Explanation:

The perception can be defined as the way a person, thing, or situation is noticed, understood, and responded to by using our senses. Every individual has its own perception, as every individual is different. The perception is influenced by lot of things such as culture, education, religion, or in general the surroundings. Despite these influences, every person has its own unique mindset, and that is also crucial for the perception. This results in lot of different perceptions for the same thing, person, or situation, and while this is good so that something can be perceived from several different perceptions, unfortunately it also leads to lot of conflict situations.
