"Seeing the past..." review

In Paula Levine's article she makes a point that as beings in a fast paced and high rushed world we overlook the minor and major landmarks and accomplishments that built us as we are today as a society. We tend to overlook and subconsciously avoid the history that "defies physics" and "shakes up our perspectives". Monuments are landmarks of history that educate any age group and culture. We can learn from another and from those in the past, possibly making a wiser choice in the everyday decisions that we can make today and tomorrow. Not only are they historical landmarks but they are pieces of art that convey a story, a feeling, a purpose  and an idea. They are the symbols of modern day and past artists speaking/expressing their perspectives and points of view for others to observe and basically build their own opinion/perspective off of that initial piece.
