    Perspective is the way we experience the world, our point of view.<\/p>\n

    Often we get used to a particular perspective and it can be difficult to know that is occurring.\u00a0 For example, most people view the world from sitting or standing and rarely look above.\u00a0 Museum curators and people who arrange store displays know objects above eye level frequently get overlooked (or under-looked in this case).<\/p>\n

    Once limitations in our perspectives are revealed, we tend to expand them, and then limit them again over time. \u00a0Psychologists weigh in with many interesting reasons. \u00a0From a learning perspective, this limits the scope of information we can gather, which can be a detriment when addressing complex issues.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
