Messages Symbolize Parts of Reality.
Blog Entry 002 week 4
It is important to note that words and sentences are just representation of reality as in objects, people and events. Nevertheless, when a person acts as if words and sentences represent reality, this might demonstrate that the individual is intensional oriented if not acting with allness attitude. Intensional orientation is putting labels or schema on people, objects and events before checking first if the labels attached is indeed true. Extensional orientation is the opposite; people who seek evidence first then make a schema out of the acquired evidence. Allness thinking is putting things in categories without sufficient knowledge @ jumping into conclusion by drawing schema on the unknown things. Example is as shown below.
Situation
An elder sister tells everyone that her baby sister is a brat. Those who believe the elder sister before getting to know the baby sister is subjected to intensional orientation. The baby sister after several mistreatment by the strangers introduced by the elder sister, starts to conclude that all strangers are harmful, is showing a form of allness thinking. This situation could be overcome by applying extensional oriented approach.
