본문내용

서론 (Introduction)
In our daily life, we look at a number of things and interpret them either consciously or unconsciously. One’s interpretation of a subject can be unique and differ from others. But why do people have different interpretations towards a same subject? Before answer this question, we first need to think about the nature of truth. If someone ask me whether truth exists, then I would say yes but not possible to find. There might be an objective truth somewhere but this becomes subjective when it is perceived by us. This is because “we see and understand things not as they are but as we are.” Seeing is one form of perception, the process of raising our awareness through our senses.

On the other hand, in some cases our perspectives are not affected by language, when it has nothing to do with our emotion. Biologically, before we see something, we first go through the process of selecting a subject. Emotionally-arousing subjects can be more easily appealing to people’s eyes and grab their attention, increasing their possibility to be selected. Then information of a chosen subject is transferred to our brain, and it interprets the signals as what we are seeing.3 Each knower is biologically different. Because of this, people see differently and perceive differently.
