channel out the English dictionary
defines an implication as the action of
implying the fact of being implied or
being involved without being plainly
expressed that which is involved or
implied in something
else okay I often say to my students
that the implication is the possible so
what outcome of an
argument so what so let's look at a
super straightforward nonte example to
get us started the argument is that
Abigail always takes an umbrella with
her when it's raining when we see that
Abigail has taken an umbrella with her
therefore the obvious implication is
that it is raining simple yes now we
could get a little more fancy and come
up with some better implications for
example Abigail thinks that it's raining
now there's a big difference between it
is raining and Abigail thinks that it's
rainning but both are valid implications
of the original argument another
implication could be that it was riging
when Abigail made the decision to take
the umbrella but it may not be now or
another implication could be that
Abigail believes that it will rain
before she returns home and so on and so
on there are many possible implications
you get the idea enough of Abigail and
her umbrella let's turn to a real to
example for okay so let's turn to essay
number six May 23 the prescribed title
was to what extent is the production of
knowledge determined by methodologies a
super straightforward question that not
many students uh chose for whatever
reason anyway now we've written our
essay and we we've got to the conclusion
of our essay and the conclusion to our
knowledge arguments is that
methodologies have far less influence on
the production of knowledge than other
factors such as the context within which
knowledge is produced and the intentions
of the knowledge producer and so on and
so on so let's look at a few of the
potential implications of this
conclusion an obvious implication could
be that the methodologies of knowledge
production can be varied or altered
according to the needs of the knowledge
producer with little effect on the
knowledge produced and now another
implication could be the areas of
knowledge and subject disciplines should
not be defined by the methodology used
to produce knowledge within that
discipline or AOK and a final
implication that we could draw from this
conclusion is that knowledge is
primarily contextual and when it's taken
out of its context it may lose its
meaning regardless of the methodology
used to produce it to be honest there
are many many other implications that we
could draw from this one conclusion now
