PHI 105 Topic 2 Assignment: Perception Presentation

Imagine you are an expert on critical thinking. You have been asked to give a presentation on the concepts
of perception and critical thinking. Create a PowerPoint that contains the following:.

Eight slides (one title slide, six content slides, and one reference slide) How all five senses impact perception The role of perception in critical thinking Speaker notes that elaborate on the bulleted content on your slides Three resources (one from the library, and two from outside research) Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Review the PowerPoint tutorial on the Microsoft website accessible through the GCU library for help with
how to use Microsoft PowerPoint. See this week’s readings for the link.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

The concepts of perception and critical thinking

Introduction

Perceptual awareness is the ability to perceive things, both through the senses and through thought. It’s also called critical thinking, or just plain old “thinking.” Perceptual awareness is the foundation for all of your critical thinking skills—and it can help you critically analyze your own experience in order to understand how people see things differently from you.

Perceptual Awareness

Perception is the ability to see, hear, feel and smell. It’s also the ability to understand what you see, hear and feel. Perceptual awareness means that you have a sense of knowing how your senses work together so that you can make sense of what’s going on around you. Here are some examples:

• You know when something smells like gas because it smells different than usual; for example if there were several people in your house, then someone would say: “The gas has started!” Then another person would respond by saying: “No! It hasn’t started yet.” If someone else said “Yes it did,” then both people would get upset because they weren’t talking about the same thing at all.*

• When looking at an object (for example), we notice its shape first before focusing on color or texture.*

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is a way of thinking that helps us to make good decisions. It involves asking questions, considering evidence and making judgments.

Critical thinking is not the same thing as critical judgment. While these two concepts are closely related—they both require one to consider an issue from multiple perspectives and make reasoned decisions based on those considerations—they are not identical. For example, when you are using your critical thinking skills in making decisions about something such as whether or not to buy an item at a store, you may have several options available: purchase one option over another; wait until more information becomes available before making any decision (this could mean holding off until after Christmas); or hold off altogether because there isn’t enough time left before closing time closes all sales except for those items which were bought during regular business hours only.”

Paying Attention

Paying attention is a skill. And like any other skill, it can be taught and learned.

In fact, there are different types of attention:

• Sensory attention involves paying attention to the world around us through our senses—our eyesight, hearing, touch and smell.

• Cognitive (or mental) attention involves our thoughts about the things we see or hear in the world around us.

Discovering Truth

To discover truth, you must first learn how to use critical thinking. This can be done by practicing the skills of questioning and analyzing information. When you are working on a project or an essay, it is important that you ask yourself questions like “What do I know?” and “How do my thoughts make me feel?” Then, after answering those questions in order, decide what conclusions they lead you to make about the situation at hand. Finally, evaluate these conclusions using logic and reason so as not only get rid of any biases or preconceived notions but also check if there might be anything wrong with them when put into context with other pieces of evidence from different sources (if possible).

This process will help improve your ability at making logical decisions based on facts instead of emotions or feelings towards them which could lead us into making bad decisions later down our lives if we weren’t careful enough during those formative years where our brains were still developing instead being trained properly now days!

Conclusion

We hope this article has given you a better sense of how critical thinking and perceptual awareness work together. Perceptual awareness is the first step in the process of learning how to think critically, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. If you want your child to develop into an independent thinker who can make informed decisions about the world around them, then teaching him or her about critical thinking is vital—even if it means slowing down or pausing for a moment here and there!
