In My Own Words:

Perception is the way in which people see things in their own way with the use of emotion and create a judgement without any or much evidence.


An example of perception is when someone sees an advertisement of a detergent with a lady holding a towel to her face. This indicates that the detergent advertised makes your washing soft and smooth.
