Same Tree, Different Eyes: The Psychology of Perspective

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY Same Tree, Different Eyes Why we see the world differently—and how perspective shapes our decisions, relationships and lives. We do not always see things exactly as they are. We often see them through the lens of who we are. Imagine a large, beautiful tree standing beside a quiet road. Its branches stretch towards the sky, its leaves dance in the breeze, and its shade offers relief from the afternoon sun. A child might see a place to discover birds and nests. A carpenter might see the possibility of creating a table or a chair. A woodworker might think about timber. A businessperson might calculate its commercial value. An environmentalist might see biodiversity, ecological balance and the importance of conservation. The tree has not changed. Its physical presence remains the same. Yet the thoughts, emotions and possibilities it evokes are remarkably different. This simple observation ope...

Jallikattu -Traditional sport of Tamil Nadu(India)

Introduction

Jallikattu is an ancient sport. The seals of the Indus Valley civilization depict it, which is proof that this sport was in vogue 5,000 years ago. Ancient Tamil poetry, known as Sangam literature (2nd BCE – 2nd CE), has many detailed references to Eru Thazhuvuthal (hugging the bull).
History

Jallikattu  also known as Eru thazhuvuthal is one of the traditional sport in which a Bos indicus bull is released into a crowd of people. Multiple human participants attempt to grab and tightly "hug" the large hump of the bull and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Participants hug the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags affixed to the bull's horns.  Jallikattu is typically practiced in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day.
