Perception
We've recently touched on the topic, Perception, and i feel that this topic is very relavent and i could not agree more to the content. People tend to be bias to the people they favour and against the people they dislike. I feel that this is totally true! In the booklet, it states that this perception of thinking is called the attribution error. It is difficult for 1 to put oneself in someone else's perception especially when we have to judge against the 1 that we favour, but i know we still have to try so if not, others will judge your perception as a bias 1. so, try to put yourself in the different perception before making a comment. 1 incident that occured to me recently was the Fernando Verdasco incident. While watching tennis in my parent's room, i commented about him being vain as he is probably is one of the very very few guys who style their hair(his is a mohawk style) before every match. And i mean style and not tidy. Even the top6 in world did not style their hair, so why should he? Is he attending a party or what? However, i was then rebuked back by my mum saying that he was jus his personality of wanting the crowd to c the best of him. She also said that i should not critise him jus bcoz i dislike him. However, towards my favourite tennis player i would be very protective of any critics. Therefore, i realised that i have a bias view. To me, many issues or comment made contains biasness and we should be vigilant enough to spot it so as to not let these comment affect us.
