Universal Differences of Perception and the Legal System

Abstract

A lawsuit begins with "differences of perception" between plaintiff and defendant. This "differences of perception" would not be dissolved in court. Mutual "differences of perception" would remain or be amplified even at the closing of a case. The "differences of perception" have been studied from the medical viewpoint using mathematically modeled ambiguous figures. It has then been made clear that in lawsuit the subsequent perception is tied to the stereotype that each party holds from the beginning. This is a cerebral physiological event and is essentially what it takes to live a life as a human. For this reason "differences of perception" will not go away, regardless of the lengths to which each party goes in order to clarify his or her own position in the court. Differences of perception", if left unresolved, can become even greater and lead to a spiral of mistrust. They are the fate of humanity but the consequences can be enormous: they can lead to the collapse of the framework of a healthy society which has been established over many years. Human beings, therefore, are obliged to make efforts to dissolve "differences of perception".
