CONCEPT OF THE DAY

RASHOMAN EFFECT-
occurs when the same event is given contradictory interpretations by different individuals involved.
But because these are accompanied by facts, each of these interpretations seem completely plausible wherein lies the confusion and dilemma.

Reason-not because people lie, but because they interpret the incident based on their own perceptions.

Here’s a simple example to understand how the Rashomon effect works in everyday life. Take for example that you meet a few friends over for dinner and the conversation is steered to the city park. You say that it’s a lovely place where you go to de-stress and relax, while your friend says that it’s a filthy place that is swarming with mosquitoes and has weird characters lurking about. You see how that works?

The park is the same, but the ways in which the two of you perceive it is different―this is the Rashomon effect. For a third person who’s witnessing this conversation, both viewpoints will seem legitimate because you are, after all, stating facts; but, there will be a dilemma in his mind about whether the park is worth visiting or not.
