"Doubt is the key to knowledge. To what extent is this true in perception?"



1) I do believe doubt is they key to knowledge, because without doubt, we would not be inspired to learn anything new. It is totally true in perception, because the knowledge you gain is put in your perception on how you view things.
2) Cultural Example- You may have a single story about some place, let's say Irak. You can believe everything they say on the news about Irak, on how everything has been destroyed, and the war, etc, or you can doubt what these people on television say, and find out about Irak, and see the beautiful places it has to offer, or the beautiful and friendly people that live there. Therefore, what you find out thanks to your doubt, becomes your perception about the world, in this case, Irak.
3) School Example- Your teacher can tell you something you may believe differently, therefore your doubt will take you to find out something your teacher may have said wrong. You correct your teacher and help both of your perceptions.
4) Personal Life- The experts are usually right when they say the world is round, or when they tell you about the planets, etc, so based on the experts' view of things, you gain your own knowledge and perception.
