Reflections on the first class

I thought it was good practice to look at the concept of time from two opposing perspectives. One perspective that concerns itself with measurement and an another that acknowledges the subjective nature of time. Both perspectives offer something useful about the world. At first glance, the "western" notion of time seems to not have much dimension to it. From this perspective, time is constant except at speeds that are not practical to reach. The "eastern" notion of time is more dynamic in that it looks into how we relate to time, which may be better understood as change or movement, and it concerns itself with how that relationship effects our experience in the world. From this view "time," or change is something that has many dimensions, which offers the possibility for transformation for the individual.
