Tok Exhibition Prompt 21 – What is the relationship between knowledge and culture?

TOK EXHIBITION  Object1 : A Copy of the Rosetta Stone

  • Theme: Knowledge and Language
  • Rationale: The Rosetta Stone, an ancient artifact inscribed with the same decree in three scripts (hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek), serves as a powerful symbol of the relationship between knowledge and culture. It played a crucial role in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, thereby unlocking the knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization. This object exemplifies how language acts as a bridge between knowledge and culture, enabling the transmission of cultural heritage across generations and facilitating cross-cultural understanding by providing insights into the values, beliefs, and practices of ancient societies.

TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: UNESCO World Heritage Site Listing Document

  • Theme: Knowledge and Indigenous Societies
  • Rationale: The document listing a site as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, such as Machu Picchu or the Great Barrier Reef, highlights the global recognition of cultural and natural heritage as invaluable sources of knowledge. These listings underscore the intrinsic connection between culture and knowledge, recognizing how places of outstanding universal value contribute to our collective understanding of humanity and the natural world. This object invites reflection on how cultural preservation efforts safeguard knowledge for future generations, emphasizing the role of international cooperation in maintaining the diversity of human and natural knowledge.

Objects in the TOK exhibition serve as tangible manifestations of complex TOK concepts, allowing students to explore and demonstrate their understanding of knowledge in a concrete and relatable context. They act as catalysts for deep reflection, discussion, and analysis, bridging abstract theory with real-world examples and personal experiences.
