We see things differently from one another and in the beginning we see things‚ but without language and understanding‚ we cannot explain what it is we see. The way we see things is predetermined by different factors such as our own experiences and status. Berger provides an example two paintings by Frans Hals. The two paintings are picture

Although John Berger and Anthony Appiah discuss very different topics in their essays Ways of Seeing and race‚ they are very similar in several ways. I found that the two have similar writing styles. Although Berger’s is a little bit more complex than Appiah’s‚ I found that they both write using extremely long sentences and difficult vocabulary. Aside from writing styles‚ I also found Berger and Appiah similar in their views. Both seem to go against the normal view of society. For example‚ in

Distinguish between offer & invitation to treat. An offer is a definite promise to be bound provided that certain terms are to be accepted.

Section 2(a) defines a proposal as ‘when a person signifies to another his willingness to do or to abstain from doing anything‚ with a view to obtaining the assent of that other to the act or abstinence‚ he is said to make a proposal. An invitation to treat is a statement

AGAINST THE GODS The Remarkable Story of Risk By Peter L. Bernstein I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by Against the Gods. I expected this book to be a typical dry book on a given financial subject‚ detailing use‚ application‚ and theory. I completely took for granted the fact that math‚ particularly risk‚ has history.
