Advantages &  Disadvantages of Perception

The advantage of this is that we continuously learn from what surrounds us,  we learn from past experience in order to anticipate the future, and thus act in a more appropriate way. The disadvantage is that we continuously stereotype  we base our opinions on our past experiences, i.e. in what we have learned through our cultural models and our own personal experiences, and we tend to make generalizations and judgments. We perceive and judge the world that surrounds us through our own cultural glasses.
