Perspective may hinder/ influence interpretations of certain situations as the way we think change how we interpret a situation. One's experience may also influence their perspectives on a certain situation. For example: A person who has been in a car crash before, if they see a car standing on the side of a road, they may assume that the car has crashed, however the driver may just be taking rest. Different people may have different perspectives and may differ in opinion or interpretation on a single scenario. Cognitive Biases, Emotional State, Cultural perspectives, all of lead to different interpretations by different people. Look at the picture above. What do you see? Two people talking? Or a man with a hat. Or something else? A lot of different things like age or generational perspective may lead to different interpretations. Our social environment, including family, friends, and the broader community, can influence our interpretations of various issues. Social pressure and conformity can shape our beliefs and behaviors, often aligning them with those of our social group. Personal Experience: Our interpretations can be greatly influenced by our unique experiences, including our accomplishments, incidents, failures, and victories. These encounters give us a distinct perspective on the world and may cause prejudices and emotional reactions. So, perspectives may have a huge role in influencing our interpretations.

Perspective can cause cognitive biases which basically means simplifying information processing through a filter of personal experience and preferences. This can cause us to see what we expect to see and what confirms our pre-existing beliefs. Our perspective may also change based on our a specific set of information is provided. This is known as anchoring bias. For example, if we were to see a shirt that costs 1000 taka first. Afterwards, if we see a second one that costs 500 taka, we are prone to see the second shirt as cheap.

Our cultural and social backgrounds play a crucial role in shaping our perspectives. Different cultures and societies have unique worldviews, norms, and values, which can lead to diverse interpretations of the same events or information. For example, what may be considered polite in one culture could be seen as rude in another

perspective refers to how one views things through their own eyes. it is a product and reflection of both the nature and nurture of the person. perspectives vary from individual to individual, so how people interpret different things also varies. while some people may interpret a person's tone in a supportive way as they have experienced positive feedback most of their life and hence have a positive perspective on most things, while others may interpret the tone as condescending, having dealt with reprimands for most of their life. i have personally witnessed this phenomena when i was reading 'the animal farm' by george orwell with my friends a few years back. i had always understood that political propaganda was rampant during the making of this book, and george orwell was commenting on how the government of russia under joe stalin kept the working class oppressed. however, my friend thought that the book was a commentary on how both sides of a political situation have their own stories, and that the working class often drove the government to imposing dire consequences, not of their own accord. this was due to our different perspectives and hence different interpretations.

Perspective is one of the knowledge frameworks. An in-depth analysis of real-life situations and global issues requires a comprehensive examination of various factors and perspectives from different disciplines. Perspectives make everyone wear different shades of glasses that makes people view the world differently. hence, our personal experiences, beliefs, emotions, and cultural background act as these coloured glasses, shaping how we interpret information and events. For example- Imagine a car accident occurs at an intersection involving two drivers. Driver 1 believes they had the right of way and that the other driver ran a red light, causing the accident. Their perspective is influenced by their memory of the event, and they interpret the situation as the other driver's fault. Driver 2, on the other hand, thinks their traffic light was green and that Driver A was speeding, leading to the collision. Their interpretation is based on their perception of the events, emphasizing the other driver's recklessness. An eyewitness at the scene might have a different perspective. They could have seen the accident from a different angle and may provide a description that supports or contradicts the accounts of both drivers. Their interpretation is based on what they directly observed.

Our perspectives can cause us to interpret certain situations differently/ Our perspectives are said to be "the lens we view the world through" can be influenced by multiple factors, such as personal background and beliefs.For example, the color blue can invoke a sense of peace and calmness, as it may remind someone of the good times they may have spent by a beach, while to someone else the color blue can invoke a sense of depression and sadness, as it may remind someone of a tragic accident relating to "seas" (https://www.hunterlab.com/blog/the-color-blue/#:~:text=The%20Meaning%20of%20the%20Color,also%20the%20color%20of%20creativity.).

Our perspectives impact our opinions, ideas, beliefs, views and understanding of our surroundings, people, places and much more. For example, Cleopatra was a prominent figure in Ancient Rome. Back at that time, some people were threatened by her and felt that it wasn't right to have an Egyptian queen in Rome. Others admired her charisma and intelligence. While the Greek elite initially disfavored her, she was considered divine by native Egyptians.

Our perspectives play a significant role in shaping how we interpret events, and they can affect our understanding of historical occurrences, news stories, and everyday situations.

1. World War II (1939-1945):

- Perspective: A U.S. Perspective vs. a Japanese Perspective

- Interpretation: The U.S. often emphasizes its role in ending the war by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, highlighting the bombings as necessary to save lives.

- Japanese Perspective: Japanese accounts may focus on the immense suffering and loss of life among civilians in the bombings, emphasizing the tragic consequences of the war.

2. Protests in Hong Kong (2019):

- Perspective: Chinese Government vs. Pro-Democracy Activists

- Interpretation: The Chinese government viewed the protests as a challenge to national sovereignty, emphasizing the need for law and order. Pro-democracy activists saw it as a struggle for basic rights and freedoms.

Citation: "Hong Kong Protests: China Reacts to 'Rioters' With a Warning" - The New York Times, July 30, 2019 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/30/world/asia/hong-kong-protests-china.html)

In each of these examples, individuals with different perspectives interpret the same events in distinct ways, influenced by their background, beliefs, and interests. This demonstrates how our perspectives can shape our understanding of the world around us.

Interpretations are brought upon via the "innward eye" which is a part of our subconscious that gathers info from more than just the mere "six senses." Perspectives are then formed from these abstract stimuli. For instance, the artist Odilon Redon, known for his surrealist artwork, has made a sketch titled "the cactus man" yet some of us instinctively know, by gazing at the image, that the man is melancholic and also vulnerable and quick to "sting" (anger), like a cactus.

Our interpretations and comprehension of the universe are greatly influenced by our views. Let's look at an example from Harper Lee's work "To Kill a Mockingbird" to show how viewpoints affect interpretations. Atticus Finch, one of the main characters in "To Kill a Mockingbird," is a representation of morality and justice. However, depending on their viewpoints and experiences, readers' conceptions of Atticus can differ significantly. People may approach the character from perspectives that are moral, legal, or even racial, among others, which could drastically alter how one interprets the character's actions.
