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.

So is sole perspective dangerous? How so? What efforts have you made in your life to widen your perspective? What are other potential dangers of being uninformed?
