example of how personal beliefs in the science world can disprove the collective beliefs of the
many, and disproves the notion that validity lies in the beliefs of the many.
The very nature of the two areas of knowledge is what causes the differing stances on
Eric Schmidts statement. Religion itself is mostly based on emotion and faith, two very
subjective areas of knowing that adheres to the personal interpretations of things whereas
Science is based off logic and reasoning where very little self belief is taken into account,
however emotions will always exist even when dwelling on a very logical concept, causing
science to be similar to religion some regards. Personally I believe that a personal knowledge is
somewhat like a seed, with constant nurture by the many the seed will eventually grow into the
shared knowledge. I believe that ideas stem from personal beliefs and the validity of an idea
should not be judged based on whether it is believed by the many or the few.
Red color: Real life situation mentioned and clearly shown however it is used to explain the
quote used in the prompt rather than a new real life situation. Structuring and paragraph wise,
should be used in a separate paragraph
Light Blue Color: Development of the idea is used here from real life situation to KI, though
should be divided into another paragraph
Color: Defines the two TOK terms mentioned in the KI, the problem is that the paragraph is also
utilized to describe the development of the KI. And to an extent defines one interpretation of the
quote however it not really clear that, that is what he is trying to do. Though it does define the
words, it could have been structured better.
Green Color: Presents another interpretation of the quote with the use of an examples however it
is only briefly used and never truly revisited.
Purple color: Introduces the two areas of knowledge used to develop the ideas of the KI and
succinctly describes the scope and application of the two areas of knowledge overall, not a lot to
improve.
Dark Green: development of methodology of the 2 ares of knowledge and seeing how they
contradict one another. Uses two examples of religions and how there are overlapping concepts
that addresses the main TOK KI
Gold Color: Now there is a counter argument for the two methodologies and exploration of the
science as a counter claim for religion as the area of knowledge of religion.
White: Describes the downsides of shared knowledge and presents a counter claim to the counter
claim. Once again uses several real life example however could be developed more.
Conclusion: Should be used more to develop the TOK idea and should be applied towards other
real life example though strong and revenant should refer back to more real life examples.
