TFY CHAPTER 4
Summary: Inferences are conclusions we derive from past experiences. They in no way are facts, simply just our interpretations about something. They can lead us to great knowledge, yet if not understood correctly, can lead us to confusion. Inferences can help us make a generalization about an observation. Generalizing the certainty of a situation is based on recurrance, order, relationship and evidence to believe it to be true.
Reflection: I completely agree with everything I have read in this chapter. I believe inferences are strictly subjective. Based on ones culture, values or upbringing, they may come up with different inferences then someone who sees life in a completely different way. If we arrive at a conclusion about something, it is based on association, and that can very from person to person.
