Someone deems doing things right where others to wrong. In this conflicting situation, what will be the determinants to perceive whose perception is beyond repugnant?
Perception is a rather complex thing. It is far more than just perceiving in an objective way. Perception depends on people's past, people's interpretation, people'e aspirations, People's preferences. I know from a friend in secondary school a couple of decades ago, who was afraid that his girlfriend might be pregnant. He told me that suddenly so many women with baby strollers were where he was. I think that not a single one more was there that usually, but his perception was different than earlier, when he just did not perceive them.......
I guess it's (perception) different from one person to another because humans are unique. I agree with Eberhard Weber. Different people have different experiences. Humans have the faculty of 'mind'..
and humans have the 'free will'. Indeed that shapes their 'worldview'.
Perception has a lot to do with cultural knowledge, belonging (to a free choosen group of peers) and personal experiences...
There even is a field called perception psychology - see my following pictures about optical illusions...
Another field of perception and "truth" - again, here you can see it is about knowledge and experience - and mislead knowledge/experience...

Thanks a lot for your valuable opinion,
But, Is there any way to find out whose perception is right in any specific issues?

Dear Saidur,
what is right and what is wrong sometimes lies in the eye of the observer who is judging...
Example: is a lunch hot and tasty or not...
Do you have a specific

People from diverse cultures operate out of different principles. As for taking attendance, a professor has the right to make that choice for his/her own class. Some teachers calculate a small margin of the overal grade into the students attendance. Others believe it is a students right to choose to benefit from going to, learning, and participating in a class that they paid for. Professors who operate in different ways believe students have other responsibilities. Neither is right nor wrong, they simply operate from different views.
