1. seeing

   Seeing refers to the cognitive process of perceiving visual information through the eyes. It involves the reception and interpretation of light waves that are emitted or reflected from objects in the environment. This sensory perception allows individuals to visually recognize and understand their surroundings, distinguish shapes, colors, and patterns, and navigate the world visually. Seeing also involves the integration of visual information with other senses to create a holistic perception of the environment.

Examples of seeing in a Sentence

1. Lori Chavez-DeRemer:

   What you're seeing is the drug cartels, and how powerful they really are and how this administration isn't addressing that. We talk about why [migrants] are coming to America — we're talking about money, and we're talking about drugs, and we're talking about how they can exploit Latinos from Mexico, but also exploit the American population, so when I talk about Oregon… what we have to address is the fentanyl crisis. Because of this open border, these failed policies, it allows for that drug crisis and drug cartels to traffic right up into Oregon and our fentanyl crisis is higher than the national average in deaths.

2. Paul Nolte:
