Beliefs Or Knowledge That Is Independent Of Culture
Beliefs Or friendship That Is In open Of CultureThe prescribed payoff assumes that companionship and stamps ar linked to purification .so what is association?, what ar beliefs?, what is enculturation?.Belief is defined as a principle or idea considered to be true (Websters dictionary, 2004) .By this explanation the meaning that I got was belief is a prison term or an opinion without caring whether there is check or not. So what is cognition? Knowledge is what one knows, the system of facts accumulated over a period of time (Websters dictionary,2004).What is husbandry? Culture is appreciation and understanding of the arts, skills of a given concourse in a given period. Anformer(a) definition is civilisation is the customary beliefs, companionable forms, and material traits of a religious, social or racial groupAll this definitions led to the question as to how knowledge, belifs and socialisation ar acquired by a person. So how do we acquire knowledge? Knowledge is usu every last(predicate)y acquired through sensory perception an model organism a curios little boy will acquire the knowledge that cactus plants are not meant to be held by the naked hand after he/she touches the plant and feels the pain. Knowledge can also be acquired through licit operations and emotional reactions. This kind of knowledge is caused by biological responses to stimuli, and could be considered not to be dependent of glossiness an example being seventh cranial nerve demeanors which are not taught or learned only when they are biologic eachy determined.So how is market-gardening acquired? Culture is basically instilled in us when we are born. An example being me as I was born in Kenya and grew up in an Islamic background. So my culture is Islamic and Swahili and we do rich person our fair share of beliefs.Buddhists consider that knowledge is acquired through direct experience. So how is this experience achieved? Well the Buddhists achieve this experience by meditation adversary to the western traditions, which gives emphasis on a clear expression of thoughts and argu custodyt. Buddhists call up that words tend to expose the truth on the other hand, the light of Buddhists beliefs and customs for discovering the truth shows dependence of the culture of that knowledge.So are beliefs self-supporting of culture? I will set out to say yes on this. ? I will keep to say yes on this. People may so no because some beliefs such(prenominal)(prenominal) as you must always drudge clothes and shoes when leaving the house well I custom classify that as a belief only when a ritual. near beliefs are usually based on religion and culture. In the caseful of religion I as a Muslim fuddle more beliefs that are dependent on my religion some of them being I must pray five times a day, the consequence of lose prayer is that we will burn in hell for a in truth long time. I believe in this theorem although there is no proof of sort but its a bel ief based on our religion.Beliefs that are based on my culture which is the Swahili culture are numerous. Some shamble smack and some do not need sense but I have no other choice than to live by these beliefs and watch over them no matter what. A belief that I have always been told by my mother and has never ever made sense to me is that we should not clip our nails at night. I dont see how it applies in a real life situation. I usually cut my nails at night and so far so good nothing has happened to me. Another belief that is based on our culture is that we are told not to borrow saltiness at night. I dont know why it had to be salt but still like I said they do not plant any sense to me at all, and we are expected to follow this beliefs although I think they dont make sense. barely we do have to follow them, But some beliefs that my culture expects me to follow are somewhat sensible and I do follow them, examples of the sensible beliefs and rituals are like we should resp ect our parents and follow there each and every command, that is a belief that makes sense and I do believe that the people that do not live by this rule are actually bad people. I know there is no evidence that if you do not respect your parents you are issue to get punished by the Almighty God but its a belief and in order to believe you dont need evidence or anything. All you need is your mind on whether to decide that you are expiration to believe in that belief or not.Another belief that I tend to differ with and is totally and stringently based on culture is gender equality. I did some asking around and I effect out in most of Kenyan tribes as well the Swahili culture tend to believe that men are more superior to women. They rubric that man was created first so making them more superior and all that the women in our cultures should do is stay at home and prepare meals and straight the house while men are the bread winners. This is not such a wise belief, men and women ar e both humans so why should one kind be more superior than the other?, they were all created by the same creator. With all this said I thing that all of my beliefs are breakaway of my culture. Some other people like the westerners who have no culture or dont know anything slightly their culture also have beliefs like the men should take mete out of their children and women, that is a belief that is common to all cultures in the earthly concern and also to those who dont have cultures so on an Americans point of view not all of their beliefs are based on the culture because the clearly have or dont know their culture.Community education (sociology), is dependent on the cultural expression of human knowledge that has been repeated again and again. Alfred webwruses was take ining in the sociology of culture and he came up with the term kultursoziologe which mean cultural sociology which is a special(prenominal) branch on sociology which is entirely dependent on culture.Culture is a very significant concept found in many branches of sociology, social stratification in the fields of scientific and social network analysis.Is knowledge based on culture? Well I will have to answer no on this query, knowledge is not entirely independent of culture. People may argue that knowledge such as traditional medicines, herbs are based on culture and some of those herbs that the traditional men used to use are used now by the scientists to make the medicine we consume today and they end up saving lives.History, its the study of past events and the effect on present life. Some of the knowledge in history is independent on culture a good example being the creation theory which one of the three possible theories of the air of the world is based on culture and religion. In Swahili culture , the Elders have told us to believe in the creation theory and that it is God who created the world in six days and life starts on the seventh day. Knowledge such as this is independent of culture and. I gained this knowledge exclusively by interacting with the elders of the family and they told me all sorts of storiesKnowledge such as mathematics in example has no connection whatsoever with culture and such knowledge is not dependent of culture even one bit. Mathematics is purely about numbers and in my case the Swahili culture the elders who are supposed(a) to be the wisest of humans dont even know simple math like one plus one.So are our beliefs and knowledge independent of culture? To some extent YES Why am I saying yes? Its barely because most beliefs are based on culture and example being me, most of my beliefs are based on my culture although I do have beliefs outside my culture like if I drink multitude water at one go It may react with my body forcing me to throw up so its my belief that we should not drink much water and slowly as well. Knowledge also is somewhat dependent on culture and an example being the community sociology which is a in all branch in sociology that focuses on just culture. I then advance up with the answer that both beliefs and knowledge are dependent of culture
