Perception Post

"Doubt is the key to knowledge” (Persian Proverb). To what extent is this true in Perception?

-Opinion:
This is true in perception because every single person may doubt about different things, as also, people perceive things differently. Doubting makes people go and investigate things by themselves, as well as for personal experiences. This are ways of gaining knowledge.

-Cultural example:
People in America live in a completely different culture than those in Africa. Most of the time, American people do not know how things are in the other side of the world, how they live and what their beliefs are. For this reason, people would go and investigate, because this whole concept of doubting and not having an 100% sure answer is taking over their minds. Finally they investigate, and of course, some knowledge is gained. This whole thing of doubting is due to their perception of the other people's culture, as knowledge is gained when you perceive something something completely out of the blue that catches you attention.

-School example:
History class is a perfect example. The role of perception is really important in this class, since there are some people who agree and disagree with the events that have happened through out time. As you gain your point of interest in the class, there is no way you are going to know about the event that happened 300 years ago, so some research is needed, so then you would have no doubts about the reason of the war.

-Personal example:
Religion is an important aspect in my life. I have my perception about things and no one can make me change decision. Still, with religion, nothing is completely proven, so there are millions of doubts passing through people's minds. So, as new discoveries are made and new predictions are done, people is gaining knowledge.
