Introduction One of the first quotes that IB students learn from their TOK books is “Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge” (Khalil Gibran). This quote, better than anything, explains that gaining knowledge begins with disagreement. Multiple people may see the same thing differently having different thoughts and ideas about it. Some of these people’s ideas will turn out to be true depending on the evidence that they get, others seeing that their theories have no backing will agree that what…

My name is Shiro, I got this weird name from my parents who are just infatuated with Japanese culture. They say they named me after the snow that fell the day I was born. I also have a white cat who so happens to have the name of Shiro. What are the odds? Considering the cat is older than me by a year, I often wonder with their terrible naming sense if they named me after a cat. Of course they franticly insist that I was named after the pure white snow on that day and by no means after a cat. I…

observation changed drastically when Brahe chose to observe the positions of planets throughout their orbit. Prior to this, astronomers had chosen to observe plant positions only at certain points in their orbit. Because of this, several orbital anomalies were discovered. In 1601, Tycho Brahe died and left all his observational data to Johan Kepler. These records provided Kepler with the information necessary to disprove the Ptolemaic theory by stating that planets orbit around the sun.…

The most significant challenge I’ve ever had to overcome presented itself to me during November of my Sophomore year. My father had just learned his cancer came back. This news wasn’t anything new, since he has been dealing with cancer since 2010; what was new was that it had metastasized into his bloodstream and threatened his life. My father’s bout with cancer required him to suffer through several rounds of radiation. Even when he told me he was going to be okay, I could see in his eyes he…

and quality, its magnificent conservation, and the freshness of its pigments made its recognition to be postponed for a quarter of a century (Led to the postponement of its recognition for a quarter of a century.). At that time, it was a scientific anomaly, a discovery that set up a giant leap and not an incremental step. It was a phenomenon difficult to understand for the society of the nineteenth century, shaken by extreme and rigid scientific postulates. Bison, horses, deer, hands, and…

Gladwell's purpose is to impress upon the readers the idea that outliers do not start out as outliers and to understand their success, one needs to look beyond their intelligence and ambition and their personality traits and examine their culture, their family, and their generation. He employs the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos and logos. These combined…

dialogue-less segments, what is experienced during The Return’s 18 hours is hardly just television, it is in fact, quite the cinematic experience. Nonetheless, the odds of anything like The Return ever being made again are slim. The Return is an anomaly to what is considered television or even film — it’s unique in that it is the apex of everything that Lynch has been working towards his entire career. It’s his magnum opus. The Return recalls the surreal, almost absurd aura of "Eraserhead," the…
