Bad Boys of Boston Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I suggest that you structure it as a "To what extent" or a "What role do ... play" type of question.You might introduce a method to deal with juvenile offenders, and then incorporate it into that structure above.

dessskris Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 have you read the TOK Presentation guide that Keel posted in the TOK forum? he explained what makes a question a Knowledge Issue there.as a summary, a KI needs to question what we know and how we know it. your question does not do so, hence it's not a KI.

Award Winning Boss Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 well how is it NOT a knowledge issue???it is a controversy if teenagers youger than 14 should be emprisioned or not,if teenagers should be punished harder or even imprisoned and so on...Instead of looking at it as 'obviously' being a knowledge issue true to decipher WHY you've chosen that. that way you'll have more to think about. You've just stated things... still doesn't explain how it's a KI Anyway, good luck with whatever you do. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
