Are there responsibilities that come with knowing something or knowing how to do something?
TOK Concepts
Values
When new knowledge is attained, responsibility definitely comes attached with it. The person themselves are responsible for using the power for good. What they perceive as "good" is up to their own values and morals. Therefore moral obligations and other factors to consider when applying knowledge is based on the person's values, and what they feel is right or wrong.
Power
The TOK concept of power is definitely rooted in the knowledge question. Whenever someone has knowledge of something, they attain power with the new knowledge. This power could be used in any way they want to apply the new knowledge, and could even allow them to assert power over others. Intertwined with this is also the concept of responsibility, as that is their duty to use this power for good.
Responsibility
Resposibility, like the other concepts, is very relative. It discussed the matter of what the person feels is responsible or irresponsible. If a person is reposonsible of some knowledge, it is up to them what that power of responsibility pertains to, and what they can and can't do.
