Chapter 4 Question #1


I believe that knowledge and can be obtained but at different times. In a sense wisdom and knowledge are both obtained through education and experience just that one more than the other. So to explain this, I believe that knowledge obviously is obtained more through education that we accumulate from school such as college and prior. As for wisdom, it can be taught in school but more on the lines of experience. Knowledge I believe is something that happens over a greater period of time. Usually you think of older people when you think of wise people and it is true. They have been alive longer first of all and because of that they have experienced more. This includes life lessons so they learn from it and can pass it on to younger generations. It may not necessarily be from books as well. From experience, I think the things we learn in school gives us knowledge more than wisdom just because like I said earlier we gain knowledge through life lessons.

  1. I agree with you that wisdom and knowledge are both obtained trough education and experience. I feel like wisdom is acquired through experience and knowledge is what you learn to gain the wisdom. We go to college for education and gain knowledge, where as with wisdom you gain more through just experience. I agree with you when you say knowledge is something that happens over a great period of time. Also as time progresses you gain more wisdom and are smarter because of both education and experiences. Life lessons are important because you learn a lot from your experiences and it helps you in some decisions in the future.
