First, my thanks go to Mr Nicklin for the introduction last Friday and for handing over to me. I will do everything possible to continue the excellent work he has been doing so far.
I also thank Shloka for adding me on this blog. And thank you all for your participation in class this afternoon.
I hoped you enjoyed our session today.
The aim of the lesson - and the following assignment - is to help you review and apply what you have learnt so far.
So here we go:
We have listened to the strange story of a stranger in the night in West Virginia in 1967. A mysterious figure, all in black, knocked at the door of a couple on that rainy night. In a deep voice and with a strange accent, he told them that his car had broken down and asked to use their phone. The terrified couple shut the door in the face of the fearsome apparition, saying there was no phone in the house. The next day they told their friends about the incident...
Analyse the story that you have heard today from a TOK perspective.
1. What are the knowledge claims made by
a. the couple,
b. their friends?
2. What do you believe really happened?
3. Justify your belief.
Cheers!
