Tok Exhibition Prompt 19 – What counts as a good justification for a claim?

TOK EXHIBITION  Object 1: A Peer-Reviewed Research Article on Climate Change

  • Theme: Knowledge and Technology
  • Rationale: A peer-reviewed article on climate change, published in a reputable scientific journal, serves as an exemplar of rigorous justification in the scientific community. The process of peer review itself, requiring scrutiny by multiple experts in the field, ensures that claims made within the article are supported by empirical evidence, methodological soundness, and logical reasoning. This object highlights the importance of consensus, reproducibility, and transparency in justifying scientific claims, emphasizing the role of peer review in maintaining the integrity of scientific knowledge.

TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: Supreme Court Decision on Digital Privacy Rights

  • Theme: Knowledge and Technology
  • Rationale: A landmark Supreme Court decision that addresses digital privacy rights, such as the case of Carpenter v. United States, can serve to illustrate the complex issues at the intersection of law, technology, and individual freedoms. This decision, which required law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing cell phone records, highlights how advancements in technology necessitate reevaluation and justification of legal principles in the modern age. It reflects on how legal claims, especially those concerning privacy and surveillance in the digital realm, are justified through a rigorous examination of constitutional rights, technological capabilities, and societal values, thereby fitting into the Knowledge and Technology theme by exploring the ethical implications of technology on privacy and individual rights.
