1. We are humans, thus we are definitely not perfect. We make a considerably amount of mistakes, whether we know it or not.
2. This brings me to my point that well, unfortunately, witnesses's witness on a particular event cannot be trusted entirely.
3. The reasons being:
(a) ENHANCED by drugs, regular exercise, chilli, coffee, sleep, binoculars, glasses, electronics etc.
(b) DISTRACTED while we focus on something else.
(c) MISTAKEN as we are humans and have our own prejudices.
4. Yes, I do admit that a lot of factors influence our perception, but they cannot be not trusted completely. This is because eyewitnesses' witness are at time in certain cases are the only evidence thus it help polices to narrow down their suspects. Yet again, our perceptions vary too much to be taken in account and they do result in innocent people being dealt with instead.
5. Therefore, I would like to say that we cannot altogether trust eyewitnesses account. We cannot use eyewitnesses as a concrete evidence to prove someone guilty. We need to have concrete evidence that cannot be biased in any way or other in order to prove that someone is guilty.
Selectivity Perception
A child dying in poverty as seen by a doctor, economist, a social worker, the child’s father.
Doctor (Nicole) : Inability for medical aid to reach poor people.
Social worker (Kai Song): We should help those who do not have the ability to support their child/ family. We are responsible to bring them up maybe in orphanages.
Economist (Maxwell) : Economic gap is getting bigger and this is not a healthy thing for a society. We should try to find out ways to improve the social and living condition, by providing mor job opportunities.
Child's father (Bryan): I think that it is very sad o see my child dying in front of my eyes but I really do not have the ability to provide him with what he is entitled to. I felt sorry but I too hope that there will be aid from the society to help the poors.
A sunset as seen by a religious figure, a physicist, an artist, a farmer.
Religious figure (Bryan): Nothing is eternal. Everyone will die one day, no matter how healthy you are, how wealthy you are. Like the sun, it will set one day. Pray, listen to God, and you will have a wonderful life after death.
Artist (Nicole): This is a perfect opportunity for me to express the beauty of nature.
Physicist (Kai Song): *Cough* Listen carefully, this is caused by the earth rotating around the axis. Isaac Newton has discovered gravity.... bla bla bla bla bla
Farmer (Maxwell) : End of a day, I can finally go home, what a hard day!
A tree as seen by a biologist, a logger, an environmentalist, a native from Sarawak.
Logger (Nicole): The forest is a gold mine.*sings* "Money money money, must be funny, in a rich man's world"
A biologist (Bryan): To the logger, please stop cutting down tress as they lock up carbon dioxide.Without tress, there will be a rise in the earth's temperature..... *Continues the 30 minutes lecture*
An environmentalist (Maxwell): We borrowed nature from God and we owed it from the future generation.
There you have it. Our very argumentative group with two distracted souls. The other two are sane, at least. Or not? Who knows.
Tata,
Nicole.
