PC: A Comprehensive Perspective

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss (...) These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen” (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross). Compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern make mankind beautiful, but it also makes it defenseless . When one has concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others, he takes sacrifices, risks, and lives with uncertainty. When man is compassionate, he lives a vulnerable life. Love and compassion bring out the beauty in mankind, but they can also bring out its weaknesses. Because of man’s compassion, he

In today’s day and age we tend to be trapped by the people around us and can’t free ourselves so we can ponder or discover new things about the world. We are stopped from viewing things in a different perspective because society tells us there’s only one way to look at things. Plato describes in his allegory, “How could they see anything but the shadows if they were never

We all have a worldview, a set of lenses used to view all of life and reality. Our individual

How do people view the world? Is it all based on race, culture, and ethnicity? Is it more found in the upbringing of children?

Realizing we have more in common than not, when I meet new people, I look at them as individuals. I take into consideration the concrete, the behavioral and the symbolic for they all have their place in a person being who they are. Yes, I wish others could see and gain understanding for other cultures through my eyes. For example, “it is possible to acquire a new culture by becoming disabled, moving to a new country or region, or by a change in our economic status. When we think of culture this broadly we realize we all belong to many cultures at once” (Community Tool Box, 2013).

The followers of Buddhism observe nature and take in all the beauty of it. I know that I need to achieve this. There are times where I judge people for the way they look, act, or talk. This is a wrong way to judge people, and unfortunately it is something most people are adapted to in our society. We must treat everyone with compassion for one another. This is a lesson that is greatly practiced in the Buddhism religion. “Furthermore, when we speak about people based on what we think, feel, or hope rather than on what we observe and experience, we deprive them of their

As our society evolved, my vision of the world has been changing drastically. The biggest change occurred when I came to the U.S. This happened due to fact, that in America I have more opportunities of being in contact with the ever changing technology. Even though, I came to America with a master’s degree technologically, I was behind, because in Mexico, the country in which I grew and was educated, used to have very limited technological advancements for the whole population. Therefore, I learned in America how to use the Internet, e-mailing, texting, and using a smart phone. Of course, Mexico is different today. As a consequence, when I lived in Mexico, my world view was limited to the issues, routines, and traditions of that country. Then, I came to America, believing that this country was genuinely multicultural. Fortunately, dealing with different cultures was not an issue, because my Mexican family is racially mixed, and I learned to appreciate different cultures, since my early childhood.

My way of seeing beauty in what others do not find worthwhile has been clear since I was a little girl. Whenever I found a toad, I would reach down and gently pick it up, marveling

Everyday I walk outside and take a seat on my bench. Me and this plain bench have seen the world in ways no else has. It's because we are the only ones aware of our surroundings.

Being raised as a young girl, growing into a female teenage adolescent and now soon becoming a young woman, my outlook on life has been highly influenced by the views my family, friends and society portrayed as well as perceived to be right for me. My nationality, faith, education and upbringing have shaped the way the world sees me and as result, the way I see the world. So now the question is, what is my worldview and is it really what I wish for it to be?

Everyone is plentiful and living a virtuous life, No stress or affliction, our lives are so bright. But not all of this is the world’s reality, Some children in the world won’t find a gift under their Christmas tree. Some don’t have food or shelter to stay warm, Some need to suffer from hunger or a catastrophic rainstorm.
