It is human nature to want to help other people, but sometimes what a person shows they need help with, versus what they actually need help with, are two very different things. The graph here shows that a hardship going on in someone's life can seem detrimental to that person, but to someone on the outside, it can seem so unimportant that we won’t think twice about it. I think that this is a very real message that everyone can connect to because at one point or another, everyone has had to deal with a problem in their lives that seems huge to them, and all their friends think that they’re just overreacting. This has happened to me on many occasions especially when I overthink an assignment that I turned in that I didn’t think I did too good on. To me, this assignment feels like it’s going to make or break me getting into college, but for my friends, they see it as just one small assignment that won’t change my overall grade. I think that humans have a natural flaw to overreact to things when something doesn’t go exactly as it was planned to, and this graph shows exactly that.
I think this is describing the problems that others have that you don't see. Sometimes, when you look at a person they can be happy and energetic, but once they go home they are sad and lonely. People never really look too deep into the problems of others, so they never see the extent of it.
This picture is depicting the way people view burdens. Most times, we only see the surface of one's issues. They on the other hand, are drowning in them. We can't ever really know what's going on in a person's life. We will only know if it is our life, our reality. You know how people say "walk a mile in my shoes?" Well, that's what this image says. One can never know that path walked, run, or strolled unless they have worn another's shoes. We don't see the severity of one's problems until we find ourselves in our own.
I believe the picture is trying to show that no one really knows what is going on in other peoples lives. What they tell us is only a fraction of the situation. I think it also implies that other people do not see the importance of others situations because they do not have that situation or understand it.
I think that the graphic is saying that we think everybody is fine and has no problem in the world but they are actually struggle and could use help. I think this because "Other People's Burdens" meaning other people's head load and that they are stressed out. Then the bar on the left means what we think about people and how they don't have any problems. On the right side of the bar is how much they are really going through.
I believe what is going on in this graph is that people don't really see the whole picture. We really don't know what is going on in people lives. I believe this is true, because a lot of people do not show most of the time what they are feeling or even how they feel and also a lot of people don't care enough about other peoples problems because they already have enough going on in their own life. I personally try my hardest to care about other people and be there for them when they need me and to hope that they will be here for me as well when I need them.
I think that what goes on at home non of us actually see the other side of their life and they could be really nice at school or just in public but at home or where ever they live could be a struggle or they could be getting abused at home. We should never judge someone by their clothes or how they act. Maybe trying to get to know someone before hurting them would be a great idea
I think the article is trying to say that we only see what people are going through on the outside. A lot of people could be hurting or going through a lot more than what we really see. I think the message is to tell people to look out for others more and ask how people are doing just to make sure because you don't really know how people are doing or feeling unless you ask. At the same time on the other hand you might see somebody who is perfect at school but at home could be struggling. You never know what people are going through in their life, so we should never judge them.
I think its trying to say that some people get way over their head. Sometimes people get over their head and they don't do as well as they thought.
I think that this graphic is trying to express that we as people will never fully understand or comprehend what other people are going through. Sometimes distress can be viewed from the surface, but it doesn't compare to what is going on internally, mentally and emotionally.
We will never truly understand other peoples burdens. This graph shows that perfectibility. Even if its my best friends burden and they tell me everything I still wont understand how he felt because I didn't go through it. We will only see a small part of their reality. So before people judge people on their burdens they need to understand it is so much bigger than what they see their perception is only a small part of it.
This graph shows what people think about themselves. There are people who have everything in life and people who have nothing. This graph shows that we should consider what people are going through before we start judging them.
I think that this graph is showing we only see a little bit of what people are going through. We can not just assume what they are going through rather bad or good. For example, you might see somebody at school who is a troublemaker, but you never know whats happening outside of school. You only see a portion of their life. You don't know if they have a bad family or is going through family problems. Another example is that you could see somebody that looks happy every single day on the outside, but on the inside they are actually very sad. You never know what people are going through in their life, so should never judge them.
After reading the article, I think it is telling how lots of people are going through lots of tough times and people don't even know. People hide their problems and tough situations, so people have no idea what they're going through. I think the graphic is saying that we look at people as if they have nothing going on that's tough in their life, but in reality, they are having a tough time with situations.
I think the meaning of the picture is how much other people are dealing with and how the people outside think the person’s life is going. I think it is true, people never actually know what the people around them are feeling or dealing with. The way the person presents themselves is not always the way they are feeling. Most people take the first impression to determine what kind of person they are. The first impression does determine a lot about the person but if you meet someone and they are not the nicest or if they seem off think of what the person is going through and how they are feeling. That is why you should always be kind and treat others better than you would want someone to treat you.
This graph can say many things about other people's burdens. What the main message of this graph in my opinion is that what it looks like to us is not even close to how they feel. Someone could look happy in person, but deep down inside they are dealing with something way more than what they show. They may never talk about it or never show it, but deep down they have bad emotions taking over their feelings.
It looks like this graph is saying that someone may have it worse than other people think. It shows that peoples burdens are a lot harder on the person its effecting than on the other people. Also so can pretend they are okay and that will make their friends think that they don't have a lot of problems.
After viewing this article I think what it is trying to say is regardless of how much we think we know about someone, there is always a reasoning to what they are doing. And less than more times is it what we think. There are always things going on behind closed doors that we don't know. No one tells people exactly what is going on in their life, it is a brief explanation and there is so many details left out that could change exactly how you think on the subject. You truly never know someone the way you think you do due to life changing daily and people acting different on it. Before judging someone I think it is important to put into consideration you have no idea what this person is going through in their home life. We only know a quarter of what is going on, but the full story is the important part.
The drawing is representing how little we think of other people's lives and how bad it could possibly be. We always think of the kid who gets in trouble is just a trouble maker but they could be having bad problems at home that we have no clue about. Anyone could be hiding their burdens from everyone for all we know. So always consider what their life could be like before you judge them.
This graphic is saying that all people view things differently. One person will think down of something and another person wouldn't. It's all on how we view it. I think this is one of the better messages I have seen. If you can understand and realize that all people react differently to problems, then you will be a lot less disturbed.
In this graph, I think it’s trying to provide the fact that people don’t realize how hard things are for other people. Many people struggle and the people who are doing well in life may not realize how bad it really is to be in their shoes. I think that this message is factual because there are situations where this may occur just in anybody’s daily life. I can connect this to me in that I could imagine how bad some people are living but actually living that life is way out of my imagination and how I see things. Another thing is that some people don’t show that they are suffering, for example, a kid at school might go home to his violent parents but nobody knows about it.
First of all I think the graph "other peoples burdens" is saying that we only see whats on the surface. The graph is saying that we don't really know whats going on in someones life. A lot of people fake a smile to the world and you may not ever know. our perception of other peoples reality is not ever what it actually is because most people wear a mask in public.
I believe that the graph is telling us that there are two perceptions of other peoples burdens and how we view them vs. how they (the person who has the burden) view the burden. My opinion of this graph is well its very true its scary. I can connect to this picture because I am dealing with severe depression, other peoples perspective of me might be "oh he's a funny guy" in reality im dealing with something that is hurting myself there is a huge difference between what im dealing with and what other people think I am.
I think that this picture is really saying that we can't judge people by watching the show they put on. Everyone has their own burdens and they hide it by putting on a show, to make people think that they are fine. We wouldn't want people to judge us and determine our level of burdens by looking at the shows we put on. This just means that we should consider their problems and pain, and don't judge them.
I think this picture is trying to say that we see a fraction of what people are really going through. For example, you might see somebody at school who gets in trouble a lot or bullies someone, but you never know whats happening outside of school at their home life. You only see a portion of their life. But on the other side, you might see somebody who never gets in trouble at school but at home could be struggling. You never know what people are going through.
I think the graphic is saying that what we can see may not be what we think. What we see of other people's burdens are little. In reality they could be dealing with so much and we have no clue. They could have so many burdens in their life and all we can see is their face. Not what's going on in the inside of their heads.
This picture is trying to say that what we think other people are going through is usually only a fraction of the whole for their problems. I do not connect to this picture at all. Our perception of someone else’s problems can improve with talking to them and trying to comfort them. To say that we always greatly underestimate someone’s hardships regardless of effort isn’t all that true, in my opinion.
This picture is trying to convey how you never know how much someone is going through. You could look at someone and think they only have small problems in their life, when really they could be going through a world of trouble that you just can't see. This picture should teach you to be more compassionate with people since you don't know what could be happening in their lives.
After viewing Other People's Burden's from the New York Times Article, I think this picture is trying to convey that we just see a fraction of what people are really going through. For example, you might see somebody at school who gets in trouble a lot or who is mean, but you never know whats happening outside of school. You only see a portion of their life. At the same time on the other hand you might see somebody who is perfect at school but at home could be struggling. You never know what people are going through in their life, so we should never judge them.
After viewing the New York Times picture prompt, "Other People's Burdens," I think the graphic is trying to say that you don't know as much as you think you know about someone. They could be hiding something important about their home life or something else that they are struggling with that makes them act a certain way. We think that someone who is constantly getting in trouble is just a bad kid, but we never think about the fact that they could be struggling with something outside of school. We should always consider what someone is going through before we judge.
