    This article talks about whether language is needed to form thoughts. This article discusses that collection of images can used to describe something rather than use of words. In the article, the author discusses how people might think about dogs using memory of images of dogs. The article also brings up that is necessary to define language. The author brings up the point that sign language communicates thoughts without words; therefore, thoughts can communicated without language depending on your definition.

    This article has to do with TOK because police officers decided with previous knowledge about these two girls that they could possibly bully and cause this again to another girl. There are many WOK questions that can be developed from this article. Such as what ways of knowledge does the police officers use to arrest these two girls. I think it's partly intuition and sense perception. I think there are many more TOK related questions that can be developed from this article.

    This article is about the reliability of human intuition and the value of our subconscious decisions vs. logical thinking. This article interestingly brings up the gender gap in intuition and how mothers with there nurturing sense are more drawn to intuition. This article discusses the pros of thin slicing but also the cons of too heavily relying on human intuition.

    How a belief in "pure evil" shapes people's thinking Justice Antonin Scalia and Keyser Soze agree: the greatest trick the devil could ever pull is convincing the world he didn't exist. Fortunately for them, the devil does not seem to be effectively executing this plan.
