McLovin Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I want to do my TOK presentation on the butterfly effect but I'm not sure if it's good enough for IB. The butterfly effect is pretty much the whole reason why we know the things we know and so I could definitely fit in all of the ways of knowing and some areas of knowledge into my presentation. However, I'm stuck on the whole "real life situation" thing. Because the butterfly effect is literally involved in every real life situation, I don't really have a super specific example to point to, if that makes sense. Or does that work to my advantage? Could I just come up with a realistic short story? I thought of this topic because I've played a bunch of video games that use the butterfly effect into its storyline. One choice that the player makes can completely change the game's ending. I don't know, do you think it's a safe topic to do?

thecsstudent Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 You definitely need to have at least one very specific real life situation to get high marks. Also, from your description it sounds like it would be difficult to find counter claims against something so widely accepted and used. If I were you I would probably try to find something more controversial with contrasting perspectives. But if you really like the topic perhaps you could make it work by researching a lot to find a real life situation. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
