A Study in Perceptions

As this video illustrates, our perception of reality is often colored by preconceptions and prejudices.  It is important to recognize that our contexts shape our experiences of and in the world.  This, in turn, informs our assumptions and leads to conclusions that may be wrong. The challenge is for us to find ways to approach new experiences and information from a stance of openness. Consider how our interactions would change if we engaged others with an appreciation for the differences our contexts create.
