We're inundated daily by people claiming to be experts and some we give credibility to therefore ascending them to that position.
But how do we know they are what they say they are?
Strip away that look about them, their charisma or lack their of, the product or information that they're presenting and what do you have?
We the people.... give birth to the expert by believing them to be what they say they are.
But do we the people believe each other in determining what makes an individual an expert?
Can an expert be an expert without anyone recognizing them as an expert?
ReplyDeleteGreat question Julie. I say yes and no. Though no one may choose to recognize an individual as an expert, that doesn't take away the fact that they are or maybe. If you have a PhD and no one wants to call you Dr. does that mean that the work you did to achieve that doctorate doesn't matter?
