PERCEPTION This is the question to the topic: An aim of Buddhism is to obtain enlightenment, which partially involves a greater understanding of oneself and one’s environment. Kōans are a central learning tool in Buddhist study. They are brief riddles that are intended to provoke enlightened thought among learners. Kōans are supposed to be “triggers” which, though they do not contain enough information in themselves to impart enlightenment, may possibly be sufficient to unlock the mechanisms inside one’s mind that lead to enlightenment. The following is a well-known Kōan in Buddhist teachings. Two monks were watching a flag flapping in the wind. One said to the other, ″The flag is moving.″ The other replied, ″The wind is moving.″ A Zen Master overheard this. He said, ″Not the flag, not the wind; mind is moving.″ What do you think is the meaning or the purpose of this Kōan? Why does the Master claim that “mind is moving”? Elaborate on why you hold your particular view. NO NEED FOR REFERENCE/ RESEARCH. JUST WRITE YOUR OPINION. ITS A CONJECTURE This is the question…

 The lifestyle of the whites and the blacks in the United States SUMMARY; Godwin analyses about the lifestyle of the whites and the Negros [blacks] in the United States. The main point that comes out clear is that color is not a human or a personality reality; it is a political reality. The white people in the country do have a lot in learning how to accept and love themselves and each other, while the Negros problem will no longer exist, for it will no longer be needed. Godwin gives examples by explaining how the Negros experience of the white cannot possibly create him any respect for the standards by which the white world claims to live in. Negros, who were neither doltish nor servile, did not have any feeling of guilt that they were doing the wrong thing when they got to rob the whites.
