INTERNAL/EXTERNAL

Internal factors that influence our perception could be our five senses because if we feel or see something that is rough we have a rough perception of it. Or if we listen to a high sound we have a different perception of it than if it would be a low sound. Also if we taste something that we don’t like our perception of the other foods that are the same or related to it will be bad. For example I can’t even see seafood yet the only seafood I’ve tasted are fish and shrimp.

External factors can be our community and what shapes it. If one lives in a religious community, the perception one has of God is a glorious one; different to a person who lives in a non-religious community who probably doesn’t even believe in God. Also, your family shapes your perception too. This is because it is the people you live with and whom surround you, influencing greatly your perception of the world and everything in it.
