IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK) SL Theory of Knowledge Example

You chose a focused prompt that supports a clear central line of inquiry about whether knowledge creates responsibility.

Your three objects are specific, real, and meaningfully connected to lived contexts rather than remaining abstract examples.

You consistently move beyond description to explain how each object reveals a TOK claim about consequence, obligation, and ethical action.

You include useful qualification, especially where you recognize limits such as shared responsibility and financial constraint.

You support key claims with relevant evidence and show awareness of how different kinds of knowledge operate in everyday life.

Some parts of the argument repeat the same general idea that knowledge creates responsibility without always sharpening what is distinct about each object.

The mask example would be stronger with a more precise real-world context and a clearer source for the claims attached to it.

At times the reasoning could distinguish more clearly between knowledge that merely informs and knowledge that genuinely obliges action.

The conclusion would be stronger if you stated more explicitly when responsibility lies with individuals, corporations, or both.

A few claims would benefit from tighter phrasing so the exhibition feels even more precise and controlled.
