Colin Turnbull

Colin Turnbull was an upper class Oxford-educated Englishman. His life long affair with the African Pygmies made him one of the most famous intelectuals of his times ( 1960's and 70's). Colin Turnbull fell in love with an African American named Joseph Towles. For 30 years they lived in New York City and rural Virginia. Joseph died in 1988 from aids and Colin became devastated. He then gave away all his money and lived as a buddhist monk tutored by the Dalai Lama's older brother.

Colin Turnbull died in 1994 of AIDS

Perception

In textbook defenition, perceptionis the act or faculty of apprehending by means of the senses or of the mind; cognition; understanding. In other words percenption is the way the individual interprets the reality. For example, a person who suffers of colorblindness, will not see a peice of art as a person who isnt colorblind. Another example: the first thing people notice in a car crash is: What happend? Other people notice how did the care get there? My personal deffenition of perspective is how that person sees a certain aspect in life. The importance in perspective is mostly in discussions and debates, to be able to see both sides of the moon.
