<p>"Two men look out through the same bars; one sees mud and one the stars."</p>
<p>-Frederick Langbridge</p>
<p>Assignment:</p>
<p>Does everyone sees a thing from the same perspective? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.</p>
<p>A famous statement of Frederick Langbridge: "Two men look out through the same bars; one sees mud and one the stars" makes us think whether everyone see a thing from the same prospective or not. I believe that Langbridge's excerpt is telling us the truth because, otherwise, we wouldn't have seen or known about conflicts, wars or philosophical discussions in the past, since anyone would have had the same ideas and opinions. </p>
<p>Personally, I think that few people can actually see the same object in the same prospective, but that if you put, for example, a class of twenty students in front of an issue, at least three different types of opinion will come out.
For example, last year my class had had a debate about whether take a native English speaker instead of out teacher or not; someone strongly wanted the native one because she was able to speak better, with a real British accent; some others thought she was better, too, because they hated our actual teacher; someone, on the other hand, didn't want her because she always seemed to ask us the same questions or talk about the same topics. We didn't find a solution to the problem at the end and this, in my opinion, means a single thing: anyone has his personal, unique point of view, and you can't make someone think in the same way as you do. </p>
<p>In addition, as previously mentioned, if anyone would have had the same ideas, we hadn't had any war in the past. Conversely our world history lets us know that they were plenty unfortunately. Sometimes it was due conquest of a land, certainly, but far more times different thoughts made them broke out.
Hitler, for example, believed that Jews were an inferior population and, because of this, he began to kill them brutally and in many different manners. Could a Jew have thought of this in the same way as Hitler? Absolutely not; and that is another proof that people cannot see a thing always in the same prospective. </p>
<p>And not to mention philosophical debates again: any philosopher had his own idea about God, for instance, and the dilemma became tougher and tougher during the Christian age. Some of them thought God existed and they were able to demonstrate this excellently, but there was always another philosopher that could argue against their proofs in an as brilliant way. Even nowadays we still cannot say if God exists or not, we can't find a compromise and, in fact, there are numerous different religions out there. </p>
<p>Therefore, for all these reasons, I strongly believe that people have different points of view and cannot always see the same thing in the same prospective, but, luckily, we will be able to find someone who owns our same thoughts or just can make us reflect about our ideas more deeply.</p>
