This entire thread is bringing me back to my freshman year in college (50+ years ago) and psych 101. One day in the middle of class, this disgruntled student barges in arguing with the teacher about flunking him the previous semester. Well things escalated quickly and the student pulls a gun and shoots the teacher, then runs out of the classroom. The teacher then gets up, and says the rest of this session, you will write down everything that happened, and be specific. Next session we compared notes. 20 students, 20 different versions of what happened, what the perp was wearing, the color of his hair, etc. Everybody sees the same thing differently. |
