The role of knowledge in human life.  WEB-resource of scientific and practical conferences

In human life, knowledge plays a huge role in the formation of personality, because thanks to them, the brain is replenished with the necessary information, which can later help in difficult situations.

Knowledge is baggage that is constantly accumulating important information. Gathering knowledge, we gain some experience that can be of invaluable service in the future.

Books, which are our true friends, allow us to replenish information. They will always understand, console with their thoughts and reasoning. In addition to replenishing our lexicon When reading certain works, we still delve into the problems of the characters, look for some information that we comprehend and accept as a fact.

I think it's clear that no one wants to be illiterate, like Mitrofan from Fonvizin's comedy "Undergrowth". The hero only pretended to know the world, but in reality he only pretended to be. Of course, a person needs to choose: to progress or stand still.

It is easy to realize that books are a source of knowledge. Not everyone understands this, but it is true. Take any novel, like Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury. Opening the work, you plunge into a world that was unknown at first, filled with indifferent people who are indifferent to the lives of others. Chaos is happening in their society: books are being burned so that people cannot think, form their opinions, and reflect. It's really scary when a person is deprived of the opportunity to develop. And this book is just about that. The author constantly tells us that books need to be protected and taken care of! It is important to accumulate knowledge and then pass it on to the next generation. It is worth developing, not degrading!

Therefore, in order not only to be able to freely express your thoughts, to have a voluminous vocabulary, but also an extensive stock of knowledge, you should turn to literature. She is not the enemy of man. Writers also tried to ensure that readers, discovering their work, brought up in their hearts a sense of beauty. The problem is that a lot of people just don't need it. This is the tragedy!

Option 2

With the birth, people begin to absorb knowledge of a different nature. They are individual for everyone. For some, they are the simplest and easy to remember, while for others it takes a long time to realize and accept something new. At a conscious age, one can no longer remember that we needed elementary knowledge in literally everything.

The first discoverers are, of course, parents or those who are forced to replace them. Relatives give us the opportunity to draw knowledge, first of all, in everyday life. How to hold a spoon, eat soup, behave at the table. In the future, this knowledge is very important, because you will impress future employers, allies, spouses. Knowledge in good behavior, communication, culture of speech, manners, you need to know, although they seem, at first glance, the simplest and most insignificant.

Scientific knowledge begins to acquire school years, then in higher educational institutions. It happens that a person does not receive an education, but possesses a large amount of knowledge and is considered very wise. In a force beyond our control, it happens that school knowledge may be limited or imperfect. Then self-education comes to the rescue. After all, now there are unlimited opportunities in obtaining the necessary knowledge. You can use sources on the World Wide Web. Therefore, you need to be very careful, because this knowledge is very important when choosing a profession, already in work, in life, in society, we will use them always and everywhere.

It is also possible to share knowledge and experience, in our time, thanks to online broadcasts and video calls. So you can get more knowledge even from other countries, other people, cultures, mentality.

Only self-development will help to acquire vital and desired knowledge. So you will be an interesting conversationalist, a valuable adviser and an irreplaceable person who receives important, right decisions that will help other people. After all, it is very important to be a role model, pride for your family. Even if there is no such desire as to be an idol for others, it is still nice to realize that you have a lot of knowledge and there is a desire to replenish their stock. The most important thing is to be attentive, reasonable, honest, observant, and then knowledge will be drawn to you. Then it remains only to keep them with you and update them in a timely manner.

Cognition - creative activity human, aimed at obtaining reliable knowledge about the world. Among the needs and interests of man, the most important place is occupied by the need for knowledge. The need for knowledge is given to man by nature: the unknown world, into which a person plunges from the moment of his birth, both frightens him and attracts him with its mystery and the promise of unraveling the mystery.

The driving forces of knowledge are motives, which are needs, interests, aspirations, etc. We are trying to learn something about the subject in order to understand how it can be used or how to achieve a more effective use of it. But sometimes a person gets pleasure simply from solving a complicated intellectual problem or discovering something new.

Cognition depends on the person himself, who voluntarily acquires information, cognizes various phenomena. It is a guided process aimed at the study of art, science, the world, self, nature, etc. In other words, it is impossible to know something definite without having any interest in it. At the same time, it is possible to achieve a result without setting conscious goals for the search for truth.

Cognition is influenced social relations, culture, era. As the famous German writer Lion Feuchtwanger said: "Knowledge and life are inseparable." Undoubtedly, life is a path where there are many mysteries and trials that a person seeks to comprehend. Without knowledge there can be no life. To exist among people, everyday knowledge about nature, people, living conditions is necessary. It follows that knowledge is a continuous process consisting in the deepening, expansion and improvement of knowledge. A person should not stop in his development, on the contrary, he should be in a constant process of thinking, to know not only the world around him, but also himself.

The question of the place of knowledge in human life,

about their importance, the significance is very

relevant in today's environment. FROM

on the one hand, experts who know

their business, are in demand by our

society; on the other hand, the question is

about the truth of human knowledge, about his

professionalism.

Is knowledge necessary? This question

thinkers of various epochs were asked and

generations. Recall the comedy of A.S.

Griboyedov "Woe from Wit", the title itself

which already speaks for itself.

Enlightened young man

finds himself in a hostile environment,

which does not accept knowledge. And true

understanding the course of things does not help the hero

in conflict resolution. Disappointed,

he runs away from this world, exclaiming:

"Carriage to me! Carriage!"

But I believe that knowledge is necessary

a person on a difficult life path.

They represent the one

building material from which

a person's experience is formed. This and

necessary condition for existence

personality in a particular social

environment. Without any kind of knowledge and

skills, a person simply will not be able to live and

be implemented in modern

environment.

Knowledge is not just memorized

teacher demand a lesson at school. They are

aimed at the development of mental

human abilities, his logic, skills

speak, think, draw conclusions,

to reveal his hidden abilities.

A person who has a certain

understanding, understanding of

either a phenomenon, will never stop at

achieved. She won't confine herself to

boundaries that limit knowledge.

A man with an inquisitive mind will try

learn more, understand it and apply it in

own life. We are always developing

receiving new information. And in this

relation important role play such

abilities such as the ability to analyze and

draw conclusions. That is, you can say

that knowledge and its quality

form the culture of personality, its degree

development.

But it is also important to note that knowledge is

colossal work. How much effort

it is necessary for a person to spend

understand something new! And this labor

not feasible for any of us. Many are scared

repels the process of obtaining

knowledge, it is difficult for many to force themselves

sit with a book or listen to a teacher.

The search for truth is a creative process

requiring emotional and

intellectual tension. Many

they just don't see the point in doing it

of this kind, do not understand their importance

for each of us.

In modern times, one can say

not only about the role of knowledge in life

person, but also about their truth. Often

high school diploma or high school diploma

education is not talked about

professionalism of a person, about his

real knowledge and understanding of

or a question.

Undoubtedly, knowledge is necessary for a person

for life, moral development and

cultural education. But it's complicated

a path that not everyone takes,

realizing the need to know something

KNOWLEDGE IN THE LIFE OF A MODERN PERSON

What role does knowledge play in human life? Everyone who thinks about this question finds the answer for himself. For some, knowledge is power, for some it is recognition in society, for some, gaining knowledge becomes the meaning of life. From our point of view, knowledge is a vital necessity. The one who owns the information owns the world. This is a well-known fact that applies to every person. Folk wisdom says: "If I knew where to fall, I would lay a straw." In the 21st century, we understand the need and value of knowledge. Without them, we cannot survive. It is very difficult to cross the road, not knowing how to do it right, or to provide yourself with everything you need, knowing nothing and not being able to. The knowledge that a person possesses determines who he is. The more knowledge he has, the more opportunities open up in his life. For example, a person who knows several foreign languages, with such capital, has solid opportunities and prospects to improve his social status and financial position. Today he is an ordinary translator, and tomorrow he can take a management course and become a manager of a large company. Stimulates not only the material factor. Let us recall M.V. Lomonosov, who walked half of the country on foot in order to be able to study. It is necessary to mention two more components of knowledge. This is freedom and protection. An ignorant person is easy to deceive, deprive of property, violate his rights. It happened before, it happens now. Knowledgeable person can protect their rights, their property, their lives.

As history shows, people understand the value of knowledge at all times. And the greatest people seek not only to acquire knowledge, but also to share it. An example is the story of J. Bruno. The scientist proudly climbed the fire, never betraying himself. He was confident in his knowledge, although it contradicted the view of life that was established in the society of that time. He paid for his knowledge with the most precious thing he had - his life.

F. Bacon is one of the first thinkers who made experimental knowledge the core of his philosophy. He completes the era of the late Renaissance and proclaims, together with R. Descartes, the main principles of the philosophy of the New Age. It is F. Bacon who expresses one of the fundamental commandments of new thinking: "Knowledge is power." This aphorism contains the slogan and pathos of his entire philosophical system. The relation man-nature is understood in a new way, which is transformed into the relation subject-object and enters into the flesh and blood of the European mentality. Man is presented as a cognizing and acting beginning (subject), while nature is presented as a beginning (object) subject to cognition and use. Activist utilitarianism believes that with the advent of man, nature breaks up into a subject and an object, which are both separated and connected through instrumental activity. The natural-science method explores nature as a system of forces that can be calculated. In knowledge, in science, F. Bacon sees a powerful tool for progressive social change. Based on this, he places the "House of Solomon" - the house of wisdom - in the center public life. He calls on all people to engage in wisdom, not for the sake of scientific disputes, not for the sake of neglecting others, not for the sake of self-interest, power and glory, but so that life itself would benefit and succeed from it. A philosopher, like any other person who possesses such a treasure as knowledge, encourages people and tries to make life better himself.

Much more can be said about the benefits of knowledge, but I would like to mention their dangers. At all times and under all social arrangements learned people they are never in power and never rule countries and peoples according to their own understanding and according to their own conscience. This used to lead and leads now to the fact that learned people are reduced to the level of simple workers who receive wages or any other remuneration for their work, even if it is specific and complex, and the fruits of their labor are transferred to the personal discretion of those who pay. From the works and achievements of scientists sometimes, and in Lately more and more often, the safety and life of a huge number of people, and the planet as a whole, depend. Textbook examples of atomic, biological and chemical weapons in the twentieth century, unfortunately, do not cure humanity of irresponsibility. Moreover, these people are quite consciously instilled that they are only an instrument of society and the state, which can better dispose of the fruits of their discoveries. The power of knowledge in the hands of an unprincipled person can lead to disaster. Therefore, one would very much like to hope that mankind will understand what it already possesses and what else it can master. Knowledge is also a responsibility.

Let's emphasize again. Knowledge is a treasure. Without them, a person condemns himself to a base existence. There are examples in history of how people with comprehensive and deep knowledge reach great heights. Biblical king Solomon asked God for the only good - knowledge. For this he was rewarded with wisdom, love, wealth, longevity. The highly educated, erudite people were the artist and scientist L. daVinci, the commander A.V. Suvorov, the poet, writer A.S. Pushkin and many others. These people are just vivid examples of the great role of knowledge, what it can give a person and how to influence his life.

Introduction

Since ancient times, knowledge has been considered one of the most valuable wealth of mankind. People passed on experience and accumulated wisdom from generation to generation, thus accumulating and multiplying knowledge about the universe, about the world around us, about a person who was not called a reasonable person for nothing.( Homo sapiens ).

Each historical stage in the development of society is directly or indirectly associated with some kind of discovery and acquisition of new knowledge. Thus, industrial society is characterized by extensive production activities associated with the invention of weaving, printing and various other machine tools.

Often behind such huge and significant inventions are ordinary people, inquisitive minds who longed for new knowledge and the creation of devices that have no analogues in the world. What made them sit with books, study statistics, travel to the ends of the world to find answers to their questions and quench their thirst for knowledge?

Of course, the work of these people paid off not only on the scale of the individual, but of all mankind. After all, everything on which the technologies of our time are based originates in the ideas of specific people.

Folk wisdom says: "Who owns the information, he owns the World." This statement is more relevant than ever, since in the context of globalization a person must have a large amount of information in order to do his job efficiently, to be caring parent, a good friend and also easily cope with many social roles. It turns out that knowledge is the key to successful life in modern society, having acquired which you can cope with any problem and emerge victorious from any situation. This "magic wand" will become not only a tool, but also a resource for the personal development of a person's personality.

1.The essence of the concept of "knowledge"

There are several meanings of the concept of "knowledge":

Knowledge is a form of existence and systematization of results cognitive activity person. Knowledge helps people rationally organize their activities and solve various problems that arise in its process.

Knowledge in a broad sense is a subjective image of reality in the form of concepts and ideas.

Knowledge in narrow sense- Possession of verified information (answers to questions) that allows solving the task.

Knowledge (of a subject) - a confident understanding of the subject, the ability to handle it, understand it, and also use it to achieve the intended goals.

And every form public consciousness: science, philosophy, mythology, politics, religion - correspond to specific forms of knowledge. There are also forms of knowledge that have a symbolic or artistic-exemplary basis.

The historically first forms of human knowledge include game cognition (it is built on the basis of conditionally accepted rules and goals, it allows you to rise above everyday life, not to care about profit, to behave in accordance with freely accepted game norms). It is possible to deceive a partner and hide the truth. It has a teaching and developmental character, reveals the qualities and capabilities of a person, allows you to expand the psychological boundaries of communication.

There are different types of knowledge: scientific, non-scientific, everyday practical ( common sense), intuitive, religious.

Ordinary-practical - knowledge that existed in the early stages human history and delivering elementary information about nature and the surrounding reality (the so-called common sense, signs, edifications, recipes, personal experience, traditions, etc.), is non-systemic, unproven, unwritten. Ordinary knowledge serves as the basis of a person's orientation in the world around him, the basis of his everyday behavior and foresight, but usually contains errors and contradictions.

Scientific - knowledge based on rationality, is characterized by objectivity and universality, and claims to be a scale of universal significance. Scientific knowledge is the process of obtaining objective, true knowledge. Its task is to describe

explain and predict the process and phenomenon of reality. Scientific revolutions occurring in the course of development scientific knowledge and leading to a change in theories and principles, are replaced by periods of normal development of science (deepening and detailing of knowledge).

Scientific knowledge is characterized by logical validity, evidence, reproducibility of results, testability, the desire to eliminate errors and overcome contradictions.

The form of scientific knowledge is younger than many forms of non-scientific knowledge.

Extra-scientific knowledge is not someone's invention, it is produced by a certain intellectual community according to norms and standards different from rationalistic ones, it has its own sources and means of cognition.

Thus, "knowledge" is a concept that includes many words such as: wisdom, experience, information, mind and strength. And also this is a conclusion from any life situation, the result of an implemented idea, experiment.

2. The role of knowledge in the modern world.

For development human society material, instrumental, energy and other resources, including information ones, are needed. The present time is characterized by an unprecedented growth in the volume of information flows. This applies to almost every field of human activity. The greatest growth in the volume of information is observed in industry, trade, financial and banking and educational areas. For example, in industry, the growth in the volume of information is due to an increase in the volume of production, the complication of manufactured products, the materials used, technological equipment, the expansion of external and internal communications economic objects as a result of the concentration and specialization of production.

Information is one of the main, decisive factors that determines the development of technology and resources in general. In this regard, it is very important to understand not only the relationship between the development of the information industry, computerization, information technologies with the process of informatization, but also the determination of the level and degree of influence of the process of informatization on the sphere of management and intellectual activity of a person.

Much attention is paid to the problems of information in general and management as an information process, due to the following objective processes:

humanity is experiencing an information explosion. The growth of information circulating and stored in society came into conflict with the individual capabilities of a person to assimilate it;

development of mass - communication processes;

development need general theory information;

development of cybernetics as a science of control;

penetration of information technologies into the spheres of social life;

research in the field natural sciences confirm the role of information in the processes of self-organization of living and inanimate nature;

actualization of the problem of sustainable development, the formation of the information economy, the main driving force which is the information potential, information resources;

The problem of the prospects for the development of mankind as an integrity makes it necessary to raise the question of the criteria for progress in modern conditions.

An important place in understanding such a concept as "information" and the mechanism of information processes in society and its institutions is occupied by the concept of the information environment, which is, on the one hand, a conductor, converter and distributor of information, and on the other hand, a source of motives for people's activities. In the course of his activity, a person actively interacts with the information environment, receiving new personal knowledge from it, generating new knowledge and presenting it in the form of information that he places in the information environment. Any economic entity is characterized by a certain information environment in which it is immersed. This information environment reflects the level of development of an economic entity and determines certain principles of information behavior of people in communication with each other.

It should also be noted that the exclusive role of information in modern scientific and technological progress has led to an understanding of information as a resource, as necessary and important as energy, raw materials, financial and other resources. Information has become a subject of purchase and sale, i.e. an information product, which, along with information constituting the public domain, forms an information resource of society.

As a commodity, information cannot be alienated like material products. Its sale and purchase has a conditional value. Passing to the buyer, it remains with the seller. It does not disappear in the process of consumption.

The formation and development of the information sector, the movement of many types of information as a commodity influenced the formation of a special market - the information market.

At present, the dissemination of information in the information sector of the economy cannot be imagined without the use of new information technologies. The time has already passed when new information technologies were developed mainly for the internal needs of an organization. Now information technology has become an independent and rather profitable type of business, which is aimed at meeting the diverse information needs of a wide range of users.

The use of modern information technologies provides an almost instantaneous connection to any electronic information arrays (such as databases, electronic reference books and encyclopedias, various operational reports, analytical reviews,

laws and regulations, etc.) coming from international, regional and national information systems and using them in the interests of successful business.

As a result of the unification of various information networks, it became possible to create a global information system Internet, which allows to conduct information services according to the principle "always and everywhere, anywhere in the world".

Thanks to the rapid development of the latest information technologies, not only has open access to the global flow of political, financial, scientific and technical information, but also became real opportunity building a global business on the Internet.

3.Opportunities that open up knowledge

So what does the saying mean: "Who owns the information, he owns the World"? Does this mean that with some knowledge you can become the master of the spirit and the whole world as a whole?

In part, this is true. Often, the right information helps us cope with difficulties at work, in the family, and make the right decisions. Having acquired some knowledge at the right time, we are able to change our psychological state, look at our life from a different angle. From some knowledge, a person can literally see the light, look at the world around him with a fresh look. Sometimes we do not notice our delusions, and when the truth appears to us, we cannot forgive ourselves for not noticing it before.

Indeed, information is the key to power, wealth, wisdom, fame, respect and more. It gives a person an advantage in any struggle.

Any employer will give preference to a manager whose knowledge and qualifications are higher than those of others. Every person trusts more a specialist with higher education. And we ask advice from people older than us, since their wisdom and life experience is much greater than ours.

Information is what life is based on at the present stage, it is not only the basis of all sciences, but also what makes up the success of our day. We can’t even imagine how much we depend on information, we can’t list all sources of information and all its carriers. Most likely, we will never see information flows and networks “flying” over our heads. But we also cannot imagine our lives without them.

The majority of the population is so dependent on information media that they will miss the train if their phone runs out, as a result of which they will be late for work and, if the company has a strict charter, all this will be followed by dismissal. There are many such examples. We underestimate the importance of knowledge in the modern world. By purchasing them, we win, but if we do not receive them on time, we risk losing a lot. Therefore, a person is forced to store a lot of knowledge in his head in order to stay in the rhythm of the information society.

Conclusion

As long as a person learns something new, he grows. Knowledge is power, it is what is in us, it is what our brain cells contain, what is hidden in the DNA chain.

Half of the information we contain is unknown to us. After all, knowledge is not only the material that we have accumulated, but also the one that is contained in our blood - information that previous generations collected before us.

Human consciousness is still a mystery. Sometimes we ourselves can not understand where we learned this or that information. It can come to us through the senses, both during wakefulness and in sleep, knowledge can be acquired both in pure form and in the form of information.

There are many sources from which a person can draw knowledge, these are: books, magazines, newspaper articles, communication with other people, exhibitions, performances, galleries and much more.

But there are also ways, to date, unexplored science. Such as the "sixth sense". Sometimes we can not explain where we get this or that information. Each of us at least once encountered this in our lives, for example, we realized what time it was, despite the clock, we felt who was calling us on the phone without picking up the receiver, we knew when the phone would ring and many more similar inexplicable situations. Until now, science does not know what causes this kind of brain activity. But one cannot deny the fact that this kind of source of information is present in our lives.

All these sources together make a person less vulnerable and open up new horizons of knowledge, new opportunities and perspectives.

At the present stage of development, diversified people are valued. Because a trained person quickly copes with the difficulties that have arisen, while using all his information potential. It is easier for such people to live and find a common language with the people who surround them. Therefore, individuals should not give up knowledge, of course, it is impossible to know absolutely everything, but you can replenish your intellectual baggage year after year, thereby improving yourself.

From all this, in conclusion, we can safely say that the role of knowledge and information in this World is enormous. After all, knowledge is the catalyst for progress. It contributed to the formation of man from primate to Man.

Reasonable and will certainly lead humanity to a new stage in the development of scientific and social progress.
