow the area of knowledge of science and don't expand on how it backs up other ways of knowledge.   

Indigenous Knowledge System

In Madagascar, the position of Tompondrano ( keeper of the lakes) is a lifelong position that is traditionally passed down the first son when the existing Tompondrano dies. the position of the Tompondrano is important because it is the Tompondrano who makes significant decisions concerning the lakes, such as when the fishing season can begin.

IS HISTORY A SCIENCE ?

I think that history is a science, depending on what context you use it with. When studying dinosaurs, history is a science. The two work together. History itself is a science, because when you look at the timeline when things happened, it is a science to figure out the exact dates or the relative dating. Then again, history isn't a science because science is just that, not history. History is just facts that happened and science is trying to figure out certain facts. It's almost like Computer Studies and Math. You use math in computer studies, but they're not the same even though each go hand in hand.

A MORAL DILEMMA

One day i went to my dad's office and took his pen. At that age i did not know how much that pen costs and i took it then i said i didn't know where it is. Then the whole office staff was scolded because of me. then i decided to put the pen under his table, and then tell him that i got it it was under the table. At that time i felt bad for the employees in the office because they did not do any thing wrong. The dilemma was that if i tell him i took it then i would be beaten and if he did not get the pen some one Innocent would lose his or her job because of me. which i didn't want to happen. that when i decide to put it under the table.  

Reflection on Greg Craven's logic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zORv8wwiadQ

After watching the video of Greg's logic i think that in my opinion it simplifies the way to decide what to decide if a problem arises. this logic is very good and it is also used by businesses to solve conflicts. in this video Greg chooses option "A" over option "B" because he thinks that if we choose option "B" and do not take any step to prevent the disaster and it takes place then it might be a catastrophic disaster which may cost many lives. he says we can use the money to prevent and then it happens rather that not spending money and it happens.

however because there is a 50 - 50 chance for the disaster to happen or not to happen , if they spend the money and it happens then well and good but if it does not happen then million's and million's of dollars are wasted which money could be used on something else like education , food , poverty etc 

he logic of Greg's theory is that it gives you possibilities example;

when there is an attack in East African Countries by Terrorist group called Al-Shabab then the rest of the world  is adivsied not to travel to those countries this could be a disaster to the country because there will be a crisis in there tourism industry.

Al -shabab Attacking East Africa	Going to East African Countries	Not Going to East African Countries
Attack happens	Losing their lives.	Saved their lives from the attack by not traveling to East Africa.
Attack Does not happen	Enjoying their holidays and the beauty of East Africa.	Spoiling their holidays and not getting a chance to visit the beauty of East Africa .

  

IS SEEING BELIVING ?

I think I can not believe, in what I see because , the sense of seeing varies on the amount of light reflected on what we see and also the colors it is showing us . we can have the same item with the same details but when they come from  different sources. and this makes the human brain that what we see is right and we believe in it.

IS SEEING BELIVING?

Reflection on language

After being introduced by language in TOK, and knowing how it helps in the way of knowing.i have learnt how language is important in the way you understand things.

How do you explain something or say something if there was no language?

i can not write this blog if there was no language, because language allows you to think about something so that someone can understand what you are trying to say .

if there was no language as an input then you can not process it to be able to think and are you are not able to put your thoughts into language again.

That is why language is important in the ways of knowing.
