= __Knowledge Claims & Arguments__ (Lesson 3) =

15/09/2011
====During this lesson we discussed questions such as "What does beef taste like?" Finding many different responses to these questions we realized that everybody has different opinions or "knowledge claims" for topics such as these. These claims arebest supported by justifications such as the one Baran gave for why acupuncture was not an effective treatement for smokers. He justified his argument with evidence of his uncle who was a smoker and tried to quit this with the aid of acupuncture and this treatment was no help to him.====

Dicussing all of the pictures from the: Knowledge Claims and their Justifications page the question "how do we know something is true?" came up. For our justifications we seemed to rely mainly on science and mathematical [|proof].
