Identifying a KQ from real life situation:

RLS: A survey that has been taken in the US shows the 51% of the Americans do not support an attack on Syria due to its use of chemical weapons.

KQ: To what degree of certainty do our emotions affect our ability to decide what is good and bad?

  1. Your RLS is a good starting point. How did you come to use 'emotion' as a way of knowing from this?
    Your KQ is good but would work better if you replaced 'to what degree of certainty' with 'to what extent'.

    1. So I was first thinking about how and why most Americans do not want to initiate an attack on syria and I have concluded that it will cause a bad affect on the US, therefore most Americans see the attack as a 'BAD' thing. So I assumed that their personal emotions towards the safety of their relatives affect their judgment on whats 'GOOD' and 'Bad' and thats how i came up with that KQ.

  2. Very good RLS, however I think it would have been a lot better if you used 'reason' as a way of knowing in your KQ rather than 'emotion'.
    Perhaps also instead of a vague 'good and bad', a more specific 'wrong or right' [= well done though!
