Nature of Human Knowledge and Understanding
The nature of human knowledge is the understanding of what we believe is truth. Our environments affect what we believe and understand is truth. The knowledge of human nature is to be considered neither good nor bad. There are different aspects that affect what a human believes is true.
Human knowledge is started from a very early age. Humans are born with a clean slate. This means that you know nothing and have no beliefs so it is up to a child's parents and surroundings to help form their knowledge and beliefs. Forming a child's mind starts at a young age with the parents telling the child of there beliefs and understandings of what they consider to be the truth. The child grows up believing what they are taught are the truths and are not open minded to other truths.
