My grade will be having TOK presentations next week, really glad i found this website.

i have a general idea of the topic i am going to do a presentation on but unsure of what i am going to be talking about or what i should be talking about for 10 minutes. i am just unsure what to talk about

the real life issue is going to be the Fukushima Reactor Meltdown where the generator (which powers the coolant) was disabled by the Tsunami after the earthquake.

is this a good knowledge issue?
"In which way does perception and reason influence us in our decisions regarding the use of nuclear power?"
thats the title of this post and also knowledge issue.

Thankyou very much.

I think I would phrase it somewhat differently, though I don't know whether or not it is required for you to do so.

Mine/Ours was stated more like a general question like "To what extent can the claim that violence in video games provokes socially unacceptable behavior in teenagers be justified?", and then introduced the WOKs in the introduction or as I (we) went along.

We evaluated the question using WOKS, talked about how different perspectives on may be influenced by perception and emotion, and drew linked it to areas of knowledge.

But one important thing to include is a solid real life situation. How does the Fukushima incident relate to YOU? In what way can you make it a RLS?

thanks, we have to make our own question, topics and KI though...

i decided to change the KI yesterday to how do we determine that nucler power is ethical? (should have more to cover)

maybe use history, ethics, as area of knowledge... maybe also reason, emotion and perception as ways of knowing. then discuss the ideas.
