In chapter 25 of Sophies World, it mentioned 'Red tinted glasses'. A red tinted glasses is simple just a red tinted glasses. However, when viewed metaphoricly it shows how we view the world, and when Sophie was asked to put on the red tinted glasses, everything was red, through the media, experience and beliefs we expect the world to be the way it is shown, which makes me wonder, is the world really like how we see it?
Everyone is born with a pair of eyes, no matter what color eyes, we see the same things but everyone has there own perspective of the world. For example Mao Ze Dong's perspective of the world was to teach intellegent people how it is to work hard on the fields and make everyone even. but for America, they believed in freedom of speech.
To conclude, the world might not be the way we all see it. Everyone has a different perspective of the world.

i agree that everyone is born with a pair of eyes. i like your idea about the red tinted glasses with freedom of speech and thought.
I like the freedom of speech bit. But how would the world be like in your perspective if you ever got the chance to put the red-tinted glasses on? Would you be a rationalist or an expiricist?
Yay, last ever assignment 2 comment. Byebye.

But Owen, how do you think we gain these different perspectives of life. Is it the environment we live in, education or something else?
if the world is not how we really view it then how do you think the world is really viewed like?
