Presentation Transcript

  1. TaK – Presentations Real-life situation/Contemporary problem: News item from Latin America about a Priest slapping a young man who was rude in church Knowledge Claim: "Priests are always right“ Knowledge Issue: Who do we trust, and why do we trust them? (this became a discussion about why we trust teachers, parents, authority figures in general)

  2. TaK – Presentations Real-life situation/Contemporary problem: Video clip of a George W Bush speech about invading Iraq Knowledge Claim: "Language deceives" (Bush was talking about 'liberation' rather than 'invasion' etc) Knowledge Issue: Can we trust language to show us truth?

  3. TaK – Presentations Real-life situation/Contemporary problem: Ease of access to pornography on the internet Knowledge Claim: "Pornography should not be accessible to minors“ Knowledge Issue:To what extent does context decide the nature of an object? (the presenters wondered whether images in a biology text book could be considered pornographic)

  4. TaK – Presentations Real-life situation/Contemporary problem:Photographs of dancers (we were shown photographs that had been printed as posters for a dance performance at the college last term) Knowledge Claim: "A photograph is not a truthful representation of reality" (the photos had been digitally altered) Knowledge Issue: To what extent can lies be used to tell the truth?
