Gabriel Sapien Mrs. O'Rourke IB Theory of Knowledge 12 January 2016 Disagreement Between Experts There are many scenarios in which two expert parties are given the same facts, but still manage to disagree on the discipline. The two areas of knowledge relating to this idea are the human sciences and ethics. The two ways of knowing corresponding to the subject are perception and reasoning. Three key examples provide evidence that state that two expert parties can disagree on a discipline even though they are given the same facts. The first is the argument between the Apple company and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The second is Trump’s and Hillary’s point of views on foreign policy. The last example is Trump’s perspective on immigration …show more content…

Both areas of knowledge, human sciences and ethics, play a major role in explaining why experts would disagree on a topic even though they are provided with the same information. For example, the human sciences consists of how the human brain thinks, interprets, and analyzes. This is where the way of knowing, perception, comes into play as well. For example, the two expert parties have two different perspectives and psychological mentalities on the same topic. Ethics also plays a role in deciding whether which choice is the right or wrong answer. Ethics is the idea of being morally right. There are ethicists who provide what they think best is the right choice, but everyone has their different idea of what is right so there are arguments. One key world situation that is used as evidence for this statement is the argument between Apple and the F.B.I. over deciding whether to unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone. Both Apple and the Federal Bureau of Investigations knew that the iPhone had information on future terrorism, so this piece was the fact that both expert parties were given. The F.B.I. wanted the Apple company to manually unlock the iPhone in order to unlock terrorism secrets that the …show more content…

As discussed before, perception and psychology is apart of human sciences describing how humans think and perceive stimuli. Reasoning is the way of knowledge that describes how humans perceive and interpret information. One world situation exemplifying this idea is Donald Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s idea on foreign policy. Both of the presidential candidates know the same information specifically on terrorism and Isis. Also, both of these political experts understand the danger and threat behind terrorism on the United States. This fact of Isis’ existence would be the fact that Clinton and Trump both know and must agree on. However, the two do not agree on how to treat and dissolve this threat of terrorism. However, the secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, plans to establish a no fly zone over Syria in order to help dissolve Isis as a threat. Businessman, Donald Trump, thinks that this idea is ridiculous because it will only anger Russia by restricting them on where they fly and the U.S. and them are not very good friends. This shows that the reasoning and perception behind each of these two experts can skew the way they think based off of the same facts and information they were provided with. Coming from two different political parties, a democrat and republican will have

Ethics are the difference between right or wrong, to follow laws, what humans are supposed to do, common sense, rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or culture.

Throughout life we are set to many standards or expectations, whether it be our own personal standards or the standards that are set by others. One expected standard in particular is the act of being ethical. This could mean in the workplace or in one's everyday life. Being ethical can mean many different things to different people. To one man named Potter Stewart, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Courts (1958-1981), "Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have the right to do and what is right to do" (Thomas).

The idea of ethics can be shown many different ways, as displayed within our readings. When looking at ethics, there is a broad spectrum of what people believe to be right and wrong. One instance that I saw the issue of ethics was in the Disney movie Aladdin. When referencing the reading regarding ethics, there are six principles of ethics that can be shown through both this picture as well as this scene depicted within Aladdin: categorical imperative, utilitarianism, hedonism, the golden mean, the golden rule, and the veil of ignorance. Staring with categorical imperative, this principle states that right is right and must be done even under the most extreme conditions.

However, when the areas of knowledge includes the subjectivity as a method of acquiring knowledge, i.e. in many parts of Human Sciences and Religions, the way of knowing therefore requires subjective perception, either instinctive, emotional or spiritual, and thus should still be open for discussion either to support or negate a claim. In my view, the absence of evidence in one claim does not justify the dismissal without evidence when it concerns with the areas of Human Sciences and

Ethics can be explained as principles a society develops to guide decisions about what is right and wrong. Ethical principles that society has are influenced by religion, history, and experience of the people in the group. Meaning that ethics is based on guidelines we have learned while growing up, that helps us differentiates what is right and what is wrong.

I find that areas of knowledge based on sense perception often require constant consensus and consistent disagreement to ensure that the developed knowledge is robust. Alternatively, if the main way of knowing is faith, such as in religion or mathematics (believing in the closed axiomatic system), then there is no disagreement, yet the claims are irrefutable because they are based in faith, and as such, once accepted allow knowledge to be created and justified through all standards of truth. My response to this claim that “robust knowledge requires both consensus and disagreement” is that I agree with a modified version of this title, that robust knowledge from areas of knowledge based in sense perception requires both consensus and
