Perception Lecture

              One lecture that I truly enjoyed and was enlightened by was the perception presentation. The perception lecture entailed the different ways in how others see us and how we see ourselves. It correlated with the play A Streetcar Named Desire and also with life in general. During the perception lecture Professor Brady’s lesson required us to think outside the box and not so surfaced and opened up my mind to a profound analysis of deception. The lecture pinpointed on the difference between illusion and the truth. Illusion can also be seen as magic, we can twist and alter the truth about ourselves in order to feel socially accepted and in turn it can be deceiving to the human eye. This lecture has helped me realize what is truly important in life and why many people lie and hide behind masks to prevent the unprepossessing aspects of the truth. Sometimes we have dark secrets to conceal and we do so by deceiving others, because nobody wants to face reality and eventually die a social death. Sometimes we have to step out of reality and into magic to survive.
