Lindsey Gilroy-Reality Behind the World

During a class discussion in early September I remember a discussion on the way that people perceive images. The example that we used in class was of a person seeing a candle, and understanding it to be a candle because of the way that they identify a candle to be. While this sound complex and a bit confusing, it all makes sense. Perception, as defined in class, is the space and time conception of how you conceptualize an image. While you may seen something and interpret it in one way, it is just your senses being stimulated to perceive it in that way. It gives way to understanding why people interpret and perceive the same thing, differently.
