TOK HISTORY IN FILM CLUB APRIL INVICTUS and AMADEUS
For "Amadeus" we will discuss some Knowledge Questions that help introduce our Pre-IB students to TOK concepts.
We will read this article on the film and its historical accuracy from the BBC.
http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20150224-what-amadeus-gets-wrong
Tradition and the love of a good yarn have long cast Antonio Salieri as the murderer of Mozart and a musical hack. Erica Jeal explodes the myth
It's hard to say which view of Antonio Salieri is more firmly embedded: that he was the tormentor who drove Mozart to an early grave - perhaps even using a spot of arsenic just to make sure - or that he was a lousy composer. A few clunky numbers on the soundtrack of Amadeus, Milos Forman's 1984 film of Peter Shaffer's play, are all most of us will have heard of Salieri's music. Was there any more to him as a composer than that?

Dangerous Knowledge 1of2 - CANTOR - GOD - INFINITY
Cantor believed mathematics could lead us to understand God. He believed that God had revealed to him the importance of infinity in mathematics as a way to understand God. He was seeking the God of Creation, not Jesus on cross or the God of atonement and redemption. (Summary of BBC script)

Dr Michael Shermer | God does NOT exist
Watch Dr Shermer and then watch this counter-claim from someone who believes in God.
COUNTER CLAIM FROM SCIENTIST AND BELIEVER.
Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with his doctorate thesis being under the supervision of physics professor Robley D. Evans. This was followed by five years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and physics.

1941 The Fatal Attraction of Adolph Hitler part 1
What are the Knowledge Questions surrounding Adolf HItler?
Although, IB TOK Subject Reports advise teachers and students not to use Hitler as a 'go to example' for evil and horror, we cannot ignore him completely.
The dangers of a complete 'ban' on the Hitler topic is that false information can fill the vacuum.
David Irving and other holocaust deniers have large followings on the internet. IB teachers and students will find this documentary acknowledges Hitler's gifts as an organiser and leader but also his shameful record as a war criminal.
