ToK Exhibition May 2022- Grade A

본 commentary 은 What constraints are there on the pursuit of knowledge? 라는 question으로 쓰여진 글이고 A를 받았습니다. 제 글과 비슷한 내용의 prompts 가 종종 있고 글의 내용도 다른 주제와 연결해서 쓰기도 좋은 주제들이 있으니 읽어보는 것이 도움이 될 것 같습니다. 2022년에 새로 생긴 형태의 assessment인 만큼 자료에 관해서 학생분들의 많은 어려움이 있을 것 이라고 생각합니다.
글을 읽어보고 많은 도움 받으시길 바랍니다.
