With the Mercator Map (and History textbook) who has been responsible for ensuring that this is taught in schools all this time? - are they experts and do they have the right to determine our consumption of this, and other knowledge in general?

Very interesting choice of a variety of objects! My favorite was the chewing gum as it leads into an interesting discussion point. So my question is: You say that we are not ethically obliged to do what other communities impose on us. To what extent should this be adhered to?

You talked about social media being damaging and warping the truth which in turn allows people to formulate alternative opinions.

Is a digital source (e.g. a tweet) as equally recognised as knowledge as a physical source (e.g. a book)? Has this changed over time?

Great presentation Nell. Well articulate and links are established explicitly to the prompt! A question from me, what do you think is the best way to reduce such influence by experts towards their targeted audience?

# data[].attributes.body
Great analysis Jensen. I especially love the conclusion you made on the reliability of knowledge towards the end of your video, which lead me to this question >> Since all the features you stated (senses, experience, sources and external influence such as bias) affect the reliability of our knowledge, is there any way (in your opinion) to validate our knowledge as true or false?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Masato! I enjoyed the theatrical music background in your video. I feel that the links are well established within the conclusion you made for each object. My question relates to the third object; since law of nature / logic that is defined by scientific method is one of the constraint you state here, do you think (in your opinion) that the scientific method limits understanding of the world?

# data[].attributes.body
Great job Haskiret. I love the flow of your presentation. It is very structured, easy to follow and facilitates understanding even for people who was never before familiar with the TOK terms you use. My question for you: In your opinion, is there any way to minimize bias in the production of knowledge?

# data[].attributes.body
I like that you manage to include terms such as framing effect and Barnum effect in your presentation and I would also like to clarify here that that dress is white and gold. Just so you know =)). Also, I have one question for you in relation to your first object: Do you think companies should be held accountable for marketing using misleading health information / terms and why?

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate how distinct each object is in terms of their link to your prompt. My question is: Out of all the issues you highlighted in your presentation, which one do you feel is most important to associate personal feelings to?

# data[].attributes.body
Would you personally  trust someone with more personal experience but have no factual evidence  and explanation towards a given situation or would you trust someone who has the evidence and knowledge about a particular situation but has no personal experience towards the situation whatsoever  ?

Btw you had very clear and coherent thought process and i learned something new about NUS :)

# data[].attributes.body
Well done Varun! Links between prompt and objects are clearly established. My question for you: In your opinion, does mobile phone propels knowledge forward or possibly hinders knowledge as it also helps to easily spread fake news?

# data[].attributes.body
Your choice of objects are really interesting but just out of curiosity. What about you personally? Why do you seek knowledge?

# data[].attributes.body
No questions from me since there are already a lot of questions here but just to note that I really love your choice of objects. They transpire how much knowledge  / interest you have towards a variety of TOK issues and discussions. Well done Alisa!

# data[].attributes.body
Rudra, you did a great job in making it clear in the beginning in terms of clarification of what is meant by improvement (efficiency, skill, size). I also like that you end with a relatable quote to your prompt. My question for you: Is there any object/invention that you personally feel is the most important to ever exist out of improvement from past knowledge?

# data[].attributes.body
How can we determine whether knowledge should be constraint or whether it should be free for everyone to know( example of propaganda where the government would hide information that would alert or teach the citizens about a certain issue)

# data[].attributes.body
I like the analysis on the astrology chart! My question to you is in regards to this object is: for thinkers who aren't too into astrology but believes certain aspects of it, would that be considered as knowledge as they are able to critically gauge that not all astrological concepts are necessarily true?

# data[].attributes.body
What implications do you think there are to your claim that 'knowledge can only be fully validated by personal, first-hand knowledge of the event' on our study of historical events?

# data[].attributes.body
Great analysis, Jensen. You had a great pace throughout the video and was able to clearly convey your thoughts in a organized manner.

# data[].attributes.body
Which of the features you've mentioned (sight, source bias) affect the reliability the most?

# data[].attributes.body
Great job with using many TOK terms/ phrases like the quote "I think therefore I am" and the biases like the confirmation bias. I like the structure of your exhibition and the analysis of quantum mechanics for your first object!

# data[].attributes.body
In your opinion, which object has used imagination most effectively to produce and convey knowledge?

In your recording, you mentioned various examples of knowledge being warped in some way. My question is, in your opinion, is there anyway to overcome this challenge or is knowledge always destined to succumb to the perspective of the individual/group sharing the knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Really interesting ideas! I have a question related to the astrology chart: Do you think the context of WHERE a viewer might encounter an astrology chart and/or horoscope (the source) influences whether they accept or reject it?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the approach you took in answering your TOK prompt. I have a question regarding the general idea of your TOK prompt, which is: does 'new' and 'modern' knowledge necessarily mean it's 'better' knowledge? Is it more on how we use our knowledge rather than 'new' knowledge?

# data[].attributes.body

How are you able to objectively classify 'experts' as either good, or bad?

# data[].attributes.body
You mentioned that newspapers are a tool that allow people to acquire knowledge easily. Is it then a concern that people are so easily able to surround themselves and only acquire knowledge that appeals to their set beliefs, as newspapers tend to have strong political leanings (eg: the Telegraph is very right wing and conservative)? Does this reduce the importance of newspapers?
Very good presentation! I enjoyed it :)

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked your choice of objects, especially the playing cards. You mentioned that people seek knowledge to gain a higher social status, however are there any occasions/scenarios where one's reason for seeking knowledge is less focused on it's societal impact but just for the understanding of something unknown?

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed your insight on all your three objects in relation to your prompt :)

I have a question related to the Holy Bible and context. Would you say that no matter how the context of the contents of the Bible is presented to a group of atheists, that the content would be rejected anyway (due to their own personal beliefs)? Taking this into consideration, is context truly what makes knowledge accepted or rejected, or is it intent?

# data[].attributes.body
Really liked your video! My question is: what are the reasons behind mass media being a source that people trust to form their biases?

# data[].attributes.body
You talked about material goods being really important to gain and learn knowledge. My question is are material goods inevitably required in the search of all knowledge ?  Are there any examples where the material goods brought more harm than good in the acquisition of knowledge ?

Btw good presentation. It was obvious you had no script and it all came from the mind !!

# data[].attributes.body
I liked your explanations in tying together biases and knowledge. I have a question regarding your overall prompt in relation to your objects.

There's a theme with bias in affecting the way humans live their lives as humans essentially construct biases based on social experiences etc ... However, my question is that is bias inherently bad? Or is it inevitable/unavoidable? If so, how do you think humans can be responsible with their biases?

# data[].attributes.body
An interesting exhibition - lots of food for thought! My question relates to your prompt overall: What do you perceive to be the implications of increasing use of technology in the modern world on the inevitability of bias? For example, you discuss the Google Nest Mini. I recently watched 'Coded Bias' on Netflix which got me thinking about this too...

# data[].attributes.body
In your opinion , do you think the English people should have forgiven the Spanish footballer ( Cavani?) for his innocent greetings that root from his cultural background? Or was Cavani insensitive with his language considering he had an English audience in environment he was in?

Btw I like how all your objects brought in new perspectives and a different dimension on how challenges were raised by the communication of knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
There are a lot of interesting perspectives that you posed in regards to historical developments. I have a question in regards to your prompt. There are some instances were people argue that we should learn from history to prevent the same things from happening in present time. However, we are still learning about history and debating its perspectives. Do you think this offers 'knowledge' for individuals, or are we stuck in an echo chamber of pre-existing opinions?

# data[].attributes.body
Could you specify the benefits of the electron microscope's higher magnification?

Btw, I love your in-depth knowledge & clear links there (clap)

I really liked the object of the UFO, however would you agree that certain information must be constrained and hidden from society for well-being of the public, due to the lack of understanding of the information itself? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
You mentioned that virality could potentially dilute a message of a particular content. In this case, do you think that all forms of knowledge should be disseminated/shared with as many people as possible? Or should certain knowledge be 'owned'?

# data[].attributes.body
Your discussion regarding your knowledge question was clear and concise. The decision of using common everyday items also played a huge role in your commentary as it made me feel like what you were talking about directly affects the way I am living my life right now. My question for you is what are the repercussions in relying on knowledge from objects such as the on you stated.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why did the majority of Americans support Stefan Leifert because of his professionalism?

2. Based on your remark that adolescents can't discern between good or bad,  do you believe that all teenagers are easily swayed by others?

You had a clear link & voice, bro; keep it up!
You may need to describe your RLSs a little clearer though...

In your opinion, which form of media (amongst your three objects) use imagination to regularly impact consumers the most both in a factual and emotional sense, and why?

# data[].attributes.body
I liked your exploration for the book and vitalism! My question is that since we have improved our knowledge as a society, and as you mentioned 'not rely on exorcisms when people are sick'; there are still people who believe that mental illnesses are the devil's work. Why do you think for some groups that knowledge has 'improved' and for other groups, knowledge has remained the 'same'?

# data[].attributes.body
For your first object, you’ve mentioned that different accents would affect the users’ experience with the Google Home Mini. Besides using the Google Home MIni, are there any common examples which portray how the cultural background could influence the production of knowledge?

Wonderful presentation! I like that you outline all your objects and link to prompt at the beginning of the video and well done for including TOK terms such as ethical relativism.

Amazing presentation Siti! I like that you choose objects that kicks off various topics for discussions including art, literature and marketing strategy. I especially love your link for Little Women book to the prompt. It's a really strong argument. My question for you: For your second object, do you think the imagination lies within the music (as a form of art) itself or does it comes from the way the language is translated?

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the ideas you presented, linking your prompt to very clearly your objects. I have a question with regards to the knowledge it self that one either accepts or rejects. If one "accepts" a form of knowledge, how can one determine whether this knowledge is actually true in reality or not?

# data[].attributes.body
Does someone with influence mean that the person is an expert? How do we distinguish the two?

How can experts still be referred to as 'experts' if they are placing their bias towards information that is meant to be trusted by all?

Amazing passion, btw (clap clap)

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, I loved your introduction with the music! It was entertaining to watch :)

I liked the ties you made between your objects and your TOK prompt. My question is: who gets to decide what knowledge should be constrained to 'protect' the well-being of the people? Is it fair if only experts or authorities are allowed to make these decisions when in reality, it's the people who will either benefit/suffer from the pursuit of these knowledges?

# data[].attributes.body

Your justifications are really good and I liked the fact you chose an object that counters your prompt. However, regarding the chewing gum; what would you consider as 'ethical'? Would being part of a community that believes in certain laws or 'ethics' immediately mean you are obligated to follow them if you're part of that community?

# data[].attributes.body
I find your link between your prompt and your object of glasses very interesting and valid!

However, we must consider that there are individuals who are blind and adapt to 'seeing' in a different way ... braille and using other senses. In this case, would you consider tools as important in the acquisition of knowledge or is it the dedication/perseverance in the pursuit of knowledge that allows them to acquire new knowledge?

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed your insight on the ethical obligations that people have and do not have. My question is: as someone who is from Malaysia, a neighbouring country to Singapore, why do you think our ethical obligations stop and/or continue just because we are separated by borders? (Since Singapore was once apart of the Malayan territory)

There were many great points you brought up in terms of the importance of historical development in our current knowledge.  In you opinion, will there ever come a time where historical findings are irrelevant to the development of knowledge in the future hence becoming obsolete, or will they always stay as an integral part of the production of future knowledge?

I like the perspective you offered through the lasers! In regards to that, since humans all can agree that red is red, green is green, blue is blue and etc ... but it can also be said that no two people ever see the colours the same. In this case, the knowledge that red is red can be deemed unreliable but we know that the colour red is red. Do you think that all knowledge has to be reliable or does is only have to be decided upon consensus that it is 'knowledge'?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think there has ever been any scenarios in which historical findings were actually detrimental to the improvement or findings of modern knowledge?

By the way, great job! :)

No question from me. All the questions above are great. I love how varied your objects are and how well they link to the prompt question. Well done!

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed your presentation and you have a unique array of objects. Regarding your first object, why do you think humans fear the unknown? Is there a biological, primitive reason behind it?

# data[].attributes.body
I particularly like this prompt as well as the objects that you've selected. In regards to the second object, and how you mentioned that it translated to a 'web', which indicates that human minds can be seen as a web; my question is that do you think that the reason humans seek knowledge because we are afraid or because we are selfish? Which one do you think is worse?

# data[].attributes.body
This was definitely the most creative exhibition I have seen! Awesome!
A few questions though:

Object 1. Should censorship of information be punished under a law that requires knowledge to be spread? How severe should it be?

Object 2: If there are two sides to a fight, one almost always thinks they are right? How can we change that?

Object 3: Even though Jesus' crucifixion is scientifically not possible (as you mentioned),  people still believe it. How does that mean that knowledge is constrained? (also wasn't his rebirth in two days? good friday to easter sunday)

I know it's a lot of questions... sorry about that... But the exhibition was epic for sure. Cheers!

# data[].attributes.body
Good links between objects and prompt. My question: In your opinion, how do you think we can limit/evaluate the experts/influential people's role in influencing the consumption of knowledge?

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed your exhibition! For my question, do you think that there needs to be a stricter process in who we deem as experts and how much we allow them to influence us? It seems that even experts these days are able to be driven by a political agenda (as you pointed out in the Great Firewall of China) - since this is the case, who can we really trust?

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed your insight throughout your entire exhibition! For your first object, and the Hieroglyph of Set's, since there are multiple interpretations and we are unable to validate any of the knowledge we know about them - do you think that there is a particular need to ensure that all knowledge is as accurate as possible? Or should we allow the freedom for people to interpret it as they wish?

# data[].attributes.body
I really loved how you linked all your objects to the prompt, not much of a question - but just saying great job! In your opinion, do you think with hindsight (knowing it would protect his country but also have grave consequences) , whether Einstein SHOULD have helped build the atomic bomb anyways?

# data[].attributes.body
Great presentation and really good links. I personally enjoyed the hieroglyph of Set as it presented many interesting links. Regarding the second object, do you feel like the reason many male assaulters were not appropriately punished was due to the fact NUS's senior management team is mainly men?

Doesn't collectivism also respect the rights of individuals as well? Because if collectivism is about everyone, then one person's beliefs & worries are cared for too, right?
