Bren E Brown: Video Analysis

The speaker of the video Beau Lotto: Optical illusions show how we see uses a more optical approach to grasp the audience’s attention. At the beginning of the video he show’s colored dots to the audience and asks them to find the matching color on each board that have a different color background. Lotto gives us a question to ponder about, “why is context everything?” He goes on showing a visual in black and white and how often times without color we may not be able to interpret the image until the color is added. The speaker states that it’s not what we see that is reality, but the way or processing information with the visual aspect is how we see reality.

Perception is a crucially important way for most of the organisms to observe and react to the environment. Its definition in Oxford Dictionary of English is “the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses” (“Perception”). However, for human, the most intelligent organism on earth, perception has an another meaning: “The way in which something is regard, understood, or interpreted” (“Perception”). People can not only be aware of the environment through senses, but also gain new knowledge by interpreting the observation.

"Perception is not determined simply by stimulus patterns. Rather, it is a dynamic searching for the best interpretation of the available data..... which involves going beyond

The first thing that I learned about perception was earlier discovered by a psychologist by the name of Max Wertheimer. He discovered that our body clearly separates images into figures

If you were to hear the word perception for the first time what would you think it means? Perhaps the way one views the world? David Foster Wallace and Annie Dillard both use Perception in their essays. Dillard uses perception by breaking free from her natural ways of perceiving nature. Wallace uses perception when he speaks on his views of society.

We often perceive sight as our immediate and best tool for understanding the world around us, when in fact, it is not. There are other methods of understanding that go beyond our senses, methods that most people are unable to comprehend. In his short story “Cathedral”, Raymond Carver uses point of view to suggest that there are ways to perceive and understand something beyond just seeing it. In fact, Carver suggests not only that sight is only the most basic level of understanding, but also that true understanding comes from a feeling that is not one of any our five senses.

Our study of the distinctively visual deepens our understanding of the world and those who inhabit it.

Perception checking is a good tool to help me understand others accurately instead of jumping to conclusions or assuming that your first interpretation is the correct one. For example, my cousin and I are very close and we always talk on the phone for hours. When I have not heard from her in the few I thought she was mad at me or maybe she does not want to talk to me anymore. So then thought about it and I decided to call her, but when I called her phone was no longer in service. That is when I realize I was wrong for assuming my cousin was mad at me, instead of assuming I should have try another way to get in contact with

Perception: a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.

Human perception is a process of sensing the world by the human brain. This process is firmly influenced by a person’s first culture, which means people interpret the meaning of other’s behavior based on their cultural backgrounds and personal experiences. Racial

Sense perception is one way that allows us to interact and communicate with each other and the world. This is our primary way of knowing because our senses live experiences that we go through. Based on our senses we are to make interpretations of the world. For example, in class, each pair was given a box. Inside the box, there was one metal ball, but you had to figure out the structure or the form of a maze inside the box. We couldn't see inside the box, and we couldn’t touch the inside of the box. By using our sense of hearing and another way of knowing, imagination, we were able to make an educated guess of what the inside structure of the box looked like.

Perception is the way in which we view reality, ourselves, others and the world around us. The reality is the real state of things. In fact, it is how things are, whether we perceive them to be or not. Perceptions are based on experience and then experience leads to belief. Most feel their beliefs are true, however, all they have is their perception. Perception comes from how they choose to describe their experiences, or how they have been taught to understand them. Truth does not always come from experience; it comes from facts and

In this video, Brene Brown explained to me to what is hope and how can we become success from being failure again and again. She said that hope has three piece ,which are goal, pathway, and agency. Also, she explained that failure and practicing can help people to do better or learn. If I want to be master or familiar with calculus student, I should do what Brown told me to do. First, I have to set up a goal, which is getting an “A” on the next exam or the total grade. Then, I have to set up a way or plan about how I can improve my grade or be more familiar with calculus, I should practice more. In addition, I have to have a feeling or thought about believe myself that I can do it and I am able to solve those problems. Even though, I may get

Brené Brown’s contribution in social work is remarkable because of her incessant research on an area that has been and continues to be taboo for educators and practitioner; the

What stood up to me in the video was how really internet is a tool that connects us all physically, as the journalist Andrew Blum reported on Ted, and personally witnessed the process of installing fiber-optic cable under the sea in Africa. First, the cable was inside floating buoys, then someone cut them and the cable dropped under the sea. Engineers then connected the cable to other cable in another place, under the ground, and forget about
