One time that I drew
the wrong conclusion was when I accused someone I know of being lazy and not
wanting to work all the time. This individual always asked to switch shifts
with me and it was really getting annoying. Only later did I find out that he
was having serious problems with his family and suffering from depression and a
lack of sleep. I understood and felt really bad for my assumptions. I think that
it’s very important to find out all the details before you make a conclusion
about something. After learning about his situation I was a lot more
understanding and tried my best to always switch my shifts to help him out. The
role scientific knowledge played in correcting the misperception was being able
to observe the way that he looked. When I worked with him he always looked like
he was in a daze and never really completely there. That was the first thing
that I noticed. I should have known from that point, however, it didn't occur to
me and I was blinded by my assumptions.
