ToK essay, counterclaims


inshm2016

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I chose title number 4: ’Without application in the world, the value of knowledge is greatly diminished.’’ Consider this claim with respect to two areas of knowledge.''

I am writing about how knowledge can have an intellectual or cultural value, and that the value of knowledge does not diminish without a practical application. One of my examples is the discovery of the Higgs boson. Till now, this discovery has not put to a practical use, but it was still so appreciated that it was awarded the nobel prize. Now, my biggest concern is counterclaims. I feel I have a lot of examples to bring up, but no counterclaims. How would you guys recommend coming up with counterclaims. What could for example a counterclaim to my comment that the discovery of the higgs particle satisfy an intellectual value be?
