Logic and Perception Paper
The concept of Logic and how one perceives Logic is a personal opinion that is intertwined with personal experiences. Understanding how people think and make their daily decisions is a factor to their Logic. Logic will work as a guide that will help with the critical thinking process. Critical thinking process will not start until a question is asked. Critical thinking invokes asking several questions.
Most of society does not realize the amount of logic that goes into the critical thinking process. Each person has their own perception to any situation and it is received through visual, audible, and individual perception. There are several factors that will come into being that will influence individual perception. Perception is influenced by a repetitive process that is developed over time. For example, I was recently involved in an automobile accident. Upon talking to each witness there was as many different stories as to what happened as there was witnesses. Some of the witnesses said that I was racing the other individual, some of the witnesses said that the other individual was acting in a road rage manner, and some of the witnesses said that I was stop at a light and was struck from behind. Each witness had seen the exact same incident and each one perceived it differently.
Another perception is that by listening to the national press our society would believe that we are doing bad things in Iraq. Stories that are not told by the national press is that farmers have irrigation for their crops that they have not had in over 20 years, Villages have power that they have not had in over 20 years, Tribes have local schools to teach all children regardless of race, sex, and religion. The press tells us how there were car bombing after car bombing and it killed innocent people, and how the people of Iraq do not want
