"Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment and that people selectively interpret what they see on basis of their interest, background, experience, and attitudes".
An example of perception is when I go to Italy with my family, everyone looks at me amazed, simply because I come from New York. They think my clothing, my trip expense, and my living of life is just handed over to me and I don't work for anything. Besides the fact I do come from the greatest city of all, they don't understand or see how I work everyday of my life. I am at school twice a week and work five times a week. Everything I have and everything I want, I work for it and save it. I have a lot of bills to pay for as well.
