Tok Exhibition Prompt 24 – How might the context in which knowledge is presented influence whether it is accepted or rejected?

TOK EXHIBITION Object1 : A News Broadcast on Climate Change by a Trusted News Outlet

  • Theme: Knowledge and Technology
  • Rationale: A news broadcast about climate change from a reputable and trusted media outlet serves as an example of how authority and trustworthiness of the source influence the acceptance of knowledge. The context of receiving complex scientific information from a respected news organization can lend credibility and urgency to the message, affecting public perception and acceptance of the science behind climate change. This contrasts with skepticism often encountered when the same information is presented through less credible sources or polarized media, illustrating the critical role of source credibility in knowledge acceptance.

TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: Social Media Infographics on Vaccination

  • Theme: Knowledge and Technology
  • Rationale: Infographics shared on social media platforms about vaccination benefits and risks illustrate how the medium and design of information presentation can affect its reception. The visual appeal, simplicity, and perceived shareability of infographics can enhance message acceptance among audiences that might not engage with more traditional or dense formats of knowledge dissemination. However, the same attributes can also facilitate the spread of misinformation if not carefully fact-checked, highlighting the double-edged sword of social media as a context for knowledge presentation.

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. By strategically choosing objects that offer clear relevance and depth, students position themselves to deliver a compelling exhibition that fully addresses the criteria for a 10/10 score.
