Perspective is based upon the environment one is brought up in. Perspective is based on many different factors. If someone is blind from the day they are born, then they would have a completely different understanding of reality then someone with 20/20 vision. Another factor, is the home someone is brought up in, a christian run household is different then a muslim run household. They beliefs in the two households are different, the food, the culture, and the holidays. These are all elements of different perspective that influence the understanding of reality.

theas post # 3 perspective

Perspective to me is each persons opinionated view on a subject. Its defined as a personal view. Most perspective varies from person to person , because its their own personal take the subject. There are many things that could contribute to perspective. One being brought up in a different situation. For example poverty, being brought up in a more wealthy manor may cause a person to be more "blind sighted" towards people struggling with money issues. Situations where i hear a certain story can change my perspective on the subject after hearing it from another person. Other situations could involve more experience on the subject, therefore altering your opinion.

Cody's Post

perspective in my opinion is the way in which the reader depicts the aspects of the story, these aspects can be the characters, the setting, the events and everything else that contributes to the overall storyline. I believe that every author has a picture in their head while they write their novels and stories, but those pictures are in "their" heads, not the readers. everyone has different reactions to what they read and different thoughts about what they read. these thoughts and reactions create a picture in their heads of the setting, the characters and everything else in the story. this is all personal and nobody can change that picture because no matter how much you describe it to them, they can never see the exact same thing as u. i also believe that perspective can be a complete mental and emotional thing beyond the minds image. many things that happen in a book or story spark up memories and feelings that people wouldn't normally have. I believe that this is all caused by the persons past and how they felt what the characters are feeling or at least something similar in a way that they can relate to that character and it can humanize that character and make the reader get to know them better and feel like they are a real person.

i apologize for this not being on the blog, but when i was on the page there was no "new post" button and it wouldn't let me do anything, so i will try to figure it out, and i hope this will suffice until i get that sorted out

perspective like ones opinion cant be wrong or viewed exactly like one individual does. in other words perspective is some thing that cannot be forced upon ones neighbor much like an opinion or ever a religion. perspective is what my divide us as people or bring a group together. perspective is what make it so that not every one wants that new BMW but instead the run down v w bug. in short the beauty or perspective is truly in the eye of the individual beholder.

Perspective

To me perspective is some ones point of view. Your perspective is based on everything that you have experienced in life. But perspective is not set in stone. It's constantly changing because we are experiencing new things. Usually perspective is a limitation because it is hard for us to see anothers view point or idea because we are so set in our certain perspective. This makes anyone elses perspective challenging to understand because they will obviously view things different then you just like people view colors differently.

Perspective

A definition of perspective could be how one or more people view a person, subject. Whatever the subject. Every person has a view on how something is the way it is, and this view is influenced greatly by perspective. There are two sided to every story. Usually a person is given only one side of the story so they make assumptions to who was right or wrong. They don't care if they made the right choice, because they were only given one side. Each side of a story thinks it is right. Only when given all sides of the story can a person make a educated decision on what they think is right or wrong. Perspective is very important and without it being properly given the wrong assumptions of something can go very wrong. My uncle, because he was in Vietnam, hates and Vietnamese people with a passion. The military trained him to be this way by telling them only what they wanted him to hear. The same may be for a Vietnamese person hating Americans. Because of the differences in perspective hate has grown out of it and a uneducated person could make a horrible decision depending on that ones perspective.

Perspective

Perspective to me is the point of view in which a story is told. If I were to define it I would say the same thing. How it is controlled or influenced can be from a wide range of things, such as how much the author knows about something, or how the author feels about something. So I would argue that it is the author who influences and controls it. Shifting a perspective of someone is very different from changing perspective in a story. For a story, it is simple, the author merely writes from a new point of view. But shifting the perspective of an individual requires much more. Doing this takes things like a well presented argument, possibly facts, and most importantly something that the individual can relate to.

The definition of perspective

Perspective is the sum of all of our past experiences, abilities, and what ever knowledge that has been learned by us as individuals. Perspective acts as a thick lens over our senses that affects our view of the universe. We are often not aware that we are even wearing these perspectives but every one is affected by it and no two are the same. Since it is the sum total of all of our past experiences it is changing constantly but dramatic changes are often the most notable. Like when my parents got divorced my perspective and I lost it’s sense of invulnerability to the world

Perspective

I believe that perspective in the literal sense is the method of observation, in any sensual way, to view an object, person, or event at a given location or angle. For example, a photograph is limited to the sense of sight, and the frame of reference (location, angle, subject) of the camera. These limitations are the perspective of the photo. Figuratively, perspective can be the interpretation of that observation, or in other words, an opinion. Just as two cameras cannot be in the same frame of reference at one given point in time, therefore cannot have the same perspective, people are also observing the same things in a completely different frame of reference, and thus have different figurative perspectives. To change perspective, usually one must change the frame of reference; for the camera, it can be moved, and the person can try to observe through others' experiences.

Perspective to me is the way in which someone views things, usually an opinion of sorts. It is commonly formed by the experiences they face in life and the consequences one faces during them. For me, the main thing that makes me change my perspective is a well thought out argument. Something that sounds like the subject is cared about. Make me change my mind by giving me a reason to.

For me, perspective is one angle of an entire view. The more knowledge or experience that is acquired should not shift a person from one side or another of that view. I believe that gaining knowledge or experience should only expand one's perception of a situation or life and help them make decisions and opinions more objectively. I find that many people take new knowledge and experience, rearrange their thoughts on a subject, and completely ignore the perspective that they had before. This narrows their perspective rather than broadening it. It's important to remember that, even if you are inclined to one perspective over another, the other does have its own weight and validity that others may value more than your own.
