Reflection #2 EDF 2085

As expressed in the reading the concept of transformation has a wide range of categorical definitions depending on the context. It covers many subtypes that were discussed in the reading such as a makeover (change of physical appearance), revolution (major change), renovation (make something like new again), alteration (change), conversion (the act of converting something) or recovery (return to normal state). A transformation is not only limited to be a physical characteristic, but it could also be perceived as a state of mind. The full cycle a certain object or person makes to become something better or improved, in my opinion, is considered a transformation. In the second article transformation is strictly relevant to human point of view and experience, how our minds allow us to accumulate new perspectives. We can control how to approach a specific thought or how we see ourselves and improve it. I can’t help but to derive my thoughts into what my parents always say that we must have confidence and deal with a conflict with a positive mind in order to achieve the best results. Low self-esteem makes it impossible for someone to accept their flaws hindering their ability to recognize the good qualities of others. You must love yourself to be able to love other people. Preparing our minds to be accepting takes effort, in my personal view I appreciate the different principles of individuals believe in. In this populated world we get the chance to interact with many individuals who may or may not agree or accept our perspectives. One must learn to me tolerant and treat others with respect regardless of gender, race, religion, and sexual preference. According to the article a person can experience transformation by themselves through their own character, experimenting changes of their image, accepting the changes that were produced, not judging others for their appearance but for what they’re truly like. Adopting these concepts can help us interact with society and understand better the changes that may arise within a person.
