#1: Please show me that you understand at least one piece of feedback by explaining how you could improve your presentation and/or TKPPD after reading the feedback. What exactly would you do differently and why? Reference your presentation and/or TKPPD specifically.
For my presentation I could have made it better by sticking to on way of knowing instead of using both emotion and culture. Using both made it a little confusing for my presentation because the two could easily get mixed up and the audience could be confused.. It would also benifitt from a more focused discussion

#2: What questions do you have for me regarding the feedback? If you don't have any questions, please write "I don't have any questions regarding the feedback."

Intuition, Ethics, and Biases
Part A: Choose one of the first nine cognitive biases listed on pp. 200-203. (If you know of others, you may use a different one.) Watch out for it in your own thinking and try to notice its effect on what you see and hear around you. Also pay attention to whether other people and companies (media, advertisements, etc.) appeal to the bias. Write about any examples of that bias that you have noticed during the week. Be specific please! Use real examples only. [25 points summative]
For a cognative Bias I chose to discuss Hindsight bias this a bias that I have observed often. Such as an example my cousin and i got into a car accidnet and we never thought it was going to happen but afterwards we thought that it was obvius because the oad was really icy and it was a bad interecion.
Part B: Write a short response to answer the following question: How might intuition act as both a lens (helps you see the truth) and as a filter (prevent you from seeing the truth) in making moral and ethical decisions? In your response, please refer to a real, moral dilemma that you have encountered (recently or in the past). You may include multiple examples if needed to illustrate your point. [25 points formative]
Intuition can be both a lense and a filter. When your intutiontion comes into play it can give you the best posible decision because it can be your very first reaction. But there are sometimes when yur firsst reaction is not the best reaction. Such as if somone robbed you, youmight want to take it into your own hands out of anger and what not but if you actually thought it over you would know it is not the best decision.
Part C: Please respond to the following statement, "The possession of knowledge carries an ethical responsibility." This is a former IB essay prompt in which students had to write 1600 words evaluating this claim. In your own response, please use at least one specific, real example to support your response. [25 points summative]
this example is often evidnet with ideas such as evolution and religion. Scientist may believe that they have ideas such as evolution figured out how the earth came to be and people, but somone who uses religion ass a tool may not want to use ideas and theories from science to come to an answer.

Blog post #4 The basques people
The basques people are a ethnic group who are found in a region that is around the west end of the Pyrenees, of the bay of Biscay and covers into the north western corner of Spain and south western France. The language they speak is called Basques. Much of this population lives in or near the Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz also know as BAB the urban belt on the coast in Basque these are Baiona, Angelu and Miarritze people. Basques identify themselves by the term euskaldun and their country as Euskal Herria. The basques people feel more strongly of their ethnic group than France.
"I am French and Basque. There is no conflict, I am proud of both. . . . I have friends who are involved in the political side of things but that is not for me. My only interest is the culture, the Euskera language, the people, our history and ways" Basque rugby union player for France, Imanol Harinordoquy
The peoples remain isolated from the common french agenda and side with basques issues and culture. There have been many movements to separate from France and Spain and have their own country but the idea is not accepted by either country.The state language promotion, school regulation, causes mass media and migration, and almost all Basques people after primary school speak the official language of their country France or Spain There are extremely few Basque monolingual speakers so almost all Basque speakers are bilingual on both sides of the border. Spanish or French is typically the first language of citizens from other regions who often feel no need to learn Basque, maintains the dominance of the state tongues of both France and Spain. Basque people also have a close connection to their homes as well having a self sufficient life style farming much of what they got on their property.
How do we really now that it would be beneficial for the basque people to have their own country?

Why do TOK?
I think the reason we have the class Theory of Knowledge is to make us critical thinkers. Do demonstrate this idea I choose this picture above. This picture above is a diagram that shows a connection between the various things we learn. It shows how everything we learn is connect together and balanced. This is good for us to study and know for as we continue with our studies it will help us do well and be diverse.
Part B: One sturgis IB learner profile trait that is the least exemplified is the risk- taker trait. I feel this is the hardest of them all because it is the hardest to do in our daily lives. In order to be a risk taker you have to go out of your normal comfort zone, and for a lot of people this can be hard for us to do. It is inate for us to play it safe and do what's comfortable and the easiest. When taking risks there's always the unknown and the chance of failure. As many people who go to sturgis know, we like to do well and succeed in whatever we do wether it's sports, academics or anything else. So taking a risk that might end in failure is hard for us.
