The AOK that can fit me the best is History and the WOK that fits me as a knower is Sense Perception.
History best fits me as a knower because in my own personal experiences I lived through events that have repeated themselves. Such as 9/11 living through this experience has helped me able to connect with people who were involved or lived through Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, since these people and I have all lived through these tragic events. Sense Perception is also a something that best fits me as a knower; my own personal experience was shared with my TOK class during our trial with the Perception Test back in early 2010. This is a experience because this test but my own perceptions to the test seeing if they were able to perceive things. Also my other personal experience is ever since I was a child I am terrible with people’s names but have a great memory. But I do remember people’s face with a specific color that comes about whenever I see. For some reason when my eyes “see” someone my brain always perceives them as a color that I remember easier than their names. Of course I’ve spent years trying to remember people by their name not their color and sometimes I have messed up and said the color, but this also effects how I perceive colors in Art because I might call a certain color a name of a person who I call that color when I myself and speaking to them.

This picture above best describes me as a knower because it's in four quadrants and in multi colors just as a perceive things in different lights essentially. My perception of the AOK and WOK is kind of like the image of me above because people will see and perceive me differently upon looking at this image.Friday, February 12, 2010
