"Comparing and Contrasting Understanding and Knowledge"

Knowledge and Understanding and similar but at the same time they are different. Knowledge is something that people in the world know. By this I mean we all have thing that we know by heart in our minds, meaning it doesn't have to be taught to us because we already know it. Understand is something that is taught in which we understand it while it is being taught to us. Some people might get confused thinking that these two words mean the same thing completely. Knowledge is something that someone will always know and will forever be in their mind which is also a form or understand but not to the full extent. For example when we learn a type of math that's a form of knowledge because once we learn it we will never forget what's already there. This is different from understanding in a way because for someone to understand something means they are still in the process of learning whatever that still needs to be taught. Meaning there is a possibility that they might forget what is being taught to them.
Understanding and Knowledge comes in all of our lives during our learning careers because we all are going to go through a process of learning something and we all are going to have things we will forever keep in our minds which is knowledge.
