Do we need custodians of knowledge? Discuss with reference to two Areas of Knowledge.
CUSTODIAN
KEEPER OR GUARDIAN OF KNOWLEDGE
INDIVIDUALS
-
ELDERLY
(preserve tradition and stories for future generation)
INSTITUTION
-
ACADEMIC RESEARCHER
(record and review certain knowledge to be accessible in the future)
PRESERVE AND SPREAD KNOWLEDGE
LINGUISTIC - STRUCTURE AND EVOLUTION
CLAIM
Issue
- Nowadays, the attention given to grammar has been replaced by an emphasis on comprehension. This unfortunate reality has created the misconception that one does not need proper grammar to convey an idea.
(IN WORK SETTING)
The impact of poor grammar can be detrimental in the professional setting. “Such looseness with language can create bad impressions with clients, ruin marketing materials and cause communications errors”
David Crystal
"Grammar is the backbone of any language. Preserving its structure is essential for maintaining the integrity and clarity of communication."
While comprehension is vital, understanding the
grammatical rules
that underpin different languages can
enhance linguistic richness.
CLAIM
- TO PRESERVE THE FOUNDATION OF A LANGUAGE (e.g.: grammar) - TO DISTINGUISH LANGUAGE (English and France)
COUNTER-CLAIM
COUNTER CLAIM
- TO ALLOW CULTURE ASSIMILATION - NOT RESTRICTING THE LANGUAGE TO ITS ORIGIN - ALLOWING DIVERSITY IN WORDS AND ACCENT BUT WITH ONE SAME MEANING
HOW TO PRONOUNCE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT
- FLOUR - UK "FLO-OR" - US "FLA-WER" -
DIFFERENT WORDS SAME MEANING
- BISCUITS - COOKIES
VARIATION APPEARED WITHIN LANGUAGE
The leniency on cultural interconnection helps in the expansion and sustainability of language.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
Ferruccio Rossi-Landi argues that a society's language and culture are learned and shared through communication, shaping children's cognitive development.
e.g.: American English and British English

COUNTER- CLAIM
**NORTH KOREA
The efforts to which North Korea will go to control media demonstrate that the country’s
bottom-of-the-barrel ranking in media freedom is well deserved.
(
World Press Freedom Index)
Example: a North Korean court in Pyongyang sentenced two South Korean journalists and the heads of two leading South Korean newspapers in which their work was published to death (in absentia) without possibility of appeal for “seriously insulting the dignity” of the North.
(Robert R. King, 2019)
THERE IS ONLY
ONE ABSOLUTE CUSTODIAN
OF KNOWLEDGE
(POWER OF GOVERNMENT WHO HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THE ISSUE)
RWE - NORTH KOREA GOVERMENT CONTROL ON CITIZEN'S ACCESS TO INFORMATION ON ANY DIGITAL MEDIA
178th - NORTH KOREA 50th - SOUTH KOREA
PRESS FREEDOM INDEX RANKING 2013
WHY THEY DID THAT
Justification
protect country image
Maintain peace
conceal the truth that may bring implications
Preventing protest.
By controlling information, the government aims to prevent public discontent that could arise from exposure to external ideas or criticisms.
Less custodian
TOPIC SENTENCE
THERE MUST BE A WEIGHTAGE OF CUSTODIAN WHEN TALKING ABOUT HISTORY
(NECCESSITY OF HISTORY CUSTODIAN SHOULDN'T BE DEBATABLE)
