it’s easy for people to get stuck in their own minds or their own worlds instead of seeing the perspectives of others. take a moment to consider the perspective of the individual listed. choose one individual. write a short paragraph to explain the perspective of that individual by putting yourself “in their shoes.” consider these questions:

what might be his or her struggles?
how does the individual see the world around himself or herself?
what decisions would you make if you were in that individual’s place?
be sure to use specific examples or textual evidence from research, the readings in this class, or your own experiences and knowledge.

prompt:

perspective of paul robeson (from the reading selection “paul robeson”)
perspective of buzz aldrin (from the reading selection “one small step”)
