Its definition is different for all of us. To me‚ art is a way for one to express themselves. Each piece of art means something different for every one of us. Just because we don’t understand a particular piece does not mean that it’s not considered art in society. We can all appreciate a nice photograph or painting

What does it mean to Learn? Learning is an incredibly complex process that does not have a clearly defined biochemical or physiological mechanism of action. I suspect if you asked a cohort people what it means to learn you would get many divergent‚ yet similar definitions.
