PERCEIVING WORKSHEET

Assignment: Answer the following questions


1. Do pictures, video, audio tapes tell what actually happened?

- Yes, pictures, video and audio tapes tell what actually happened, however, how an individual perceives something may influence what they actually see and/or hear. We apply our experiences even to solid and concrete evidence such as pictures, video and audio tapes to decipher what we are seeing and/or hearing.

2. When does fact end and perception begin?

- Fact ends and perception begins when we have to use that fact in any given circumstance - when he have to understand, relate or analyze the fact or facts. It is then that we take what we know to be a fact and apply it to our own experiences and/or knowledge.

3. What is the difference between fact and perception?

- a fact is what actually happened and perception is our take on that fact - how we evaluate that fact to understand it using our own knowledge and insight.
