Object

As the last blog, which I talk about system, I stated that we all have the interaction with others not only organism but also other objects as well.  Object could make us behave some certain way because our perceptions were frame according to the usage of the object that we saw.

A door, we all know that it is an architectural object that meant to be a threshold. All we have to do to walk through it is to push or to pull to open it. And we all know that it is a responsibility of a person to close the door that he or she open.  The door that is left open would annoy to other people within the space. As I stated earlier, the door meant to be a threshold but so is the arches. One thing that make it different from the arches is it can be close to give the privacy to people that live inside the space, it can protect those people from weather, pollution or any unpleasant things. It is our perception that makes us feels annoy to the fact that the door is left open. From that we hire people to only open and close the door and these people are doormen. Or we even invent the sensor that could open the door. People can never satisfy by the object itself. They always fine the discomfit in the object and develop it to become even more comfortable to any kind of users.

I’m just thinking of what I have learned so far in this class. I think this class has greatly impacted on me. I once think that everything that is visible is real but they are not. As I look back and rethink of every theory that Ajarn Taylor, object has a strong relationship on how our perceptions were frame. In post-modern world that we are living in, people do care about how they look more than who they really are. Moreover, they even use that as a standard to judge people at first sight. There is no surprise for me to see that people in my age pick a guy to date by his look rather than his soul. People care so much about the appearance because it frames their personal images. In other term, we are trapped under the power of the materialistic.
