   How old are you? How might your age affect both what you know and your attitude toward gaining knowledge?  I am 17 years old, an age stuck in adolescence in the midst of challenges and trying to overcome my fears. During this years, my attitude towards knowledge can easily be affected as my experience in this world is still young and I have not discovered my full potential yet.

   What is your mother tongue? What other languages do you speak? How might your particular language(s) affect your knowledge? I am a native Danish speaker but I was raised in Sweden. I speak English, Danish and Swedish fluently. As I speak many different languages, my knowledge is affected since I experience different cultures and experiences throughout the countries i've lived in.

   What sex are you? Does your gender role affect how you see the world? Does it influence your expectations of what knowledge you should gain in your education? I am a male which therefore means i've been socio - culturally shaped around the world we live in, resulting in different knowledge about different topics, often being given different exceptions as compared to females.

   Did you grow up in an urban area or a rural one? How might living in the countryside affect what and how you know I grew up in an urban area which meant I was surrounded by city folks, giving me different impressions of the world we live in, as I never saw the country side and how things operated under a calm and uncivilized matter.

   Have you always had enough to eat, felt safe and been able to get an education? How do you think that having these needs met – or not met – affect your present knowledge? Throughout my lifetime, I've always been blessed with the opportunity of warm water, food and a roof above my head. This means i've been shaped in a safe environment, giving the impression that everyone essentially has the same features and gives me the chance to not worry about my well-being and other factors.

   How do cultural influences affect how you see the world? Do you identify with a particular culture? Since I am a bilingual speaker with the experience of living in 5 countries throughout my lifetime, I've seen different cultures around Europe. However I believe my culture lies within

   Are there any particular field of knowledge appeal to you strongly? Does your interest affect your current knowledge and your knowledge goals for the future? 

   
   

   I have a strong interest for the business world,  having done several internships over the summer, I have gained a strong knowledge within the business world. Due to my interest, I have started researching deeper and began to extend my knowledge.
