“You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
You must travel it for yourself.”

This part of the poem best reflects this statement. TOK is subjective. We all have our own opinions and thoughts and they may vary based on our morals and personal beliefs.

"You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
You must travel it for yourself."
In relation to this stanza, the nature of TOK forces us to create our own opinion in our own way and style.  Due to this, the content present in TOK is e

"You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
You must travel it for yourself."

2. Since knowledge is dependent on our interpretations, to what extent are we responsible for its content?

# data[].attributes.body
“You shall no longer take things at second or third hand” can be related to the statement because the line means that we cannot just learn from what others have said and take them as fact. It means we need to question the words and sources of others around us, and not just take them as is. The other lines can also be interpreted as saying that we should question the tenets of knowledge that people of old that are now dead and only live on in their books established, because they are long gone already.

The third stanza states that we need to question what is around us and filter it with questions and analysis so that we can find our own meaning and knowledge.

Given this, we question to what extent do we stop asking questions? Do we reach a point where all that is left can no longer be questioned and refuted?

The nature of TOK is inquisitive. TOK consists of asking questions, reviewing what we believed to be facts, and testing the information and lessons we have been given by the people around us and before us. By asking questions, we analyze and go deeper into topics and ideas we often overlooked.

This line

"You must travel it for yourself."

"You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
You must travel it for yourself."

TOK is subject to bias depending on who interprets specific information. We have different perspectives which are often attributed to different life experiences and being exposed to different cultures.

That being said, how do we know if our interpretation of a certain body of knowledge is correct or accepted, given that the majority may not always be right?

Reflection is evident in the 3rd stanzas, specifically the lines,

"You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself."

This relates to Reflection being at the Heart of TOK because just like how the extract states that you shall listen from yourself, and travel that road for yourself, this relates to reflection because it focuses on taking something in to personal serious thought and consideration.

The part of the poem that we can connect to is:

" You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself."

This poem urges us to think for ourselves, and take reflection into our own hands. Nowadays, there are many external factors that affect our thinking, like children's books or media outlets. Misinformation is rampant in today's society, and people tend to take things at face value. TOK is a way of navigating through this web of knowledge. Like the poem, TOK teaches us to come up with our own meaning and answers to the questions we encounter.

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,

You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,

You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self…Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
You must travel it for yourself.

It is not far, it is within reach,
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born and did not know…

Walt Whitman: From Song of Myself (1855)
