Content Theory

While we were visiting the countryside for a study-tour, I,  a teacher, got different content as answers when I individually inquired "What's the content that you see here?" to each one of my four brightest students.
Photo Prompt - Magpie Tales

Student 1: "I see a superb scenic spot to sit and paint masterpieces, take photographs, and write poetry or a book!"

Student 2: "I see peace and tranquility and a perfect spot for an eco-tourism resort."

Student 3: "I do not see much trees here and thus I see a suitable space for tree-plantation and a future forest."

Student 4: "I see no buildings or development here and thus this is the ideal place to build a new city and factories."

I was contented that my theory about different perspectives had been proved right yet again.


Do you believe that the content and our contentment varies as per our outlook? Do share in the comments below.

  3. Absolutely! It's about perception and connotation...each of us have different view points and that's what your post wonderfully shows!

  4. It never ceases to amaze me (which in itself amazes me) how MANY perspectives come from a simple situation like a scenic view. I am always taking pause to remind myself that everyone doesnt think like I do! Thanks for linking in with six sentence stories! The new cue is up for next week if you're interested! This was great! Thanks!

  5. What we see can even be filtered by our age and what we value. An interesting one.

  6. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this difference in perception with others. I'm with Gemma that age has something to do with it, or even current events that come to mind. In the photo, I'm reminded of floods.

  9. Definitely think that what we bring to a situation has everything to do with how we interpret anything. Always a thought- and conversation-provoking question.

  19. Absolutely! We all view things differently. We look at situations, events and interpret what other people say and do, according to our own set of past experiences, culture, faith, values!
