Self Reflection
Yolunda Mike Individual Work Week 4

Self-reflection lets us monitor our communication and adjusts it to be effective; it also allows us

to recognize our core values, not only by naming what we value, but also the importance of it to

us. Along with our values and by taking time to reflect on our own self, we can start to clarify

our own personal vision of what we want to be. We reflect on ourselves in every kind of aspect

in our social atmospheres. The way we interact with each other differs from culture to culture

due to the fact that they may have different values, cultures and views. We have to remind

ourselves of that in each part of our social lives as well as different cultures having different

value views.

Perception is many things. It is the here and now of our lives. It is the moment that we are aware

of what’s going on in our environment. Perception is the present from which our memories of

the past and thoughts of our future are created by the brain. Perception is also what happens to

stimuli from the environment after it has been transformed into electrochemical impulses within

the brain. This is how stimuli is organized to give us the best chance of recognizing stimuli

whether it be complex ones such as; speech or sign language.

Language enables us to think hypothetically because we use symbols. This means that we can predict things that will happen even though we have not experienced them yet. Language also allows hypothetical thought as it gives one a much broader perspective of self-reflection and thought.

    A person’s perception is ever changing. I explain perception as the way a person interprets and organizes information they receive and put it into context. Simply, perception is the totality of a person’s points of view, or their point of view on anything specified. It can be said that the earliest stages of one’s life can be the most influential on their development of perception. Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist/philosopher (Known as the “Father of Developmental Psychology”) suggested that children actively organize and adapt their thoughts to gain an understanding of the world. People gain the ability to perceive and create our own independent thought while we are children, unconsciously practicing perception on small things that only a child could see as important. During early adolescents the amount of things we gain perceptions on increases, and we gain our first perceptions of the world.…

    The process of perception takes place when someone organizes their sense of reality in a way that is meaningful to them (Gordon, 2001). Essentially, perception refers to a person’s interpretation of reality. Interpretations of a situation can vary, and purely objective perceptions are rare. People often suffer from distortions in perception that can skew their understanding of the world around them, thus contributing to poor decision making and missed opportunities.…

    The debate on whether ‘language is the dress of thought’ originates in ancient Greece when Aristotle discussed the possibility that the thinking pattern influences to a certain degree the evolution of language (He, 2011: 1). The concept that language is ‘merely a reflection of thought and the objective world’ (He, 2011: 1) was re-examined several times throughout history; the conclusions drawn give us a new interpretation of language determinism.…
