Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions 7 to 12.
The phrase “What is it like?” stands for a fundamental thought process. How
does one go about observing and reporting on things and events that occupy
segments of earth space? Of all the infinite variety of phenomena on the face
of the earth, how does one decide what phenomena to observe? There is no such
thing as a complete description of the earth or any part of
it, for every microscopic point on the earth’s surface differs from every other
such point. Experience shows that the things observed are already
familiar, because they are like phenomena that occur at home or because they
resemble the abstract images and models developed in the human mind.
How are abstract images formed? Humans alone among the animals possess
language; their words symbolize not only specific things but also mental images
of classes of things. People can remember what they have seen or experienced
because they attach a word symbol to them.
During the long record of our efforts to gain more and more knowledge about the
face of the earth as the human habitat, there has been a continuing interplay
between things and events. The direct observation through the senses is
described as a percept; the mental image is described as a concept. Percepts are what some people
describe as reality, in contrast to mental images, which are theoretical,
implying that they are not real.
The relation of Percept to Concept is not as simple as the definition implies.
It is now quite clear that people of different cultures or even individuals in
the same culture develop different mental images of reality and what they
perceive is a reflection of these preconceptions. The direct observation of
things and events on the face of the earth is so clearly a function of the
mental images of the mind of the observer that the whole idea of reality must
be reconsidered.
Concepts determine what the observer perceives, yet concepts are derived from
the generalizations of previous percepts. What happens is that the educated
observer is taught to accept a set of
concepts and then sharpens or changes these
concepts during a professional career. In any one field
of scholarship, professional opinion at one time determines what concepts and procedures are acceptable, and these
form a kind of model of scholarly behaviour.
