TOK Presentation Speaker Notes

When considering the ethical issues, we have to decide what is morally right or wrong, and if we make the decision that is morally wrong, it could affect our lives. When deciding when something is morally wrong, we may not always agree with it and it can make us feel anger and upset, which are arguably the two main emotions, that could influence us. When considering whether the issue is morally right, and that it could benefit, we will feel happy and like it is not really affecting our lives.
