Learning can be defined as knowledge acquired through systematic study in any academic field of application or, more directly, the act of acquiring more knowledge or skills . It is impossible to acquire knowledge without the presence of either teaching or experience. School is the most common place to acquire knowledge on fundamental subjects; the only reason we attend school is to become more informed and therefore more productive members of society. By learning a wide range of information in areas such as mathematics, science, literature, and history, we somehow learn not only about events, facts, or techniques, but also about people. There is a person, a group of people, or a society related to everything we study; every concept, literary work, representation of events and scientific theory has an origin that links it to the ideas of an individual or a group of individuals of a specific historical period. The concept of Newtonian Mechanics, which is often taught in physics classes, for example, is the work of physicist, mathematician and astronomer Isaac Newton. When we read Pride and Prejudice, we are exposed to the writing of English writer Jane Austen. Everything we are taught was, at some point, someone else's idea or development. This concept creates a common thread between apparently unrelated fields of knowledge, such as art and the natural and human sciences. Although on the surface the two seem unrelated, both art and science contribute to our understanding of the world around us, the people we interact with, the relationships we have with those people, and the society we are part of. When deals with the composition of a literary work, much of a person's creativity is based on their experiences...... middle of paper...... world around us. Works Cited - "Learning".
