Sources+of+knowledge

Knowledge sources To acquire knowledge we need to have some sources. For example: authority, senses, assumption, educational understanding, logic, ethics, beliefs and faith, history, environmental, familiarity, observation, memory, knowledge, trying, experiences, trust and media. That will help to figure out some information about the object that we want to understand it more. One of these sources is senses, because senses is the first way that help us find more by looking, touching, hearing or smelling the object. For example, if we take a pencil we can know it made from wood by looking to it, or we can hear some body who is using the pencil in writing then we will know it is a pencil sound. So we will know the object is pencil. When we try to use an object we can realize why it was made, and we can figure out the good way to use it. For example, if we give the pencil for kids who are two years old and let them discover what is that, in the end of the test time they will be able to use the pencil to write with it. So they get this action by trying the pencil and that what we need to do with all the new things around us. Everything has more much details than what we know, so we need to observe each single part of the object, because that will help us to discover a lot about this object. Maybe we may get some facts about the object. Sometime we can find an inside story for this object. For example, we can find out if the pencil already used or not, by looking to its small eraser, so if we find the eraser used then we can say it is an old pencil. If we can see some bites on the pencil we would say it was for child who was hungry when he used the pencil. As a result we all can find a lot of information and more details about an object by using anyone of the sources of knowledge.
