==THE REAL-LIFE SITUATION: Human sacrifice growing in Uganda - The number of people killed in ritual murders last year rose to a new high of at least 15 children and 14 adults, up from just three cases in 2007. ==

MAIN KNOWLEDGE ISSUE: Are there some things which are universally unacceptable?
__** Monday 10 May 2010 **__ - COMPLETE PRESENTATION TEMPLATE [|Graphic Planning Template TOK Presentation.pdf] 1. Identify more knowledge issues related to the KI which is the focus of your presentation. - How does religion or background change one's opinion of "Taboo", hence the level of acceptance to "universal ethical law"? - "What is Taboo"?

2. Show how you will develop the ideas. What are the implications of the KIs? - Human Sacrifice is considered unethical in most nations, but yet, in some religions, it is still practiced. - Also, some religions and cultures involve animal sacrifice but human sacrifice is not accepted. - Many people do not accept such practices, but no one has really any evidence to reasons of why such activities should be banned universally. - So why should we not allow the practice such activities due to the suggestion that what is considered "Taboo" varies.

3. Identify at least two perspectives of different knowers.

- Religious Perspective (Different Religions have Different Opinions) i.e. Religions That Promote Human Sacrifice vs. Religions That Denounce Human Sacrifice - Non-Religious Perspective (Media + Public Opinions)
