Let us begin this introduction by discussing what knowledge is. But what exactly is knowledge? Knowledge in its most common and mundane definition is taken to mean the information, understanding, and skills that are acquired through formal or informal education, awareness generation mechanisms or practical experience. Knowledge is also processed and formalized through a cognitive contact with reality, involving employment and deployment of the senses and cognitive ability, for the most part. It also required a formal awareness of facts, familiarity with practical and other situations, and different forms of practical ability. Mechanisms of acquiring knowledge can range from rote memorization to critical thinking, and the mental processing of complex facts. Most people also understand knowledge as a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of a subject including theoretical or practical understanding of facts, information, and skills, that are consciously acquired by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge may be acquired either individually or through collective social action. The acquisition of knowledge is an active process involving cognitive functions like perception, reasoning, analysis, and evaluation. Knowledge is not static; it is a continuous and dynamic process that builds and grows over time.
