Chapter 4: Question #1
I believe that wisdom and knowledge are both important aspects of life, and they are both made available to us in college. Knowledge is information or data that tells us what or why something is what it is. In contrast, I believe that wisdom is lessons we learn from experiences that affect the way we live. Wisdom is being able to use the knowledge to work, in which we use the information to make decisions and judgements. Although they are different, they are dependent on each other in shaping who we are. Through the experience of college, I believe we acquire both wisdom and knowledge. We learn new things every day, and this information teaches us how to live our lives. The information age that we are in now makes it easier for us to gain knowledge, which I believe leads to us growing wiser and gaining wisdom. The information age allows us easy access to knowledge, and in turn that allows us to discover more about the world. With this knowledge, we can judge and begin to see a better view of the world as a whole.

I agree with your statement that knowledge and wisdom is what shapes us. Knowledge and wisdom is dependent off of each other because we need both to acquire either one. These two are very important in our lives because it is something that helps us through things we do. They both help teach us new things about life through experience and acquiring such information from other sources. Knowledge is gained through a reliable source and wisdom is indeed acquired through our own experiences with applied knowledge. Both go hand-in-hand in our college years and without it, we would probably have trouble with certain situations.
