An evaluation and analysis will be conducted on the critical thinking case study, where an important concept, perspective, plays an important role in the decision making process. Details will be reviewed on how an individual's perspective has the ability to impact all the decisions that will be made. It will be analyzed from the point of view that one's expectation from or for another impacts and potentially translates how daily interaction with people is manifested.

The critical question that must first be addressed and answered is: What is perspective? According to one scholar, "perspective in theory of cognition is the choice of a context or a reference (or the result of this choice) from which to sense, categorize, measure, or codify experience, typically for comparing with another" (Wikipedia, 2006). One may further recognize a number of subtly distinctive meanings, specifically the Weltanschauung paradigm. This school of thought describes "experiences, beliefs, and values that affect the way an individual perceives reality and responds to that perception" (Wikipedia, 2006). People in all industries and all walks of life operate from and through perspectives every minute and every hour of their lives. It is developed and nurtured over time based on everything that is known and experienced. For example one's ethnicity, culture, religion, and environment creates a certain perspective about everything from world issues to work ethic. As children values are taught (whether good or bad, responsible or irresponsible), that influences personal and professional points of views. For example, culture plays a major role on perspectives and gives a sense of belonging that affects how choices are made concerning friends, schools, and even places that are visited. Essentially it paves the way on the outlook of the world.
