Essay.

  1. General Question:
    • When should we trust our senses to give us truth?
  2. Knowledge Issue:
    • To what extent do reason, emotion and language affect our sense perception?
  3. Main Points:
    • Language: If im reading a poem and i dont know half of the words in it it can hinder the way I feel towards that poem, if i like it or not or if i understand it or not. 
    • Emotion: It can affect our sense perseption depending on how we are feeling. For example, I love ice cream but maybe one day my dog dies and i eat ice cream but it doesnt taste as delicious as it did before because of how sad im feeling. Another example,  your mom makes dog meat for dinner and because you love dogs you wouldnt think they are made to be eaten therefore you inmediatly categorize dog meat as disgusting because of the way you feel towards dogs and maybe it is the best meat ever but you wouldnt know bc you got tricked by your emotions
    • Reason:  Reason can change the way you receive information. For example, if i read a poem and i dont know the meaning of half of the words in it that would probably affect the way i feel towards the poem, if i like it or not, if i understood it or not....
  4. Contraargument:
    • Reason is the only one of the 3 that is not going to affect your sense perseption.
WAHH!
