Our knowledge is established in the way we are created including our minds and bodies. This means that the way we perceive things all fall under the basis of aspects such as our reasoning, language, perception and emotion. As humans, we tend to like exploring and inquiring aspects in our daily lives like natural science, history and human science. This usually leads us questioning our theory of knowledge specifically how can we know that our reasoning and perception is for certain?

The fundamental elements that affect the way you perceive things in your daily life includes aspects like culture, religious belief systems as well as your values as an individual. To justify, the way one has been brought up influences the way of your knowing.

For example when asked "What is the extent to our knowledge?" in relation tot he areas of knowing some people would simple say that we were alive yesterday and comment on characteristics like how we are all certainly aware of our ecological surroundings and the past events in history. This is the way an ordinary person would tackle this whereas others would question this and may argue that we are unsure and are not aware of anything at all.

Thoroughly assessing such opposite and extreme views is not something easy to do but logically leads to asking: "What really is knowledge?"
