Perception Is Everything.

Everything in life is presented to the world for specific reasons. Beau Otto's presentation demonstrates these themes through a series of optical illusions. There are a number of concepts that have been created for many individuals.

To begin with, racism issues have occurred in the past, are still occurring in the present and most likely will in the future. How will discrimination stop if people are just as much judging as they were in the past? Everyone needs to understand that having black or white skin is not very different it’s the love that people share deep inside of them. Whose choice was it to judge people based on their skin color? This is clearly an optical illusion that most people do not recognize.

The media is also changing many lives of young children as Beau Otto reveals. Children are controlled by computers, video games and cell phones nowadays. What will happen in 20 years? Will there be an even greater force which will control our children? The media influences children to change their body types, hair and wardrobes. In our society women want to look flawless and model-like, which influences children to look upon them. Every person is created for a different purpose, to be different and unique but there are many people who don’t signify this.

Therefore it is evident Beau Otto’s presentation demonstrates many concepts are made a certain way to fit our perceptions which creates personal opinions. Individuality is not recognizable in our society anymore due to many optical illusions.
