between objects during childhood. There is a wide variation of hypotheses. Research is still being pursued to identify what happens in a brain that causes such cross-wiring and what does not happen to cause people to have so-called “normal” sensory perceptions.

Many have probably asked this question at least once in their lifetime: Who am I? At least this is what I ponder at times, especially after watching science fiction movies like The Matrix or Her. Am I a human being, a high functioning artificial intelligence, or something else? Although it is fun to entertain the idea of what I am, I am almost certain that I am human. In this essay, I will argue that I know that I am a human being. I will begin by introducing the properties of human beings. Next…

complete the job. This is ultimately the knower’s perspective at work. Without their perspective, it would be extremely difficult to gain knowledge. Perception includes the five senses such as the sense of touch, sight, smell, hearing, and taste. Without these senses or ways to perceive life it would be almost impossible to pursue knowledge, but with perception one may obtain false knowledge.…

Disability may only be a matter of judgement. This concept appears in Homer and Langley, where Edgar Lawrence Doctorow depicts the possibilities in the life of a blind protagonist, Homer Collyer. Although Homer discerns darkness in a negative connotation, darkness can only be seen and sight is not the only sense for humans. Thus, blindness does not replace the senses or disconnect the Collyer brothers from the world. In a passage on page 159, Langley Collyer’s theory of replacement enables Homer…

Through, the ages, many notable writers such as Plato and Bacon tried to provide their own answer to the age-old question. For example, Plato a profound Athenian philosopher, known for his literary work, The Republic, offers a satisfactory answer to what he believes to be the stem of knowledge and…

The cognitive abilities and processes have a massive influence on a person’s behavior adjustment compared to the sway that is grounded on the physical surroundings. The personality of a person is more activated and ignited by particular perceptions in their mental being. More so, people’s behaviors are articulated by what they perceive and what is stored in their memories.

My admiration has become an obsession to understand and I am trying to envisage you with my superficial knowledge but it’s abstruse, because my knowledge is like a needle in an ocean. You’re concealed from my perceptions but yet you are closer to my jugular veins, where blood is pertinent, which impels from my head and ensue to the heart and that 's where you have placed me, I am the soul representing the body with senses, I feel and yet I cannot see, because it’s…

described by words that relate to outward expressions. Meanwhile in America, language was being used to describe depression in more of an inward sense. This implies that language has buried itself in cultures as well and that cultures heavily influence perception. This can be seen because the differences between Japanese and American outlooks on depression “were not simply linguistic differences but cultural ‘variations in the subjective meanings and experience of depression’” (Watters 522).…

recognition, thus forming perception. Perception also includes how we respond to the information. Completely, perception is a process where we take in sensory information from our environment and use that information to interact with our environment.
