Below write 200 words stating and outlining 3 KEY POINTS gained from the lecture material and explain why you consider them key points.

There is no way to know everything there is to know. This means that knowledge will always be inherently limited by numerous different factors. According to DesCartes, knowing can only be applied to what one has clearly observed to be true (111). Observable knowledge can be limited by things such as background and sex. However, the greatest limitation may be lack of skepticism, whether it be questioning oneself or an authority.

One person who is misjudged in literature is Darry from “The Outsiders”.

He mirrors the actions
There are two sorts of knowledge in Arcadia: the knowledge of love and academic knowledge. These two types of knowledge are in constant conflict throughout the text. It is only the proposition of marriage, the intellectual justification for sex, which allows a resolution between the two forces.

As a consequence, she presents a very personal account of her mother and her behaviour, changing her view and her opinion according to how well or badly she feels her mother is treating her. As the narrator consistently intertwines her own personal story with fairy tales, it is useful to analyse the whole narrative according to Vladimir Propp’s character theory. In his work Morphology of the Folktale, Propp identifies thirty-one key-narrative developing functions that served as stable, constant elements of the fairy tale which bring sequential changes to a specified initial situation, usually performed by seven character
Ignorance is a trait that plagues the world today. Whether intended or not, every person has some form of ignorance on a subject. In today’s society, we are sometimes required to make decisions on subjects that we have ignorance on. John Proctor’s fate and Miller’s idea of society and a tragic hero are used to demonstrate the dangers of false knowledge to convey that decisions made from ignorance lead to corruption and manipulation.
Many people wonder is it wrong to lie or are there some situation where lying is the best option?

In the movie “12 Angry Men”, various Ways of Knowing are identified by the TOK course such as emotions, perception and reason. The film demonstrates the role that emotion plays in the aim of knowledge, if we can truly trust our sense to perceive what the world really is, and is arguing through reasoning significant? Emotion plays a role in the search for the truth whether it is the aim for new knowledge or the jury’s search for a solution in the case. “12 Angry Men” displays how emotions can aid our judgment. When the juror’s expressed outrage, it was because they had heard something that they didn’t approve of therefore, they expressed an emotion that reflected their opinion.
In the visual representation of King Claudius from William Shakespeare’s renowned play Hamlet, eight objects, images or origami, are displayed with conclusive representation of Claudius’s character. Starting off with a purple snake that stemmed from a drawing of its body, the serpent serves as a symbol of Claudius’s deviousness. Without even questioning such analogy, William Shakespeare himself had directly attributed Claudius as the emblematic “serpent that did sting … [Hamlet’s] father’s life” and took over Denmark (Shakespeare, I.v.39). In biblical illustrations of the paradise, a snake had convinced Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden apple out of malice and caused them to be banished down to Earth, and Claudius, too, had killed the previous
Raskolnikov’s accumulating debt owed to his landlord prevents him from moving outside of Saint Petersburg and causes massive emotional damage. Each time he leaves his apartment, he fears seeing his landlady, The stress and anxiety arising from the debt he owes to his landlord causes him to become unruly and he had, “fallen into a state of nervous depression akin to hypochondria,” feeding into his detachment from society.
