🎓 TOK Exhibition Prompt 25: How Can We Distinguish Between Knowledge, Belief, and Opinion?

How do we tell what’s truly known, what’s deeply believed, and what’s just personal preference? In this video, we explore Prompt 25 from the TOK Exhibition and examine the subtle (and sometimes slippery) differences between knowledge, belief, and opinion. Understanding these distinctions helps us navigate the world of facts, faith, and feelings with more clarity.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

A rephrased version of the prompt: How do we tell the difference between what is proven, what is held with conviction, and what is merely personal preference?

Clear definitions:

Knowledge – Justified, evidence-based claims

Belief – Convictions held with or without full evidence

Opinion – Subjective judgments based on taste, values, or perspective

Real-world examples that represent each category—and show how they sometimes blur

📚 Examples Explored:

📄 Scientific journal article – peer-reviewed knowledge based on data

📖 Religious/philosophical text – deep beliefs rooted in values and tradition

📰 Editorial columns and blog posts – expressions of personal opinion

📊 Opinion polls – collective belief or preference, not always aligned with evidence

🖼️ Art galleries – contrasting creator belief with viewer interpretation

🧃 “Library of Misinformation” – how once-accepted "facts" can later be debunked

🧠 TOK Concepts Unpacked:

Truth – What aligns with reality across contexts

Justification – The strength of reasoning behind a claim

Subjectivity – How personal background shapes belief and opinion

💡 TOK Insight:
Distinguishing between knowledge, belief, and opinion helps us engage with information more responsibly. TOK encourages us to question: What evidence supports this? Is this meant to persuade, express, or explain? And when does a belief become knowledge—or vice versa?
