Frustrations that can be contained
Egocentrism may have "plagued" the human race longer than what Piaget thought it might. Even adults of age 25 doesn't know how to think in others' perspectives at times. i am but an adolescent but i can see what they don't see and sometimes i have to tell them what i actually saw. Sadly, they always refuse to accept MY perspective cos they think i'm jus an adolescent.What they don't realise is...my perspective is just another adult's perpective too.(pun intended)
The three mountains do not look like what you saw if u walk to the other side of the plane. It's main gists are retainded but it orientation has changed so much that it takes MATURE cognitive skills to comprehend what it will actually look like. Piaget might have been wrong about the age..maybe it took longer than it should for that skill to brew; maybe age is just but one factor;maybe the difficulty and the TYPE of task affects how efficient and mature our skills may be. Maybe we need to talk to ourselves (like when we were young) as we try to decipher the orientation of the mountains from a new point of view. Maybe we just need to REFLECT sometimes.
