Document Summary

There are many perspectives or windows in the human world today and has always been. There are many people who take in all the perspectives, but there are others who have trouble seeing the connection between multiple perspectives. In the essay in the forests of gombe , jane goodall explains how multiple perspectives, like science and religion, have helped her in life whether it was to get trough tough times or do her job as a scientist. Similarly, in the essay god, science, and imagination , wendell berry discusses how religion and science are part of fundamentalism and are pointless and destructive, but still criticizes a scientist for dismissing the existence of god. Both authors have a similar opinion and believe that multiple perspectives can connect. They might see the joining of the perspectives differently, but ultimately they don"t have trouble reconciling multiple perspectives.
