helenpark Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm planning to use this title for my TOK presentation due next week. but I'm still not sure where to start or how to write the introduction. I actually need a real-life situation example. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticPride Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I don't really think this is a good topic. This is way too big of a topic to talk about. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilia Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I tend to say that one can do a ToK presentation on anything, but I'm not so sure whether this works. One could, I suppose, find a Knowledge Issue relating to whether we need evidence to support our claim or something like that, but I think you ought to switch topic.

timtamboy63 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Maybe look at the foundation of religion, and why people believe them. Is there something fundamental in human nature that wants us to believe that there is a higher authority? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Maybe look at the foundation of religion, and why people believe them. Is there something fundamental in human nature that wants us to believe that there is a higher authority?That's not really a knowledge issue, though. TOK doesn't really deal with questions like this, interesting as they are. The closest you can get is what Tilia said, questioning whether we need empirical evidence in order to know something (but there are much better examples you should use instead of religion which is a MASSIVE subject when it comes to what can/can't be proven and how).
