Ways of Seeing Review

This book talked about as humans how we view things. The author Jon Berger explained how in different situations humans cans see things differently. Berger covered how humans view perspective, nakedness, and how we view pieces of art. One AH HA moment I had was when he talked about bogus religiosity. Bogus religiosity is where people value a piece of art because it is so rare and people are willing to pay large amounts of money for it, so we view that piece of art as more important than other pieces of artwork.
