knowledge levels

Level 1:

I know enough to think about aliens. I have read and watch shows on many theories about aliens. My favorite was from the series “Taken.” In this show, aliens have become so advanced that they loose their ability to feel and in an effort to recover it they experiment with humans. I don’t know enough this topic to even talk about it. It is fascinating as it is incredible. One day when I have spare time I will read more on the topic so that I’m better equipped to talk about.

Level 2:

Technology is something that I can think and talk about. The way things work, the things that a computer can do, the “specs” on a digital camera or the functions on a cell phone are all things that I can talk about. While I’m not an expert I can explain to people what technology can do for them. I usually will read a tech or gadget magazine to find out about the latest hardware and software. Usually I can spend hours figuring out software such as Photoshop or Dreamweaver to get them to do what they are supposed to do. There are many people who are afraid to browse or explore their computers thinking that something can break. Technology is there to make things easier for us, so that we may spend our time enjoying our freedom.

Level 3:

For this level I have to say that my knowledge in History and Politics go hand in hand. For those interested in politics it is necessary to know History. While I don’t think I could teach History I could teach History in politics, meaning I would very much enjoy taking current events and teaching others on how similar events in History have turned out and how we could expect our current example to be resolved. I am passionate about American History and how politics have evolved in this country. I planned to further my education in this topic by reading my text books required for my degree and by researching on my own.

Level 4:

Frankly, I don’t know enough about everything to where I can say I can debate its issues. Perhaps the only topic which I would say I come close to this level is my knowledge of how Personal Injury Protection insurance coverages work in the states of California, Utah, Idaho and Nevada. Since my job is to handle medical claims in those states I have to be very knowledgeable on the insurance laws. Many times I have found myself in “debates” with my co-workers in a “case scenario” where we are trying to decide if a particular case meets the requirements for us to provide medical coverage. While I’m knowledgeable on the requirements to do my job I still have to rely on others who have more experience and knowledge than I do on this particular topic. I constantly review our insurance policies to make sure that I know why I make the decisions that I make and to ensure that one day I will be the one answering questions.
