 | موضوع: The Sunglasses Story  الأحد يناير 09, 2011 11:48 pm | |
| Imagine that in your own country, from the time of the first people, today, and far into the future,
everyone who was ever born or will be born was born with two legs, two arms, two eyes, and a pair of
sunglasses. The color of the lenses in the sunglasses is yellow. No one has ever thought it strange that the
sunglasses are there because they've always been there, and they are part of the human body. Everyone
has them.
Take the yellow sunglasses off and look at them. What make them yellow are the values, attitudes,
beliefs, and assumptions that all people in your country have in common. Everything that they have seen,
learned, or experienced (past, present, and future) has entered into the brain through the yellow lenses.
Everything has been filtered and interpreted through all these values that have made the lenses yellow.
The yellow lenses thus represent your attitudes, beliefs, values, and cultural background.
Far away in another country, from the time of the first people, today, and far into the future, everyone
who was ever born, or will be born, was born with two legs, two arms, two eyes, and a pair of sunglasses.
The color of the lenses in the sunglasses is blue.
One day a young traveler goes to that far-away land and realizes everyone sees things differently than he
does. What he would describe as being one way, they describe as another. Then it occurs to him that to
learn about that country and the people more thoroughly, he will have to acquire blue sunglasses so that
he can “see” the way they see. So he gets a pair of blue sunglasses, puts them on, and finally realizes
what the problem was. What he had been seeing as yellow, they saw as green!
The punchline here is that the young traveler wasn’t actually seeing the world the way the others were.
He had forgotten to take off his own cultural glasses before putting on the blue one of the other country[left]  [left] | |
