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.

Perspective

To me, perspective is like one side of a story where its facts are based on if you were there or not. Perspective is often truth mixed in with prejudices, opinions and misconceptions. Therefore, perspective is not often a good way to look at truth. Perspective is also mainly based on what the viewer wants to see because they know they can distort the facts so whatever they see becomes true to them.

Perspective

Perspective is the oppinion of individual interpretation. It shows us how different people see the same thing. It is therefore a part of human being. An every day example of this is music. For one person is techno the best music, but a different person completly disagree with this. That makes every person special.

Perspective

Perspective can be defined as a personal point of view. As it isn't something fix, and what I mean by that is that it can change, the influence of culture, time and even people are able to make it shift.
As for example, Luis Inacio never graduated, but today is the president of Brazil. For an american, which president graduated at Harvard, this may result in a different perspective than we Brazilians have about how the politics in Brazil are.

Define Perspective

What is perspective to you? How do you define it? What controls it or influences it? What, in your experience, is required to shift your perspective?

SE thesis

Fear, as any other feeling, is hard to define. If someone ask a ten years old kid what he is afraid of, he will give an example, but if he is asked about a definition, he won't be able to say. But all of the four books have something in commom when it's related to fear, it makes the reader able to define as "something that make someone be what he/she isn't, or make things he/she didn't want to."
