Whose reality prompts

Hey guys!
Can you please give me a few ideas or even analysis for different whose reality prompts. I find it very hard to analyse in depth without talking about the character, therefore making it sound like I am simply retelling the story.
Prompts:
1.Our realities are constantly shifting
2. ‘Shared experience does not mean that people see things the same way.’
3.Sometimes people find themselves living in a world created by other people.
4. ‘We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.’
Thanks!

1. You could talk about how as we grow and evolve as people and experience new things, the way we think and feel shifts slightly, and so our interpretations of our reality changes as well. This is about how subjective realities are formed, what influences them, etc. etc.

2. Here you could easily write an entire essay about objective reality vs. subjective reality. There is 'the' reality (objective), and there is 'a' reality (subjective). As humans are able to think and feel and have the freedom of choice and all these other incredible traits that we have developed over the years, we are able to interpret things in our own way, separate to how anyone else thinks or feels. Along with this, different experiences cause us to have different reactions to situations than other people.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLES
- Cultural differences affecting the way people interpret things

3. With this one you could talk about how we live in a culture of manipulation. We have advertisements, the news, etc. etc. that all aim to make us think about something in a particular way. They seek to provide bias in order to manipulate us into believing that we need that product, or that petrol prices are a conspiracy, or anything else you can ever think of. In this sense, we are living in the realities that they created
REAL WORLD EXAMPLES
- North Korea
- World War II

4. This is about how our personalities and personal experiences and such influence the way we see the world. Again, this is subjective reality. Here also you could write about the way people alter their realities in order to better cope with things, such as extreme trauma or stress. You talk about how it is near impossible for us to see reality objectively because an objective view of the world is not what will make us happy; we like to be able to, to some extent, control the world that we are a part of, and make it be what we think is best for us.


Sorry I don't have more real world examples, I've gone entirely blank for some reason!!!
I hope this helps at least a little bit! haha
