In the realm of TOK, arguments and supporting examples play a significant role in understanding and exploring knowledge. However, the sequence of presenting them, whether leading with examples or arguments, doesn't matter and your essay should adapt according to the prescribed title you've chosen. A diverse range of evidence across AOKs provides a nuanced perspective that mirrors the complexity of knowledge.
๐ Real-world example: Imagine a court case where a lawyer builds arguments and presents evidence. The lawyer doesn't necessarily follow a specific order, what's important is that the arguments and evidence collectively build a compelling case.
Avoid oversimplified, hypothetical, speculative or unverifiable examples. Use examples that are grounded in real-world situations and reflect what you've learned about good evidence.
๐ Real-world example: A physics student trying to explain the theory of relativity would need to ground her explanation in real-world examples, such as the GPS system adjusting for time dilation, rather than hypothetical situations.
Consider the PT from May 2016, "In knowledge there is always a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity". To tackle this, you could explore how this trade-off manifests in the production and transfer of knowledge in two AOKs.
Discuss the inverse relationship between accuracy and simplicity in how knowledge is produced in two AOKs, such as mathematical proofs, models of economic and biological processes, scientific and political theories, etc.
๐ Real-world example: The Bohr model of an atom is a simplistic representation (easy to understand), but lacks the accuracy of more advanced models like the Quantum Mechanical model.
