My first Theory Of Knowledge lesson

I have never done anything quite like T.O.K before and it was very interesting to personally see links with philosophy and to a lesser extent, religion. I really enjoyed looking at how we learn and know through language, emotion, sense perception and logic because it was interesting to see that we learn most through language at school however growing up as a child we explored and picked up on things through sense perception. I enjoyed looking at the difference between knowledge, beliefs and opinions because I found it very relevant to the media flooded society that we live in. We read things in magazines, books and newspapers, watch things on television and listen to things on the radio which we often class as knowledge however really when we look closely they are peoples beliefs and opinions being preached to us as if they are and should be factual. We trust in these sources but should be more sceptical before quoting them as facts.
