Critical Thinking and Perception
What is real? Our perception of reality is often a product of the environment in which we live. ... I truly believe that perception is a learned skill and not
instinctive. Outside of our communities, television, radio and movies sculpt our perception of the outside world.
I think most of my thinking at the ordinary level is based on perception, language, and information. ... I think most thinking takes place in the perceptual stage. ... This perception is based on habits of
perceptions and what I hear, what I read and how I express myself. ... Perception is more than sensing; it is processing, reacting, and interpreting. Faith Bryne describes
perception as, “detecting the nature of both outer and inner worlds. ... ” (Perception, 57) Perception is the way we look at things and I think
processing is what we do with that perception. In my view if we take processing for granted then perception
becomes even more important, because the way we look at a situation will determine what we can do about it.
