TOK Links: Indigenous Societies (theme); Natural Science/Climate change (AOK); culture, values, responsibility, perspectives (concepts).

Your justification: Swinomish Tribe Washington is reviving a 3000 year old practice of clam gardens and creating a solution for issues related to climate change and conservation. The Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledges and Science is attempting to unite science and indigenous practices. Demonstrates increasing value in various ways of knowing and understanding the environment.

Pose a Knowledge question or idea for comment/discussion:
Discuss the reactions and/or implications for the  mainstream community and/or the science community. Consider the possible conflicts with methodology between western science and the indigenous knowledge.

Justification:  CRISPR ex-scientist He Jiankui proposed that he helped two babies by genetically editing them. With further investigation, he was found guilty for illegal medical practices and procedures. With politics joining in he was sentenced to 3 years in jail :3. the center for conjoining politics and sciences is that because of the procedure that he enacted upon those two girls, although it can be argued that it helped those girls, it also was found that their maximum lifespan would have deteriorated. This was, by law, illegal. Causing politics to a play a hand in how the perspectives changed towards that He did.

Pose a Knowledge question or idea for comment/discussion: Should there be restrictions on scientific practices? If so,  how should we determine where the line is?]]> 2023-10-12 21:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744229905 https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744233346 TOK Links: Natural sciences: Values, Justification, Evidence


Justification: In China, He Jiankui had altered the DNA of two embryos and had them put in women in order to grow into infants. The justification of this experiment is what is questioned and eventually ended up with He Jiankui going to jail. This raised questions about the values and justification for experiments within the sciences.

Knowledge Question: At what line do values and justification overrule the desire to find new evidence?]]> 2023-10-12 21:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744233346 https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744235236 The question of if someone deserves to die has been a moral dilemma since the first recorded death sentence in the 16th Century BC in Egypt. With the ongoing modern debate in reference to the death penalty throughout the United States, many points have been made for and against this practice. For instance, many anti-death penalty activists cite human rights violations and ethical considerations for putting someone to death. However, many pro-death penalty activists cite deterrence towards other criminals considering crimes which would insight into the death penalty as well as the economic costs of incarceration for an inmate. In addition to this, it is also important to answer how one could "deserve" death. In many instances, the death penalty has been handed out to those who have committed violent crimes or other extreme cases of treachery. Because of this, the definition which will be asserted throughout this argument will be that for one to deserve death, they must do something to warrant the death penalty. Historically, however, execution has been an extreme case of treachery, perjury, and conspiracy, especially in French society. In light of this, the question of if someone, Cassiano specifically, could deserve death, it will be important to consider what he could do. As previously stated, the death penalty has been used as a common deterrent for violent crimes throughout the United States. In light of this, an extreme deterrent for future crimes could be the execution of someone who has not been convicted. To elaborate, if someone, Cassiano for example, were to be executed before being tried to the fullest extent of the court, then future crimes could be deterred to an extreme extent in order to stop future crimes. In all, Cassiano could potentially deserve to die if it could be proved to deter future crimes from being committed. So, to answer the question of if Cassiano should die, the answer is probably.  ]]> 2023-10-12 21:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744235236 https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744238438 Tok links: Ethics, culture, values (concepts).

Your justification: bullfighting is a sport and method of entertainment that has fallen out of practice substantially despite its cultural significance and influence in media and Spanish history. because of the violent and cruel nature of bullfighting, it is referred to negatively as a practice by animal rights groups and movements. the sport has fallen out of vogue because of the ethical change within communities and how we view the mistreatment of animals.

Knowledge question/idea for comment: how has this sport changed over time due to a change in ethics and beliefs? ]]> 2023-10-12 21:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/michelleray70/ebam89oey52hbg8k/wish/2744238438
