gazing or hazing.. which do you do?

An eloquent gaze or a dreamy look or a critical stare or a sinister glance or a dramatic perception.. Many ways to say it and also many ways to look at it. Essentially what we look at and what we seek to look at or what we end up looking at, is relative to what each of us has seen in each of our own different lives.

Ironically - talking, reading and writing about different topics, changes our views on them. Inconclusively we never stop gazing, therefore we never (should) have the same exact view.

Harming as it is to simply gaze and label anything based on looks alone or on a singular perception, it is further damaging to inconclusively think and act based on such. But it seems that since the day we had eyes popped into our skull, we like to simply just look at everything and since the day we could comprehend and communicate, whether reasonably or irrationally, it seems we only figuratively translate these so-called-truths.

In this modern world, we don't seem to be very modern when it comes to human relations and in so we end up having to re-explore and evolve the underlying meanings of what is established. As a woman, the male gaze is received incoherently, as it almost always seems to minimally grasp the female point of view. This is experienced in almost all interaction with others as media is so much a part of our lives in this day and age that we even get to write our homework on one of this modern age's most supple forms of media.

Just a look in the mirror, a minute of television watching, or the seconds it takes for a web browser to open and we are flooded with perspectives and thoughts of the male gaze. We either don't care or we do or we are somewhere in the middle of both. Regardless though, we still are affected by it and we live by it, as the male gaze is mainstream media as we know it. In a world dominated by such media, it doesn't help to have such blurry, unmagnified and sometimes immature publicity. Because of this, the oppositional gaze exists; because of seeing how poorly or how far from the truth one's own identity is perceived, translated or promoted by someone else of a different race, sex or origin then makes us not want to either see or be affected by such a negative representation.

With more and more forms of media becoming popular and accepted by cultures globally, the image of man and the image of woman gets furthermore developed and as there are mainstream ways of viewing a topic, there are independent perspectives that can go very far as well.
