In this pilot episode of the new series Alexey takes a TOK essay title and gives two examples in response to it. One of these examples is good, but the other one is bad. The “bad” example may look deceptively TOK-ish, but it is actually a first-order example that would not be appropriate for a TOK essay, and would result in a massive loss of marks. Your job is to tell the difference between the two, and to figure out which of the two examples is “good” and which one is “bad”. This may be harder than you think!

Alexey gives his answer at the end of the video, but formulate your own opinion before watching the answer.
