Your text presents several Influences on Perception (Access to Information, Physiological, Cultural Differences, & Social Roles). Explain each influence and include an example of when you have observed those influences in your perception.
PART TWO:
Enhance your cognitive complexity by applying the “pillow method’ in a significant disagreement. Explain how your expanded view of this situation might affect your communication with the other(s) involved.
INSTRUCTIONS
Select one disagreement or other issue that is now affecting an interpersonal relationship. It's always better to choose an actual disagreement you are literally experiencing or that you have experienced that is unresolved. This is not a global or political disagreement. This is something between you and someone else.
EXAMPLES
This might be as issue such as “I think our children should go to private school; my spouse want them to go to private school
A disagreement such as “I think voting for a third party helps democracy in our country; my friend thinks it undermines democracy by drawing votes away from the two major parties.”
