How do we know?

"How do we Know what we Know? What evidence do you have to support your claim?

We know what we know because of everything around us. There are somethings we know automatically, like eating. We're hungry, so we eat. If we don't it hurts our stomachs. That's something that we knew as babies. Other things we know from our parents, what they taught us growing up. We know how to read, and tie our shoes, and use our manners, because of what they taught us as children. We learn things from our teachers, like math, mulitplication, addition, long division, etc. We learn the tools we will need to go on to school and to get a productive job. Teachers also shape who we are, by being kind to us, or mean to us, giving us extra help, or helping us with personal problems, being there for us, when our friends don;t understand, and our parents are the problem, or can't help. Also we learn form our friends. We learn about things from our friends that our parents and teachers won't tell us. An example of this is how to get the most candy at halloween, or more impotantly, how to be a good friend, mostly in their actions, but also in their words. Finally, we know what we know from strangers. People we might never meet, or know, but we see for a minute or two. I know that bad drivers tend to piss other drivers off, from the way that I see strangers drive, but also in the reactions from my parents, especially my dad. Something else that we learn from strangers is manners, and mannerisms. In a restaurant, when you see someone speaking with their mouth full, or chewing with their mouth open, it helps you to learn, by seeing it firsthand, how disgusting it is. Manenrisms you can learn from strangers, as well as people you know. You can see how to walk with confidence, or show that you're angry.
In short, we know what we know, from our genetics, the people around us like our friends/peers and family, and even strangers we may meet for a second or a minute.
