DBS IB TOK - Tragedy
1 like470 views
The presentation discusses how language can shape thought through the use of politically charged terms like "security fence", "absentees", and "shoot-to-protect". It questions whether the barrier between Israel and Palestine is truly a security fence given its political purposes, and whether terminology is used to deny responsibility. The presentation ends by thanking the audience.
