Don’t Believe Everything You Think: More humanity recognizes that we don’t know. Sometimes we think we have understood, someone, when really, we have just found a story we already know. Stories are built on an assumption about reality. I learned that I shouldn’t have a biased observer of my thoughts. If I had a biased observer, I should change my thoughts. For example, I can change its thought from but too interesting. I think that I would have many situations like that one. To change the thought is always not easy. For example, many people tend to judge persons from an appearance. Someone says the appearance is not everything, we should focus on the inside of them more than the appearance. It will be true. To judge the person

We are separate individuals. It is really belief. Even if everyone associates with, there is no person who believes. Actually, this chapter was a little hard for me to figure out because of the example we thought about in the class, like “who am I”, “why do things happen?” and so on. I guess that if I can separate something by myself, it will connect to be that I can control by myself, too. For instance, my best friend really likes flowers, but I’m not. Even if she tries to explain about the wonderfulness of flowers, I won’t like it because I separate that she is what she is and I am what I am. So, our goal is different. However, we are a best …show more content…
We have to explain what we sense in terms of imagination to create understanding. I learned that in education, imagination is more helpful than knowledge. However, I think that for creating the imagination needs to have a fundamental like a basic knowledge. If there is no it, the imagination will not work well. I’m from Japan and I had education in Japan, so actually, Japanese education tends to focus on the knowledge more than imagination. For example, we stuff lots of knowledge into our head before the entrance exam for high school and University. And also, to have high educational background tends to weigh with even if that person has a good imagination or not. I think that it is changing now, but there is some education focus on the knowledge than

    Adverse truths are often difficult to accept. Humans’ inquisitive minds are always striving to uncover truth. However, people have the tendency to believe only the positive truths. Truth is no longer universally accepted because people are extremely selective with the information they deem to be true. The unaccepting attitudes towards negative truths can be observed in “The Boston Photographs” by Nora Ephron and “The Allegory of the Cave” by Plato.…

    As the society swears, “We are one in all and all in one,” (19). What this shows is how the citizens all conform to one belief. They all have to think the same way, there can be no difference. Which is shown when Collective 0-0009 said, “What is not thought by all men cannot be true,” (73). If all people do not believe or think the same thing to them it does not exist.…

    “Never let anyone define who you are or decide who you should become” (Mbiaka). This quote by Edmond Mbiaka implies that no one can change a person for the better. It is who that person chooses to be, makes them unique. In our daily life, people put titles on others by the way they walk, dress, and communicate. This can be taught in a positive and negative way.…

    In today’s society, where social expectations are high and where our attitudes are affected by everything we do, it is easy to lose track of our self-concept or what we believe in. However there are many things that can influence our self concept and many things that impact what we believe in, your thoughts and your attitudes. First, a lot of things can impact the way we perceive ourselves or who we are. Self concept means the construction of oneself based on your beliefs and relations with others, which in turn can be affected by your culture, family and friends. For example, how often you socialize or who you socialize with can tell who you are as a person, whether you’re an introvert and you don’t like socialize as much or if you are an…

    How does one change misperceptions? This issue regarding false beliefs is analyzed by Maria Konnikova in her essay “I Don’t Want to Be Right”. In her piece, Konnikova evaluates various previous studies regarding the effort to change beliefs ̶ particularly false beliefs. Taking an untraditional approach on a fairly traditional topic, Konnikova argues that self-image is directly related to open mindedness as opposed to traditional, advertisement-based studies.…

    Life needs foundational assumptions and framework of guiding principles to provide thinking with a basic stability, shape and structure. Accordingly, worldviews are the single greatest influence on the way I interpret my experiences and respond to those experiences. This can be characterized by the fact that individuals who live in the same neighborhood with very similar experiences of the world around them can come to such radically different conclusion pertaining a given…

    In the Introduction to the course textbook, the author suggests that “Erikson’s life-cycle model seemed like a contemporary version of Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress.” The allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress is essentially a story about a spiritual journey through life, ending with eternity spent in the Celestial City, a.k.a. “Heaven.”…

    “Classifying people by color is very much like classifying cars by color. The classification tells you nothing about the hidden details of construction or about how the cars or people will perform.” (pg. 20) I really loved the metaphor the author used in the reading about judging others based upon their outward appearance. If one were to get to know a person, he or she should talk in order to see what’s on the inside.…

    All that glisters is not gold: Often have you heard that told. In the short story “Transients in Arcadia” by “O Henry”, it is demonstrated through character and tropology that appearances are often misused to decipher a person’s social standing and standards; therefore, being judgemental mostly costs a price of being unaware of the truth. Firstly, appearances are often deceptive and they let a person believe on a false perspective which is temporary, yet all the temporary things have to leave sooner or later. Sometimes they go away in a blink of the eye leaving behind the unmasked reality.…
