Also, the floral arrangements will be displayed next to the original pieces to take the exhibition to a comparison of art works.

    Bloom argues that humanity’s excessive communication alters our perception of reality. He says that in an experiment conducted by Solomon Asch 75% of people would agree with the group’s claim, even if it was wrong (31).

Bloom says that humans spend 80% of their time communicating with each other, and not the outside world (30).…
