Conclusion: Through our AOKs we’ve seen that,
although people do have their own perceptions due to
individual differences, society plays a major role in

conclude by saying that personal knowledge is affected
by shared knowledge.

Weakness:
1. No primary sources only secondary
sources.
CONCLUSION
2. Only 2 Aoks were used to answer KQ
3. Even in the AOK we narrowed it
down to a specific situations
4. May be biased due personal factors
5. Lack of ways of thinking

We tried to find someone of different age, gender or

culture but we realized that we both were gender,
different and have different
