The Sky and the Humans

 We see the Blue Sky above …. Do sky has limit or boundry? Have anybody counted the boundry of the sky? the answer is obviously NO..

If we raise our head up, we can see the sky. If we fly 35,000 KMs above the grounds still we see the sky above….. on the same height, even the astronomers exploring the universe still find the sky beyond reach. The sky, also known as the celestial dome or celestial sphere, where the sun, stars, planets, and the moon are seen to be traveling.

Sky appears to be blue because air scatters blue sunlight more than it scatters red.At night, the sky appears to be a mostly dark surface or region scattered with stars. The sky can turn a multitude of colors such as red, orange, purple and yellow when the light passes through a much longer path through the atmosphere. Scattering effects due to horizon partially polarize light from the sky, this scattered light travels through atmosphere as having impact from light from the zenith, causing it to lose blue components, vivid at the zenith, and pale near the horizon.Red light from Sun also scatters if there is enough air in between the source and the observer, these longer wavelengths of light will also scatter significantly, making parts of the sky change color during a sunrise and sunset. As the amount of atmosphere nears infinity, the scattered light appears more and more white

The intensity of the sky varies greatly over the day and in twilight, the period of time between sunset and sunrise the primary cause differs as well. During the day, When the sun is well above the horizon, direct scattering of sunlight (Rayleigh scattering) is the overwhelmingly dominant source of light. However, in twilight, the situation is more complicated.

Sky should have been of no colour as its takes the colour of the light. Same applies to Humans.. A person can takes the color of the perception of another individual. It may be innocent, moody, jealous, greedy, talented, dumb and so on. Its more depend upon the how you perceive the individual and accordingly you start choosing the colour to the individual Red (Angry, short tempered), Blue (Talented, honest) Green ( Calm and composed) and so on.

The Perception is not the passive receipt of signals, but can be shaped by learning, memory, and expectation. Perception depends on complex functions of the nervous system, but subjectively seems mostly effortless because this processing happens outside conscious awareness. There are 3 factors that can influence his or her perceptions: experience, motivational state and finally emotional state. In different motivational or emotional states, the perceiver will react to or perceive something in different ways. Also in different situations he or she might employ a “perceptual defence” where they tend to “see what they want to see”.

Social perception is that part of perception that allows people to understand the other people in their social world, as a social cognition which is the ability of the brain to store and process information. People instantly form impressions from facial appearance and these impressions affect important decisions. Social perception allows individuals to make judgments and impressions about other people. It is primarily based on observation, although pre-existing knowledge influences how we perceive an observation. It is combined with the cognitive ability to pay attention to and interpret a range of different social factors that may include: verbal messages, tone, non-verbal behavior, and knowledge of social relationships and an understanding of social goals.

Erik Erikson created the Eight Developmental Stages for perception:

• Trust vs. Mistrust: Feeding Children develop a sense of trust when caregivers provide reliability, care, and affection. A lack of this will lead to mistrust. (birth-2 yrs)
• Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt: Toilet Training Children need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence. Success leads to feelings of autonomy, failure results in feelings of shame and doubt. (2 yrs-4 yrs)
• Initiative vs. Guilt Exploration: Children need to begin asserting control and power over the environment. Success in this stage leads to a sense of purpose. Children who try to exert too much power experience disapproval, resulting in a sense of guilt. (4 yrs- 5 yrs)
• Industry vs. Inferiority School: Children need to cope with new social and academic demands. Success leads to a sense of competence, while failure results in feelings of inferiority. Adolescence (5 yrs – 12 yrs)
• Identity vs. Role Confusion Social Relationships: Teens need to develop a sense of self and personal identity. Success leads to an ability to stay true to yourself, while failure leads to role confusion and a weak sense of self. Young Adulthood (13 yrs- 19 yrs)
• Intimacy vs. Isolation Relationships: Young adults need to form intimate, loving relationships with other people. Success leads to strong relationships, while failure results in loneliness and isolation. Middle Adulthood (20 yrs- 40 yrs)
• Generativity vs. Stagnation Work and Parenthood: Adults need to create or nurture things that will outlast them, often by having children or creating a positive change that benefits other people. Success leads to feelings of usefulness and accomplishment, while failure results in shallow involvement in the world. (40 yrs – 60 yrs)
• Ego Integrity vs. Despair Reflection on Life: Older adults need to look back on life and feel a sense of fulfillment. Success at this stage leads to feelings of wisdom, while failure results in regret, bitterness, and despair. (60 yrs — death).
