In this instance, perception gives a sense of security and normalcy. What tools, as individuals, are employed to arrive at this perception? Perception is the process humans use to gain insight of the reality of circumstances using the information the senses provide. The combination of perception, cognition and understanding separates humans from the animal kingdom allowing either collectively or individually the ability to learn and to know a certain reality. An individual one can perceive a situation far from the facts. One’s sensing and memory processes can block logic and influence perception. Teaching oneself the art of critical thinking one can recognize that quiet, tree lined streets may give an illusion of security and normally. Individuals begin at an early age the process of thought and perception, thus, setting the stage for the sensing process and memory. Senses allow humans to experience the world using the entire collective of human sensory perceptions: hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, and touching. When the senses work in unison with each other delivering information to the brain, in a millisecond the brain attaches implication to the information based on socialization and experience. The sensing process adds to recognition of the stimuli from the external world, and we to react or take an...

The task is therefore quite different to your assignment this semester. For example, this semester you have been asked to analyse a case study provided to you. Last semester students had to write their own scenario and analyse specific OB issues. The word count for each section also differs from the requirements this semester. However, the assignment will give you a good idea of the following: what critical analysis looks like, how to present your recommendations in table format and how your list of references should be presented (the Harvard Referencing system available on the USQ library site).
