It is the image that is formed, temporarily, in a flat body. To achieve this, some kind of approach is employed. In this sense, the showing of movies through a projector is also known as projection. For example: "Tomorrow I will attend the screening of the latest Spielberg film at the club", "I don't want to miss the projection of the game on the giant screen."
In the field of cinema, the word projection is used to refer to the broadcast of a tape. Ex: "Finally tomorrow, the screening of your new film will take place."
The projection is also an estimate about the potential situation of a company or the progress of a plan, for example, at a particular point in the future (“Our projections speak of a sales growth of 10% in the next five years”) or the level of repercussion or scope of a person or an event ("This player has an important international projection", "The congress scandal was a fact of international projection").
In economic and social policy, the projection is a forecast of various economic variables that are based on a macroeconomic analysis based on statistical information from the real, fiscal, balance of payments and international sectors. From the analysis of the information, it is possible to understand the current behavior of the economy, this will allow the projections to be made by various methods, the most used being financial programming models and econometric models, among others.
In geometry we find a reference for this word, since in this area it is used to designate the figure that appears on a surface after projecting all the points of another figure onto it.
In cartography, projections are used to represent the surface of the earth or on a globe. There are several: the Mercator cylindrical, the Lambert conic or the polar stereographic.
For psychology, the projection consists in that an individual attributes his own virtues and especially his defects to another person as a defense mechanism. In the positive projection we incorporate in the other, virtues, feelings, thoughts and evaluations that we would like to share with us, which is typical of falling in love. In negative projection, the ideas, the impulses, the feelings that we deny ourselves and frighten us, we assign to another, because in us they are presented as unacceptable.
