Chapter 4: perspective

The chapter starts off, much like most other chapters, with a quote. " "Gaze" is the act of seeing; it is an act of selective perception. Much of what we see is shaped by our experiences, and our "gaze" has a direct bearing on what we think. And what we see and think, to take the process one step further, has a bearing upon what we say and what and how we write." That is a direct quote from Paul Stoller, what he does or is famous for I've no clue, but he was worthy enough to make it into a book, so he must've done something right. The quote could not be more true, it is our experiences in life that shape and control how we perceive the world. For instance, I may look at a cow and see dinner, but someone else may look at it and see a God (see hindu). It's perspective that makes everything people unique, or at least a part. It is through perspective that the world remains ever-changing.
