Understanding other people’s perspective is vital when it comes to making someone a more informed and a more sympathetic person. For example, in politics, there are two main sides; the democrats and the republicans. These two sides almost never see eye to eye, but when they see from the other’s point of view, an agreement can be made. In,” What of This Goldfish,Would You Wish?” by Etgar Keret, an accident occurs that could have been prevented if the two characters understood each other's diverse backgrounds. In lines 57-58, the text says, “ The KGB felt right at home knocking on his door.” This text shows that Sergei is still immensely struggling to find peace. Yoni has no idea of his past, and he knocks on Sergei's door and then he abruptly comes in. This startles Sergei because he had never experienced anyone barging into his house unless they had connections to the KGB. So, Sergei connects Yoni’s actions to the KGB, and that is why he killed him. There are two examples of the characters not understanding each other's point of view here. Yoni did not take into account that …show more content…
Le Guin. In line five, the narrator says,” There wasn’t any bad in him, not one mean bone.” This text reveals how the wife fees after she has killed her husband. After the husband changes from a wolf to a human, the wife never gets a complete understanding of the husband’s intentions. The wife automatically assumes that the husband wants to harm the kids; this is based off of her motherly instinct. Much like herself, the husband could have been trying to protect himself, but she never tried to work anything out, she instantly has him killed. After he was killed, she soon realizes that he was a good soul, and he would not have acted out of instinct as she had. If she had not immediately rushed into a reaction, maybe she would have realized
If I am not open to their perspective, then I will not be able to help them move past whatever their situation may be. By recognizing that everyone has a different worldview, it will allow me to be more open and understanding towards them.
In the beginning of the story, the wife is a mouse. She is doubtful about their relationship and worries that Bisclavret doesn’t love her. When she finds out that he is a werewolf, she becomes a tiger, betraying him and leaving him for someone else. She tries to figure out “how she might get rid of him” (101), so she goes for his weakness; she hides his clothes so that he may never be able to transform back into a human, and “Bisclavret is betrayed, ruined by his own wife” (125-126). This shows how “if love and proper relationship both be destroyed then husband and wife are divided”. The wife’s mistrust and betrayal of her husband causes their love for each other to falter, thus ruining their relationship. Bisclavret is subject to living in the woods on his own with the fear of being hunted or killed, and his wife is with some other man. They are divided, and eventually brought together again by fate, but at that point, Bisclavret has turned into a weak monstrosity. After a year of living in the woods, the king finds him and takes him in. He holds a court and his wife, as well as her new husband, are there and Bisclavret, seeking revenge, attacks her. He lunges at her and “tears the nose off her face” (235). All this time, he’s been kind
Seeing things in other people perspective is crucial to keep a serene relationship between people. For instance, failure to consider another person’s point of view is one of the main causes of prejudice in the world. Prejudiced people judge preconceive opinions that are not based on reason or actual experience. For example, a prejudiced person might look at a homeless person with disdain and say, “Get a job or get lost!” From the prejudiced persons point of view, the homeless person is unwilling to work, lazy, and
Fish Cheeks by Amy Tan, Tan uses embarrassment and awkwardness to connect to her readers.
His only ways out of his job slaughtering sheep are through unfaithfulness or by being an accessory to murder. Whether it’s the sheep, his wife or the white man, he doesn’t have the option to not hurt anyone. The scene takes place on the porch, such that both the walls and the two men close him in within the frame. Once again, the slight low angle and motion of the camera add a bit of a sinister air to the scene. But his wife’s entrance into the scene, lurking from behind the screen door, completely surrounded by blackness, feels heavy, and when she opens the door and hovers above him, placed even above the two other men, she reclaims him. His decision to not assist them with murder seems to be made final—or at least more clear—by her
1. Conflicting views improve one’s moral reasoning, critical thinking, and mental dexterity, but difficult to accept because of their context and one’s cognitive dissonance (Dalton, Week 5).
Comparing different works of art from one artist can help a person gain a better understanding of an artist and the purpose of their artwork. An artist’s works of art usually have similarities as well as differences when compared together. Sandy Skoglund is a photographer that stages entire rooms to create a scene for her photographs. Skoglund uses painting, sculpture, and photography to create her artwork. Due to the fact that most of her photographs are created in similar ways, almost all of her photographs have similar components represented throughout the photographs. Differences can be found in her artwork as well. Skoglund’s Revenge of The Goldfish, 1981 (Figure 1), is a popular work of art that is represented at the Akron Art Museum

If one considers the points of view of others, they can understand situations and others more effectively. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, there are characters who strive to walk in other people’s shoes. Atticus demonstrates his philosophy of life by thinking about situations from other people’s perspectives, which later influences Jem and Scout to do the same.
Imagine passing by a homeless man, holding up a sign saying homeless hunger, what do you do? you can do two things walk past it and ignore the man or give money. When you walk past the men then you need View A and View B. These views are the views of yours and the man, meaning that if you walk past the man you probably think “this is just one person, he can find a job and work rather than living in the street” that is View A. As you walk past the man he probably feels worthless, unwanted, not important etc. I feel like the person can only understand what the homeless man is going through if they experienced it themselves. You just say it’s just one person and he will survive, but what you don't realize is that, what if there are many more of these kind of people in a country who are suffering and dying. These people are at poverty and not a lot of people know about poverty because there is not a lot of awareness on it.
Perspectives are what give meaning to society and allow us to make assumptions about what we see and experience. With having various kinds of information to understand about our society and different aspects, some circumstances may better applied to different perspectives; giving the question being asked.
I learned, from the secret life of bees book about the importance of different perspectives. In English, we often use these in writings about an opinion or idea where you have to chose one side, and through different perspectives we have to explain and justify ourselves in essays. The perspective used in the secret life of bees was of a young girl experiencing abuse and witnessing racism going towards her loved ones. She learns not everyone feels the fairness towards all people that she feels, and not everyone is who you think they are. She thought of her mother as a brave woman who had a valuable reason for everything that
Perspectives are thoughts and points of views we all conceive. We as humans tend to create our own perspectives of countless things in life that can be considered right to have or can be considered wrong. Some are more prone to have open-minded perspectives, while others can be very close-minded. To live in a world in which diversity surrounds us I think it is important to understand what makes us all different by our beliefs, values, and goals. Considering the fact we are all unique and different, our culture has a great impact of who we all are. In order to learn the concept of cultural diversity of this world is so grand and extremely important; it allows us to not only see how people do things different from our own norm, but also gives us an outlook on cultures we might know little to none about. Ignorance is bliss, yet can hinder one’s ability to really understand different religions that are tied into the cultures of people.
Although we may not all see eye to eye, we all still have our own worldview. The central idea of a worldview is to be the different beliefs that is an understanding of how we see the world around us. It will be understood by how a person feels about different emotions and ideas that are encountered on a daily basis. A worldview is a response of our heart or inner being: our intellect, emotion and will. (Weider, Gutierrez,59) We create our own personal worldview based on things we believe are true and norms to society. A worldview perspective shapes, influences, and generally directs a person's entire life. (Samples 2007)
... understand the other side’s point of view. All parties are able to identify areas of agreement and disagreement, creatively explore and evaluate alternatives, and select solutions to which they are all committed. Though collaborating is the only win-win approach preferred to resolving conflicts in many situations, there is time and place for the other styles as they may better meet the needs of the situation.
