Do your perception is always right?

Perception is always related to the first expression that we make towards the very first time we experienced, such as meeting new people. Different people will be experiencing different perception towards the new person that they’re meeting because of the differences in perception such as the psychological factors. Different people has different lenses, the way they looking to that particular person might be different to how we look at that one person especially how the way he act. I might think he’s such a nice person but for my friend he’s not. Past experiences and roles take place on how we look at one person as we aware of what we have experienced from the past. For an example, as my mother doesn’t and never like cheese cause if she had cheese in her meals, she would vomit. So every food that is containing cheese even how good the taste is, she wouldn’t want to eat because she’s allergic to it

Sometimes people would make perceptual errors, not all of us would have a correct perception. Perceptual errors might be misleading to stereotyping and how we react to the first impressions. Stereotyping is when we’ve already put our own perception towards certain things such as when many people stereotype that all Chinese people only thing about money, whatever they do they’d thing money would comes first. But it’s all wrong, not all Chinese people are think about money, this is only happened when people is start stereotyping about others.

Other than that, perceptual errors would occurs when they’re already making their own assumption towards their first impression, such as people already make their assumption during the initial opinion about another person. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” would be the best quote so that people would not make assumptions before they know well about that one person so that perceptional errors would not occurs.
