12 - Kayla R. - The World Through a Different Lens

 

The World Through a Different Lens



There are countless perspectives that live within our society. Not one is the same from another, and each is equally important when it comes to the way our society plays out. 

Not every person acknowledges the importance of perspective. Many times people are caught up in their own perspectives, not even worried about their surroundings or the different things happening around them. 

To have perspective is a great power that not every person can acquire. Perspective offers a view of the world in a different lens. There are so many different perspectives to so many different circumstances, and each one is as equally important as another. Through different perspectives we are able to see the struggles many different people of our world face. Each person experiences their lives in different ways, and with this comes their different opinion on how they are treated within society.

To acknowledge the numerous perspectives that many of us will never understand is equivalent to educating yourself on the many different experiences people face. Every person views the world through their own perspective, and some of those perspectives are possibly very closed off, or open to new ones. With an open mind and acknowledgement of the various different perspectives of the world, we can force ourselves to be kinder, and wiser to our peers. Not one person experiences the same things or views things within the same perspective. But these differences cause no harm, and if anything, they provide opportunities to the open minded to reflect their own perspectives in comparison to the many others around them.

  1. Although we live in a society that carries the same expectations of what a good life looks like, all of our perspectives on what exactly makes that are different and I loved how you urged the fact that everyone looks at the world "in a different lens". You have a great perspective yourself on others' viewpoints and I felt it was delivered in such a sophisticated way.

  2. Well said. Perspective is absolutely important in our society because it allows us to try and understand others and their experiences. Although, I wouldn’t say that perspective is something that not every person can acquire. I think that if one truly cares and makes an effort, they can learn to see things from others’ perspectives
