Self-Context

Self-context in general knowledge refers to the idea that our understanding and interpretation of information are influenced by our own experiences, beliefs, and emotions. Each person has a unique background that shapes how they perceive and relate to knowledge. For example, someone’s previous experiences with a particular topic can inform their opinions and understanding of related information. Recognizing self-context helps us appreciate diverse perspectives and enhances our ability to communicate and engage with others, as it acknowledges that knowledge is not only objective but also deeply personal and subjective.
