TOK-presentation: knowledge issue?

I'm doing my TOK-presentation in a few months and have begun planning. Right now I'm thinking of doing something about child abuse, but I am not sure how to get a knowledge issue out of it. Any suggestions? :confused:

Child abuse is a rather one-sided topic if you ask me, there's isn't a whole lot to argue about. Pick something you can actually have an argument over. For a practice TOK presentation, I did mine on the ethics of animal domestication, because on one hand dogs and humans can be happy together and on the other breeders misuse this popularity of dogs and resort to animal abuse in order to produce pups for the market. Got a 20/20 in that as well as in my final presentation :smile:

So, it's best to pick something a little more obscure. Most people would be against child abuse, choose something that would divide the opinion of your audience into two. Just my suggestion :smile:
