2. Introduction Name- Daniel Kang Age- 17 Born- Seoul, South Korea Lived in- Canada, Turkey, Thailand 5th Year at ISB
3. Ways of Knowing The four ways of knowing: Reason, Perception, Language, and Emotion. The two for this presentation are: Language & Perception. Examples are MUN and IB HL History.
4. Language- MUN Model United Nations Main purpose is to simulate actual United Nations. Various rounds of debating and taking the position of the country you represent. Includes labels & stereotypes, Emotive meaning.
5. Why did I choose this example? Labels & Stereotypes- If your country is predominantly (example) then so are you. You represent that region or nation. Emotive meaning- Using strong, radical words to persuade or to promote your cause. =(?)
6. Perception- IB HL History Taken both in junior and senior year. Wide range of topics from causes and origins of wars to economic downfalls Parts of perceptions such as expectations, selectivity of perception, and justification.
7. Why did I choose this example? Expectations- Mr. Morton taught never to assume anything. ALWAYS an underlying motive. Selectivity of Perception- People tend to see what they want to see. Root cause of misconceptions. Justification- Being able to justify or provide evidence is critical in writing essays or supporting arguments.
8. How does it help me understand? MUN is helped develop my public speaking skills, cooperation and collaboration, and overall state of world politics. IB HL History taught me to not always assume and be ready to back up your arguments with strong support and evidence.
9. Future Using this knowledge, perception and language are both useful Perception- Looking for underlying motives, realizing biases or prejudices. Language- Observing language that may be useful or harmful. Knowing the various interpretations of language. Diplomats
