Different point of view...


So this short video is about "points of view" which has been always an interesting topic in my life since I was about 13 or so. I mean, to write about this issues is itself a hard work because everyone has a different value systems. Take the word "good," for example. Good can have different meanings for one and other for another person and the situation is the same with bad. But this wuold be only black and white world and of course, the reality is a bit more toned.


The concept of double standard is also an interesting definition because it says that it's "a rule or moral principle that is unfair because it is used in one situation, but not in another, or because it treats one group of people in a way that is different from the treatment of another." But with this, we arrived to the example of discrimination. I don't want to evaluta this but I think it's an acceptable illustration. 


The thing I wanted to talk about is the different measure with which people think or do things. This is the same with the commercials like in the video. I mean, it's necessary that we have different point of view and we just should try to use them -- in life's situations. Like in journalism, the distinct newspapers write about the same articles in surprisingly opposed ways. Or in the media, on the television: the channels have different news and find other ones important than the another channels (like here in Hungary RTL Klub and TV2) Politics is a  common battlefield of altered opinions and views so it's adequate for practising. Only if it's not hated or disappointing which is almost unbelievable in this century, especially in Hungary. 


The golden truth is that don't judge something because you don't know it well yet, but try to look behind the topic/ideology/person's life or whatever and after that say what you wanted. You might change your mind before speaking/writing.

  1. Short but sweet video. It's true that you have to see the bigger picture if you want to understand why things are happening in a certain way.

  2. That's right. I edited a post a little, so I hope Joe will be satisfied with this. But I still have 2 to go and the last word entry.
