Descartes blog

1. I really agree with Descartes way of thinking. Descartes says that we cannot accept anything as being true unless we actually perceive it. He also says that in oreder to understand something we must break it down to simple things and go from the simple to the complex ones. I agree with this because you cannot fully understand something if you don't live through that experince or thing. I aslo agree that you have to break down things and start by analyzing the simple ones that may be the cause of the problem and then analyze the complex ones that may be the real problem.

2. I will conect Descartes philosophy to Mathematics and to history.

Mathematics: In mathematics in oreder to understand the math problems you really have to perceive them, get involved and study them. if you don't pay attention in class you will not perceive the information and you will not understand anything. In math you start by leraning the simple ideas and the simple problems. Those serve as a base for when the time comes and you start learning the complex ideas.

History: In history we learn things that happened in the past. History can be really biased so sometimes to fully understand things that happened in History we would have to live through them. for example is very difficult to understand completely world war 1 and it's causes since we didn't live in that time and we don't know completely what people were living through. In history we start by learning the events that happened before the real event. Which may be the cause. then we learn the consequences of the cause. For example when we learned ab0ut the Holocaust first we learned about Hitler and his childhood and his life before becoming the Nazi dictator and then we learned about what happened during the holocaust.

3. This picture shows the ghettos of the holocaust. this supports my explanation becuase you understand this by breaking up the information. You start form the simplest idea and then you end with the more complex one.

In this math picture you can see all the important math symbols you learn in your life. This is divided into 4 groups and they go in order from easiest to hardest. This is also supporting the idea that you perceive things and understand things better by breaking them down and learning first the simple ones and then the more complex ones.
