For our TOK presentation, I was in group 2 and we talked about ethics and emotion.
I think I did a good job in my group, I put a lot of work in my part of the presentation. However, I think I could have addressed the public more frequently during my part of the presentation (parents and teachers as authority figures), this way it would have been a lot less monotonous.
I also feel that, in general, we worked very well as a group, we were able to come up with several activities and interesting ideas on our topic, and we were also able to work out a way to go through our presentation despite technical problems as not having internet or the fact that one of our team mates was sick and could not present. I think we were able to explain our views on ethics from the three different perspectives we were planning to approach the topic, but I think we did not explain emotion as well as we could. We showed emotion in our views of ethics, but it could have been more explicit. I also felt that our presentation was missing some cohesion between its three main parts and maybe we could have organized our time better.
I learnt several thing from the other presentations as well as from ours. I noticed that being able to work well as a group is essential to make a group presentation and that activities and specific funny commentaries make presentations a lot less monotonous and make people pay a lot more attention. I also learnt about different views on different topics that I had never considered in such detail. For example the line between what is art and what is not art or the fact that it is so easy to trick your brain into being affected by things that are not real.
