Knowledge Norms

Knowledge norms refer to the standards or rules that determine what qualifies as acceptable knowledge in a given context. In general knowledge, these norms assess the quality, reliability, and relevance of information. For example, in everyday discussions, we tend to trust widely recognized facts and expert opinions over personal beliefs or anecdotal evidence. Knowledge norms help ensure that the information we use to make decisions or share with others is credible, promoting better understanding and communication in society.
