Week of November 15th

This week in TOK, we were split up in groups and had to choose a question from the "Knowledge Issues" paper and had to decide how we would structure the presentation if we were to do it and tell the class. This also had to include examples of things we have done so far in TOK. My group chose to do the question on culture and how that affects perception. We decided that we would structure the presentation by having a powerpoint. The example that we thought clearly showed how different backgrounds affects perception was the meat story, as the protagonists had an objective view of humans and saw people/analysed the race in a completely different way than people see themselves. We thought it would also be a good idea to have a video showing an interview of 2 people from completely different cultural backgrounds and show their view on a subject.; or act out the interview ourselves and writing a script before hand. Other groups thought it would be relevant to add optical illusions to their presentations but they did another question about sense of perception.
