Sense perception reflection- Nov. 11


Sense perception reflection

a) senses:

-Taste: I focused on my sense of taste by trying out mindful eating a few times. The texture and taste somehow tend to alter when you focus on taste rather than eating in auto-pilot mode. The taste doesn't always alter for everyone; however, the different textures and smells of foods make the taste different since you're focusing on them.
-Smell: I discovered that there is a lot of smells that people tend to ignore and not notice, especially in public and social situations. Smell is something that physically cant't be ignored but the mind tends to get used to it often, so it can be easily forgotten about. Malls especially i found to have many different smells.
-Sight: Sight is something most of us have and it is what helps us live our lives. however, what i have noticed by focusing on sight is that people tend to only focus on what is directly in front of them rather than exploring their surroundings from different viewpoints. 
-Touch: The human finger is capable of feeling objects as small as 13 nanometers, but people tend to not focus on all the different textures of things. This week, when i focused on touch, i discovered that everything has a unique texture that we tend to ignore often. 
-Sound: Sound is something that is also ignored in public and social situations due to the overload of sound. Sound is something that physically cant't be ignored but the mind tends to get used to it often, so it can be easily forgotten about. Schools and malls especially i found to have many different sounds.

Briefly, what would you say? What would you do? [4 points] 2. Would the following advice help you at all in your attempt to teach the child to balance? Give reasons. "For a given angle of unbalance, the curvature of each winding is inverse y proportional to the square of the speed…" [4 points] The first thing i’m going to tell them to wear a helmet because safety is the most important thing. Then i’m going to tell the kid to to paddle with a steady pace in a straight line. I am then going to tell them to just set themselves free and explore the world. They shouldn't
