Document Summary
We are dealing with people and environments more specifically we are dealing with how people perceive environments often how they create them in their minds and then react toward them. The city is comprised of multiple layers of environments. People come in many different ways: culture, gender, economics, ethnicity, personalities, and perceptions are all either very different or not so different from us, as the case may be. When different, they give different points of view that give rise to the different interpretations of a given environment: ex. We can t seek an objective truth, b/c no single truth exists. We can t seek an objective interpretation of an environment b/c it simply doesn t exist. When one finds unanimity on an issue, it s b/c the group agrees that this particular relative interpretation is right for the group, not that it s universally right or true.
