I Think Therefore IB

A couple of articles that I came across in the New York Times yesterday looked rather ToK-ish. You could issue them for reflection in your journals.

Article No. 1:

Vogue’s Fashion Photos Spark Debate in India

Is this right? What do you think?

With Child, With Cancer

Should chemotherapy be used while a person is pregnant? Is it necessary to abort the child? What does science say, what ethics?

I also have a couple of articles from last year that you might find interesting for a journal entry. (Actually, I have more, but not to overload you…)

The above is a link to an article on an intriguing reclassification that illustrates how race is cultural, rather than natural category. So Chinese people are now “black”.

And below: an interesting scientific article… reminding us of all the uncertain areas in the sciences.

Dark, Perhaps Forever

Growing a finger… or not….?
Two interesting articles for you to peruse…. scientific progress and some ToK-minded scientists critically questioning the progress.

Finger Miracle questioned by critical thinkers (most definitely ToK students once upon a time!)
