Optics In The Tuxedo

We need to adapt the way we communicate with people to different situations or environments. If attending a meeting, whether it’s a staff meeting, meeting with other professionals or dealing with a parent we need to be more formal and conduct ourselves in a professional manner. The way we dress can completely send out the wrong impression if you are having a formal meeting. Dressing smartly creates an impression that you will act appropriately and professionally and any input you have will be respected.

The opening statement of the article Looks can deceive: Why Perception and Reality Don't Always Match Up by Christof Koch reads as follows; “When you are facing a tricky task, your view of the world may not be as accurate as you think” (Koch, 2010) In this article Koch argues that a human’s conscious perception of the world is neither static or accurate. That people everywhere are incapable of being one hundred percent objective and therefore their awareness of objects surrounding them is dependent on factors such as personal strength, confidence, fears and desires. Koch states that being human is equal to “seeing the world through your own, constantly shifting, lens” (Koch, 2010)

Indirect realists often ask us to consider hallucination and perceptual illusions. In hallucinations, you see something, but nothing which exists. In illusions, you see something, but not as it really is e.g. a straight stick in water appears bent. In each case, what you see, they claim, is a mental thing, an appearance, a ‘sense-datum’. We can then say that what we perceive ‘immediately’ is the appearance, which has secondary qualities; and that it is by enquiries@alevelphilosophy.co.uk © Michael Lacewing perceiving the appearance that we perceive the physical object, which has only primary qualities. So we see the appearance of the vase, which is a mental thing which really is red; and this way, we indirectly see the vase, which is a physical

"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

This is the reflexive process which brings the outside world in. For example, if there is a piece of paper with a pattern on it, which included a dotted pattern and dashed lines in the form of an oval. In this step, you see things for exactly what they are without interpretation, they are just dots and segmented lines. There is no preconceived notion of what this means. With our blind spot, in the bottom up processing, there is also an area that is missing. So, there seems to be a piece missing from our picture “puzzle” we are receiving from the light

In the article ‘Does Hockey deserve such a plum posting?’ by Janet Albrechtsen (The Australian, October 21, 2-15, pg. 12) it is argued that former treasurer Joe Hockey does not deserve the ambassador posting in Washington D.C. Albrechtsen utilises argument devices such as appeals to ethos, logos and pathos, language devices such rhetorical questioning, word choice, hyperboles and graphics, and structure to persuade the reader of her argument.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to defend a broad concept of visual perception, according to which it is a sufficient condition for visual perception that subjects receive visual information in a way which enables them to give reliably correct answers about the objects presented to them. According to this view, blindsight, non-epistemic seeing, and conscious visual experience count as proper types of visual perception. This leads to two consequences concerning the role of the phenomenal qualities of visual experiences. First, phenomenal qualities are not necessary in order to see something, because in the case of blindsight, subjects can see objects without experiences phenomenal

When working at Wal-Mart in Minneapolis, Ehrenreich, and her co-workers, have a very strict dress code. “No nose or other facial jewelry, we learn; earrings must be small and discreet, not dangling; no blue jeans except on Friday, and then you have to pay $1 for the privilege of wearing them” (145). Uniformity is clearly happening here. Employees are forced to look presentable in Wal-Mart’s opinion of presentable.

The cartoonist has intentionally caricatured Turnbull and his wife’s height to make them look childlike. The effective use of the caricature has negatively adjusted the way Australian citizens view Malcolm Turnbull. Furthermore, exaggerating their height into little children could also indicate what Turnbull is really like when discussing important political changes in Parliament between parties; he is very apprehensive like a little boy in a pet shop. To the last example, Turnbull’s eyebrows and anxious smile has particularly been caricatured for further understanding of Turnbull’s hesitation. This effectively brings out Malcolm confidence as a Prime Minister and how strained he is as ‘the crowd’ closely observes him. Moreover, Turnbull putting his hand on his chin is a great provision to show his anxiousness alongside a fake smile towards the proposing idea ‘GST Increase’ represented by an unappealing scorpion. The effective use of caricature is especially useful when Turnbull’s nervousness is contrasted with his positive media portrayal. Caricature plays an important role on delivering the cartoonist’s message about Turnbull and revealing his true

There are instances when employees represent the company where following dress code is not as important. If one is trying to impress someone at dinner, one would feel comfortable in more casual attire and therefore make a good impression not only of themselves but of the company.

Perspectives will both facilitate and constrain perception. A good example of this statement is the Burke

We form first impressions and overall judgments about people by the way one dresses. In the workplace, depending on what industry or company it is, employee dress code can differ based on the situation. Those who work at a banking institution are generally required to dress in “suit and tie” or at least business casual. In such workplaces, it is often required to abide by strict policies such as having to cover up tattoos and piercings whilst at the workplace. The dress code is set because the appearance of an employee reflects the company and its values. Thus when dealing with the public, other employees and in all other business relationships, it is important to conduct oneself in a courteous and respectful manner, which also entails dressing appropriately.

A camera lens focuses patterns of light onto film which records the image exactly. If the lens is out of focus or partially covered, a b lurry or obscured picture will result. The film is a recording device, it does not interpret and select what it portrays. Images from a camera are objective in a very literal sense. Seeing, however, is not such a seamless process. Our eyes work similarly to a camera in that they have a lens which focuses a real image on our retina, a light sensitive sheet of cells. This retinal image is a portrayal of the world as it truly is. The image which we see, however, is not this image. By considering a normal vis ual property as well as an uncommon ocular disorder the process of formulating our

Imagine a classic Shakespearian play or Italian opera performed in hip-hugging jeans or baggy t-shirts; or imagine the period musical 1776, produced by the wonderful Stuart Ostrow, performed in the groovy attire of the 1970s. These performances would seem completely out of place and confusing. One would not be able to grasp the completeness of the story or have any understanding of the time period, geographical location, or the character’s lifestyles and/or social statuses. As a result, the audience would fail to see certain emotions or feelings portrayed, character personalities, and would find it very difficult be connected to
