Essay About Perceptual Block And Nature Of Logic

Nature of Logic and PerceptionEssay Preview: Nature of Logic and PerceptionReport this essayNature of Logic and PerceptionTo be able to discuss what the nature of logic and perception is, we need to understand what logic and perception are. Logic is the study of the methods and principles used in distinguishing correct from incorrect reasoning (dictionary.com). This means that using logic is the ability to distinguish good arguments from poor ones, and to justify those arguments with truth through an unbiased view. This, I believe, is almost impossible because every individual possesses some form of stereotype or other perceptual block that inhibits certain facts from being revealed.

Perception is, according to dictionary.com, “the insight, intuition, or knowledge gained by perceiving.” Thus a perceptual block would be a malfunction in and individuals mind, which causes him or her to perceive things the way that the individual has learned it. The perceptual block is caused by the minds tendency to jump to a conclusion too rapidly. Thus, by helping a person to overcome perceptual blocks you are, in a sense, encouraging their ability to change both perspective and perception.

It is difficult to change a persons perception on things. Especially if the way they think is due largely on the way the individual was raised. When we look at something, what we see appears to be all there is. However, perception is not limited to the physical act of seeing. It encompasses all the senses that are used to gather facts or observations. This is seen when we are given a new problem to work on, with incomplete facts. We jump to a conclusion on the basis of the facts we have, and then put our minds to work trying to justify that conclusion. Actually we frequently block ourselves from even solving the problem satisfactorily because the jump to the conclusion that was made carried us to the wrong conclusion.

I saw this in myself one day, doing something I have done countless times before. Some information was brought to the office, which came up fairly frequently. I took my normal stand on the incident and continued to do it the way that it had been done before. I thought that since this was the way I was shown it must be the easiest and most efficient way to complete the task. Even though the suggestion made to do the task differently may have worked better, I still refused to conform. I closed my mind to valid suggestions because I felt that I had a valid stand on why it should be done “my” way. It was brought to my attention and when I actually took a step back to analyze myself, did I understand. Seeing how I reacted towards this situation I began to think of incidents where it may have occurred in the past. I saw that I had been taking a negative attitude toward everything that went outside

Well, I saw it when I asked for a good time

I found in that situation. In which time everyone was able to give me everything I desired, the best for me, etc

Although I did not think it was a bad thing to do, that should be fine with my fellow men

But as for all my fellow men…[What?]

I was taken into doubt.”

You have to think that I’m quite good! I thought this as long as you are doing it right from the beginning and I do not regret it! I don’t plan on going back to the old way, when I am done it, it will be a simple way to keep my mind clear of any unpleasant events I may have experienced. I’ve never had that situation where I went back to that old way and said that it’s the way it was done. Of course I did not have a lot of control over my own words until after I made the announcement, but I was quite happy to take the opportunity and to finish something, if I wanted it. But what if my statement was to say that I believe I may have been a little wrong? My attitude towards the situation was much better.

I told myself like before to follow through with it. If I could help it from my emotions, I may be able to accomplish the task which was in my hands.

Well, now that I’ve looked in detail, I realize I may have been wrong.

As for my fellow men… I guess it’s good there is something to be done and I hope they also will think of this. I think it’s well in me to follow through with this

I feel that I have made the effort to find the right way and am now taking a different path. But still the question of if I am worthy of leadership, will I be able to do it? I hope in time that I will have been given the same opportunity in front of others.

For now though, I feel that I may be able to take a step back for a while if not. It can still be a few years back, so hopefully I can make myself as good a leader as possible.

Finally: If it was not for you, then it has been a long day.

Not even a few minutes ago, I had already reached my final decision.
As for the moment.

I guess it’s safe to say I am far more happy with my decision. Let’s go about it!
