generalization and which point of view??

Filed under: just thought — d35y @ 2:01 pm

i remember that i’ve ever read a book written by David Gamon, Phd.it is said that in our brain we use to make some perception caused by common assumption and information .sometimes it help us to make a quick decision if we faced some complicated problem, but sometimes it cause a dissaray conclusion.

here one case :-is this story is true or false?

there’s a man with his little child crossing the street and suddenly his little son accidentally crashed into a car .the father die suddenly, but the son get bad injured. the little was taken to hospital and placed in emergency room, then the doctor said “God i cant aid my own son!”

from this story you feel something bizzare??

the confusing impact from this story is caused by assumption that the doctor is a male not a female, and the doctor is the little child MOTHER. most of people will hold on in this assumption and they will struggle to find the explanation to make the story make sense, without considering the doctor is a male.

some people always made an assumption and generalization without think deeper
I.e, -the terrorist is moslem then All moslem are terrorist
-Jilland post is anti moslem , Jilland posten is Danish then All Danish are anti moslem

(sorry i forgot some symbol from rule of generalization i only got ‘C’ on A.I course ;p)
those two expression are simple primitive instruction that apply on machine but we are different, we are human we complicated and not primitive, we have feeling and sometimes based on intuitition , and its a normal reaction we angry if someone that we love more than our life is being insult.
but if some moslem do some violent it doesnt mean that islam is vandals

i read some comment on some newsblogs(it feels like World War III happen there :p ) i recommend this one http://ming.tv some of them said that the reason why the danish refuse the goverment to applogize because they persistent that Not ALL danish do that mistake, and if they admit the goverment to applogize that’s mean ALL danish are intolerant,if this the true reason i think we can understand, but some people who hear this the first reaction without considering the reason they will think that the denmark goverment is arrogant.
and use “freedom of expression” just for shield to insult moslem.

but whatever ever ever….!! i only use my freedom of expression here, and nothing wrong if i eat some of butter cookies with cup of hot tea…(not all butter cookies are made by danish and i bet you dont want to know what kind of butter cookies i ate right?? hahaha!)
