perspective is not important because
events that took place in the past
(facts) cannot be changed depending
on different perspectives
- In Mathematics (personal
experience) perspective is not
essential either as everyone
perceives the calculations in
the same way regardless of
their different ways of thinking.
However, there can be
different methods of solving
problems and different people
find different methods easier.
- Example: Euler's formula
- Arguements
- In the arts, for instance in
poetry (literature) , each
person perceives the poem
in a different way. Example:
English (literature)
- Use modern art to show how
people of different ages
