1) Do a stat analysis of IB program (main page) - what can a mathematical study of the IB program help to shine light on or what does this mathematical study fail to capture about the program.
1b) Can/should do the SCHS SAC annual student survey AND look at annual survey results tab and do a stat analysis of SCHS and see what you learn
2) Examine http://www.gapminder.org/ or more specifically http://tools.google.com/gapminder (and play with the X and Y axis and which countries you want to explore -- what causal links seem strongest/correlate or are totally unrelated though you expected them to correlate?) (play with linear/log scale too)
May also want to see some of their strongest data correlations in the PDF world charts (http://www.gapminder.org/downloads/handouts/)

PODCAST 1; BIRMINGHAM
How do we know artifacts are interpreted correctly by historians and how do we decide which interpretations to believe?
Does the agglomeration of ideals that forms a conclusion universally accepted advance human moral progression?
How can the use of historical artifacts without any context be used in an educational environment effectively?
How does knowledge of an event change as it circulated from its place of origin to the rest of the world?
Who should decide how to interpret and reconstruct public historical art?
Should "proof", such as photographs, that depict to be one-sided be used in our education/the acquirement of knowledge of historical events? Does the way our education system portrays historical events alter the acquisition of knowledge?
How can we gain knowledge from evidence that has no context
How important is it to celebrate accomplishments over wrongdoings?
How accurate is history in the sense of an image? (Can history be effectively known through image alone?)
By what methods should one go about correcting a false (historical) narrative/theory?
Will history always be perceived in a way that expresses the opinion of the majority and not how it actually occurred? Can history only be correctly interpreted with the passage of time?
Can the presentation of certain knowledge alter the reality/truthfulness of it?
Can a misunderstood message be utilized as a reliable source of knowledge?
How can we guarantee that the reconstruction of events are accurate?
What is the importance of primary source material (photos) when trying to gain knowledge?
Do moral values impact how history is interpreted?
To what extent do individual misrepresentations of knowledge affect the process of the pursuit of justice and equality in society as a whole?
How does the mode of representation affect our understanding of it's purpose?
Is context necessary to gain a full understanding (of any knowledge claim)? OR To what extent are we able to make claims about human behavior with a limited understanding of the circumstances?
Can a physical artifact/interpretation of a historical event ever grasp the same emotions and feelings to the subjects that actually experienced it?
How can we know something is truthful even though it is not proven beyond a reasonable doubt?
Should history constitute what we value or should it be allowed to support what we want?
Does location affect how information is spread? Do people perceive materialistic objects differently?
Statues often don't reveal the whole story and can be misleading… Are statues comprehensive enough to represent a complicated and controversial topic? Is it harmful to society for statues to have multiple interpretations?
What are (or how can we know/quantify) the long-terms effects of exclusion on an individual?
COMMENTS:
This video is important because it shows how the perception of photographs and other artifacts can be "swayed" one way by historians or journalists when what actually happened was totally different. The photographs and artifacts can be propagated to reflect a particular "side" of a movement even if it has no significance to the event and was just pure "happenstance". It's important for the public to listen to this and understand that propaganda, even if it aligns with their beliefs, should not be taken lightly and they should make sure to get the full story before blindly trusting the common interpretation.
The implication of knowledge presented in this video is mainly that "things aren't always what they seem"; empirical documentation of an event (photograph, etc.) does not necessarily present the truth or context behind what happened, but people have acquired potentially inaccurate knowledge from the situation. This video matters primarily because it describes an interesting social phenomenon about knowledge and perception, and how events can be manipulated. This would definitely matter to historians and activists/organizers who want to preserve the credibility of their movement. Nonetheless, I wonder to what extent misinformation like the kind presented in the video, affects or detracts from the civil rights movement as a whole. I would sure hope that the event present in this video isn't used or weaponized to argue that the civil rights movement is invalid or to prove some point about the nonexistence of oppression/police violence at the time. I don't think the argument about a "few bad apples" does much to combat actual marginalization.
Why do things have to get to the absolute worst state in order for people to understand the need for change?
Remember the quote: “All art is propaganda”

PODCAST 2; ONATE FOOT
To what extent do political and social constructs disable mankind to accurately detail history?
Should certain parts of knowledge be ignored if they are unsavory?
To what extent do discriminatory views result from historical ignorance?
Can art be a force of inspiration and protest?
Why Is a important figure needed to represent an area? Must a knowledge community simplify its history by creating hero figures who may not deserve that title?
By what methods can bias be minimized in the study of historical claims?
How is the way history is written/remembered determined and by what group? (Is history written by the victors?)
Why do people find memorials so compelling when there are other issues with more immediate and dramatic effects [Do created artifacts of history have the right/ability to exceed written historical narratives in our perception of historical truth?]
Is it justified to praise those who oppressed our ancestors? (Can life be determined by a single act?)
How can a community shape the production of an image of history?
Is it possible to learn history knowledge without crossing paths with bias? Does the sheep herd tactic apply with cultural knowledge?
When history affects people in the present day, how can interpretation of historical records be carried out to be fair for everyone involved? How can records be kept in the present day to prevent future misinterpretations that lead to unfair situations?
Can historical figures be demoralized (reinterpretated) by newfound evidence?
Is cultural (constructed) identity more profound than past identity?
Can the inclusion of different perspectives effectively produce an equal representation of historical events?
Who should decide how history is portrayed?
COMMENTS:
This is slightly an informative piece explaining the controversy of the situation of Onate. People are conflicted of his treatment towards natives and it was served to reveal that truth despite the constant celebration of him. He is presented better than then what he did, and what he did was terrible. With him saying "cutting the foots off the males over 25", it is a gruesome moment to the point he got expelled from his own country and the colony he founded.
There is a lot of conflict between the natives, the government, and the people who want him in still. But the purpose of a monument is the celebrate accomplishments, and he is already over glorified. By having Onate in the monument, it would basically practically erase the natives on the land because of his "founded" this land. Especially of the poor treatment he gave them, the war over the 13 men he lost doesn't compare to hundreds of lives lost.
It's supposed to symbolize a sense of unity that doesn't really exist.
He is presented as a "hero" but he really wasn't and it is improve to realize that history isn't what it presents itself as. The public needs to be educated the wrongdoings that he did, and which not of lot of people was aware until this situation became very public. Naranjo-Morse's abstract art piece, symbolizes a lot more but is the underrated part of the collaboration/statue.
The video presents how one-sided history taught in history books is, and how bias and untrue most of it is. It is unfair and insulting to the native ancestry and culture to not be given the truth of their past family.
I think it should matter to everyone because knowing their roots are somewhat of who they are and how they live their life.
From one perspective, Onate was an important founding father and his accomplishments are celebrated. From the other perspective, he was a violent conquistador who killed thousands, including children. The varying views of Onate come from one side focusing on his successes and disregarding his crimes. Everyone seems to have the same information, but due to different backgrounds and things such as the desire for a historical identity, the information is being interpreted completely differently. The ideas and conflict brought up in this podcast are important for deciding which historical figures deserve to be honored and celebrated, and who gets to decide. In in this case, those who were wronged by Onate seem to have the weakest voice in the discussion. Who is supposed to help with this issue, and how?
To what extent do political and social constructs disable mankind to accurately detail history?
Should certain parts of knowledge be ignored if they are unsavory?
To what extent do discriminatory views result from historical ignorance?
Can art be a force of inspiration and protest?
Why Is a important figure needed to represent an area? Must a knowledge community simplify its history by creating hero figures who may not deserve that title?
By what methods can bias be minimized in the study of historical claims?
How is the way history is written/remembered determined and by what group? (Is history written by the victors?)
Why do people find memorials so compelling when there are other issues with more immediate and dramatic effects [Do created artifacts of history have the right/ability to exceed written historical narratives in our perception of historical truth?]
Is it justified to praise those who oppressed our ancestors? (Can life be determined by a single act?)
How can a community shape the production of an image of history?
Is it possible to learn history knowledge without crossing paths with bias? Does the sheep herd tactic apply with cultural knowledge?
When history affects people in the present day, how can interpretation of historical records be carried out to be fair for everyone involved? How can records be kept in the present day to prevent future misinterpretations that lead to unfair situations?
Can historical figures be demoralized (reinterpretated) by newfound evidence?
Is cultural (constructed) identity more profound than past identity?
Can the inclusion of different perspectives effectively produce an equal representation of historical events?
Who should decide how history is portrayed?
COMMENTS:
This is slightly an informative piece explaining the controversy of the situation of Onate. People are conflicted of his treatment towards natives and it was served to reveal that truth despite the constant celebration of him. He is presented better than then what he did, and what he did was terrible. With him saying "cutting the foots off the males over 25", it is a gruesome moment to the point he got expelled from his own country and the colony he founded.
There is a lot of conflict between the natives, the government, and the people who want him in still. But the purpose of a monument is the celebrate accomplishments, and he is already over glorified. By having Onate in the monument, it would basically practically erase the natives on the land because of his "founded" this land.

see below survey results/links for additional questions to integrate in your responses
PART I (Pick 1 or do a hybrid response): TOK and YOU! (or IB and You or Knowledge and You)
[INWARD AND BACKWARD]
1) Who do you think you are? & How do you know it?
Possible related questions: What do I know (now)? How do I know it? How do I know it’s true?
2) What do you “KNOW” now that you didn’t know at the start of T.O.K. / senior year (more generally). [How has your relationship to “knowing” or your views on intelligence (or what it means to be an adult or someone who lives the “fully examined life”) evolved either in the last year or through the IB experience (or consider your work experience, extracurriculars)] What was high school or the value/signif/meaning of your 13 years of schooling? What was TOK? What was IB? Quantifiably and non-quantifiably was IB worth it? What do you do with what the IB program (your 12 year public schooling) has given you? Do you have to live the “fully examined life”? Does IB allow for a true meritocracy OR a break in the existing class structure (or are we only teaching rich parents kids who will only later become rich too)?
3) Explain an epiphany you have had at one point (and consider how that epiphany fit/overlapped certain TOK AOKs or WOKs). Was this epiphany purely academic/theoretical or could it be used to either make a lot of money OR positively change the world? Was the TOK diagram right to place you (as a “knower” with an individual subjective experience) at the center of its diagram? What role do you think TOK will play in future college courses/your career/life? In reflection, what was a childhood in Daytona Beach? What experiences with rites of passages have you had? What personal or community function did they achieve? Do we need to increase the social significance of the rites of passage we have or have rites of passage always been/should always be a personal matter or specific to your religion/culture/family?
PART II (Pick 1 or do a hybrid response): YOU and YOUR FUTURE [OUTWARD AND FORWARD]A) Alvin Toffler points out that “The illiterate of the twenty-first century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” To what extent do you agree/disagree or in what ways does this idea apply to the TOK class / TOK experience. To what extent will your relationship to/with knowledge change over the 21st century? Why are you going to a university? What do you mostly hope to achieve (quantifiable or not) from college?
B) To what extent to do believe that schools give students the skills to be employees, but not the employers. To what extent can this possible problem be addressed/improved? What future to the education system do you wish for and what do you actually anticipate to be the future of education (university level or before)
C) “Your parents will be wrong. Your schools will be wrong. If you look for the answers yourself, you will find that you can do better.” - Paul MacCready (aeronautics engineer). Must you redesign the world that previous generations have broken (environmentally, financially, population explosion, etc) or should you have more humble goals of living as sustainably as possible independent of what everyone else does (the idea that you can’t change the world but you can change the world inside yourself OR do you embrace or reject the American capitalist ethos of consumption, excess, efficiency achieved through scale (and what paradigm might you like to see replace that)). Are you optimistic, overwhelmed or other about the world you find at your doorstep at graduation? How optimistic/pessimistic are you about your future? What are your attitudes on the declining value of the undergraduate degree? What about university level grade inflation?
D) Describe the world (financial, moral, political, environmental, or overall quality of life) you anticipate as an adult and how you want to/will fit into that world. Does your life actually have to serve a social good or push civilization forward? Do you feel your life has to serve other people or can it positively serve a corporation? Can an individual make big $ ethically in the 21st century? Examples? Should you/everyone be able to follow their passion or should you be willing to sacrifice to do a job that needs to be done (science, engineering, plumber)? Should your priorities be yourself before your professional life? Should you feel any moral guilt for living better than 95% of the world?
Do you have a moral responsibility to the less fortunate (either in your community or in the developing world? What are the responsibilities of an educated citizen? In theory or in practice: Is it better to throw stones at the building/system from the outside (rage against the machine) OR get inside the building and work to create change from within (come up with scenarios/case studies you apply your position to)
Which would be worse: to lose connection to yourself (concussions, no long term memory, permanent loss of consciousness) OR to have connection with your true self and have no ability to outwardly express it (stroke, tourette’s, Lou Gehrig (ALS), autism somewhat)?
E) What do you feel to be the biggest challenge your generation will face in regards to making headway in the world? How does this compare to previous generations? Do you agree that your generation has an unjust sense of entitlement? Will you have a higher quality of life or economic standard of life than your parents’ generation?
F) What are the top 3 things (or unquantifiable attributes) you need to have a good life? Can an individual make big $ ethically in the 21st century? Should you feel moral guilt for living better than 95+% of the world? Does your life actually have to serve a global good or push civilization forward or lift mankind up?
What sort of relationship do you want to have with your material possessions? Will you be a lifelong learner?
Can you hold stock in Exxon/Mobil and not have ethical responsibility for their behavior? Does Globalization require a loss of cultural identity (homogeneity)? What cultural history is OK to sacrifice in the name of modern progress? How do cultures best come to terms with trauma/genocide/horrible chapters in their history?
