Cultural Influences on Perception

Sensation refers to an actual event; perception refers to how we interpret the event. What are some cultural differences that might affect responses to particular stimuli? Create a post using examples from the text as well as your own experiences. STEP 1 (due Wednesday 11/18): First, write a response with at least EIGHT substantial sentences, integrating concepts you learned from the textbook reading and other materials (include links when necessary). Providing empirical support for your comments would be helpful. Show that you can think critically on the topic by integrating your own thoughts, analysis, or experiences. STEP 2 (due Sunday 11/22): Return to the discussion to comment on at least ONE classmate’s post (in at least FIVE sentences). Expand on a classmate’s comments in a value-adding, topic-related way. Promote a collaborative, supportive community, and advance the dialogue through follow-up questions. Reply posts cannot be one-liners, off-topic posts, vague statements, unsupported opinions, inadequate explanations or simply say, “I agree” or “good job.” Make sure you have two posts total (Your initial counts as one).
