TOK Essay title

I would most probably like to do the 8th title:
"To understand something you need to rely on your own experience and culture. Does this mea that it is impossible to have objective knowledge?"
I agree with this title as our own experience and culture influence the way we live our lives, our thoughts and our actions. It also affects the way we interact with others and the way we percieve other's interaction with us. Culture and to a certain extent, religion, also affect our understanding. I will discuss this using examples in my essay.
