Perspective And Perception Of An Event

Perception is defined as the process in which perceivers give meaning to the things they see after comprehend and rearrange the data in their brains (Robbins, 2014). The final information concluded by each person can be different comparing to the reality and the others’ conclusion. Briefly, perception is what our brains, instead of our eyes, see.

I interviewed my Mom about her journey to California and why she got there. She impacted me because she told me that she went to the U.S. for several reasons. The food in Vietnam has dust in it, Vietnam is a communist country, most water sources in Vietnam are dirty, and so my two little sisters and I can have free education. That motivated me to be grateful that my Mom brought me here to California.

I interviewed my 74-year-old Grandfather Larry Will. He was born October 16, 1942 to Frances Patry Will and Edwin Will, he was the 3rd out of 6 children. I personally enjoyed interviewing my Grandfather, due to the relationship I have with him. We’ve never discussed his past life like this before. It was great too get to know him more. In which, I found his memories to be profoundly enlightening. I could tell that he wanted to key on topic and stay formal. I plan to keep this interview to share after time is passed to other family members.

The person I interviewed was a Somalian friend I met in middle school. Back then, I never really asked why she came to America, and now after many years I actually know the answer. Everything that is happening in Somalia right now is pretty horrifying and it is pretty obvious now why her family decided to leave everything behind, including their home and culture. Even though her family 's memories of Somalia are filled with nostalgia, they feel safe here.

The Vietnam war was a conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam and its allies in South Vietnam, known as the Viet Cong, who was against the government of the south and the main ally was United States. The main conflict was the desire of North Vietnam, which had defeated the French colonial administration of Vietnam in 1953/4, to put together the whole country under a single communist regime modeled after those of the Soviet Union and China. The human cost in this wars was harsh for all the involving.

Perspective versus perception, also thought of as palace versus pit (D. Ridley, personal communication, February 24, 2018). Perception provides us with an accurate understanding of a particular event at a specific moment, but if one sits in that perception, it can lead to cynicism. Perspective on the other hand, opts for a different view. It is an acknowledgement of “yes, I am in this moment right now, but there is always good in everything, so let me find it” type of moment. If a person chooses to live in a perceptional view, in actuality they are allowing their circumstance or situation to define them, and never seek a way out or to improve. Whereas, a person who chooses to live through their perspective view, gains control of self and

Influences to perception are religion, culture, and emotions are some of the influences that change the perspective on a person. A witness can change very on opinion or perpective because they have a physical difference such as vision or their processing of information but they can also have another variable such as how they see event. The event can be normal due to what they believe is right or wrong and even how they grow up (religion and culture play a huge role in

I interviewed my grandma, Cindy McFadden, for my person living in extraordinary times. She had a normal life that did not change much but the world around her was experiencing major changes. She was a middle class young girl and her family was not famous. She was not affected very much by the Great Depression and was not a huge fan of war, she lived a simple life. Her father worked, her mother was a housewife and she spent most of her life with her two sisters, Sandy and Betty. She was involved in sports and was an active member of the Catholic community. She was never a bad child or the child that was popular or stood out from everyone else. She is special because of her uniqueness and the times that she was living in. Major changes were occurring in the U.S. and even if it did not have a large impact, it still had an impact of her family and many families across the nation.

Sensations and Perceptions are related but total different concepts. A distinction has been made between sensations and perceptions. Thomas Reid (1758). The philosopher who made the original distinction between sensation and perception. He proposed that the crucial difference between the two terms was that perception always refers to external objects whereas sensations refers to experiences within a person that is not linked to external objects

The Vietnam War was a conflict between the communist army of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong against South Vietnam began in 1954. The United States began their involvement in the Vietnam War by supporting the democratic South Vietnam with weapons and soldiers. Many Americans were divided due to opposition of the US involvement with the war. It was the era of social movements like mexican american social activism, and anti-Vietnam War activism. I have interviewed a Vietnam veteran named Ernie Sanchez that was willing to discuss his experiences and effects of the war. Many Chicanos like Ernie fought against fought against discrimination, fought to survive the war, and fought to recover from the war.

I interviewed three people, my mother, my father, and my friend, Makaila. My mother is an avid church goer that finds comfort in God and often spreads her joy and love to all that she encounters. My father is a disabled 60 year old that endures diabetes and it often affects his life. Makaila is wild and free spirit that believes in people not being complete idiots by discriminating people.

The first person I interviewed was my mom, Shirley. The reason I chose her is because she is 83 years old and raised seven kids during the early part of the Cold War. She has been married twice, she been broke then been comfortable but not wealthy, and she has seen her share of health problems.

In this interview, this person stood out to me and I wanted to know more about her life and how she became who she is today. Connie Giang is my mom and her story shows how she didn’t see a future in Vietnam, her home, because Vietnam was still, and is still a communist country today. Connie didn’t want to live her life in Vietnam. Everything in Vietnam was different than what beings were in America. She had to get things together and lead herself on the right path of her life.

Perspective refers to a point of view that involves certain assumptions. On the other hand, perception can be defined as our recognition and interpretation of sensory information. It is the lens through which we view reality. Just like the examples I showed before, there is no fixed meaning to anything because you can always look at something in a different way and interpret different meanings. Things in themselves are inherently neutral, it is the way we perceive them that changes its meaning. For instance, your day can be awful or great depending on your perspective. Or you could view a bad mark in the test as a failure or an opportunity to develop self-resilience. The thing is, there is no right or wrong way to perceive something. However, having a positive perspective can improve your perception towards life.

It’s impossible to decipher how other people view your image. It’s a hypothesis, an educated guess. Projected images can sometimes be misunderstood, viewed as negative, self-serving transparencies. In my experience a large segment of the population attempts to portray a false image of someone they are not, but someone they would like to emulate. Without a solid relationship with someone, it can be difficult to decide if their image is real or delusional. I have been conscious of self image since my youth. My life has provided me with many challenges and opportunities that have resulted in the evolution of my image that has transitioned from a rebellious teenager to a 55-year-old displaced worker going back
