Knowledge and culture are tightly interlinked. You gain knowledge from cultural experiences for example me being in a French school for most of my education and then moving to jersey has shown me different cultures first hand and up close.

As we can see from my object, French and English schooling methods are poles apart and we learn different things in different ways due to the cultures being significantly different. I am referencing school in this exhibition because it is the main way that that children and young adults acquire knowledge and is also infused with the culture it is in. I believe that culture, even outside of schools, heavily influences our way of learning. It influences our views on learning as well as our will to learn. For example if everyone around you is very laid back and not very bothered about acquiring new knowledge or learning, it is very difficult to not follow suit. In the video we see everyone grouped at the back of the class not paying attention to the teacher in any way shape or form which is how I got this argument.

This first hand experience of two cultures clearly shows me how culture can influence and change ways of acquiring knowledge in a good or bad way.
