Personality, Perception and Attribution & Attitudes, Values

A situation in which a person responds to you is very unpredictable, this means that in every little situation every single person is going to think, act, and respond in a different way. As we all know, we might have many people who agree with you and share many things in common, but every single one human in this world is different.

Personality is something that characterizes each and every one of us; in general you can say and get to know someone’s personality, but so many things are attached to it, that to know or describe it completely is almost impossible.  Morals, values, ethics, and beliefs can make you think that if in a situation would happened you would act in a way, but that is a lie, because you will never know what you will do or say in every exact situation. (BURGER, 2008)

Perception is more of an external way of a person to respond to, it all depends on all your senses on how you feel, smell, hear, see, and taste, all of these give you perceptions on things and then comes your way on responding to these. Imagine a fight in the streets where three people are hitting an old man and you perceive that he is the victim, but one of the men beating the other, his perception is that the old man raped his little girl, than things change and as we see, everyone is different and perceives different.

To what do you attribute the success of JICA?
I consider it to be successful do to all the orientations it has to do good in this world; it concentrates on promoting cooperation, transparency, accountability, developing assistance schemes for evolving countries, provides support to environmental efforts, has priorities like promoting well being, harmonization and alignment for effective aid delivery.  All of this promotes international cooperation and are topics that are a reality and very few take into account. (Japan International Cooperation Agency, 1995-2008)
