What does it mean to know something?

        Knowledge is information on something particular that is either obtained by our minds or misunderstood. It is the idea that helps us understand what things are and their meaning. To know something is to be aware of and develop the idea of what it is through information or sources pertaining to a plans, proposals, or thoughts. When you know something it means you recognize what something is and the idea that portrays. A good example is the Nike logo because when you see it you know, understand, what it is as well as get the idea that it’s a company that makes shoes and athletic wear/ equipment. Just by a check mark you know that its Nikes because the industry portrays itself to the public in a way where  it markets  athletic wear/ equipment and shoes so that next time you see the symbol you recognize it because it creates in our minds an association of what the symbol means, Nike.  Also when you know something you can easily relate to it. This can mean when you go out to a party without your parent’s consent and you get caught, you get in a lot of trouble and you go through different emotions and regrets. While a week later your friend gets busted for the same thing, at that moment you can relate to how he must feel and understand the regrets and emotions he’s going through. Knowing something is the feeling of I recognize, understand what’s that symbol means or I am aware of the situation you’re in because I can relate to a similar one. To know is to experience what you have learned through life and the understanding of what you have yet to learn or be familiar with.
