Self-perception is a vital aspect of behavior in settings that are characterized by self-knowledge and background. Many individuals in an educational environment are often dubious of their prosperity in a course of study. The presence of limited self knowledge causes individuals to use past successes and failures to discover their unknown traits, even if they are false. Their perceived ability determines whether they will take a particular course of action and effects crucial decisions such as whether or not to undergo a challenge, and whether to persevere or drop out in response to failure. The effects of self-perception is what determines the level of triumph encountered in one’s lifetime and is also the factor that influences your beliefs and maximizes your potential.

Self-perception is the wicked mastermind behind many global issues. In the modern society, it has caused the human race to be blinded from the truth in ways that lead to violence and destruction. Our realization is not reality. Incessant exposure of media violence not only leads to greater bullying and violence, which is often criticized, but it is important to understand how it affects desensitization. From a young age, we are taught to side with peace, yet perception seems to captivate one’s true understanding. Explanations and examples of stereotype effects are highlighted to present the additional nuances and implications on self-perception and global development.

We want to learn that all is tolerable when things go downhill. Our society has managed to stereotype certain religious and ethnic groups today in such a manner where we continue to discriminate them as we are blinded by perception. We say "never again," yet we are heedless of such enormity. Our mind is empowering and will continue to strangle our senses until the human race discovers separate existence.
