TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: A Whistleblower’s Leaked Document on Environmental Violations

  • Theme: Knowledge and Technology
  • Rationale: The act of whistleblowing, especially involving the leak of documents that reveal environmental violations by a corporation, demonstrates the ethical obligations felt by individuals who possess knowledge of wrongdoing. This object shows how knowledge of harmful practices or dangers to public health and the environment can compel individuals to take action, often at great personal risk, to inform the public or authorities. It reflects on the ethical dilemmas faced by those who, through their professional or insider status, acquire knowledge that has significant implications for societal welfare.
