TOK real-world situations

A real-world situation is a specific thing that happened, described plainly enough that a student can read it cold and argue about it. It is where a TOK lesson starts: the class works out what is actually in dispute, and lifts a knowledge question clear of the case. Every situation here is tagged with the TOK concepts it raises, the parts of the knowledge framework it puts under strain, and the IA prompts it connects to, so you can find one that fits the lesson you are already teaching.
