Abercrombie states that the human brain plays an active role in shaping the information presented to us, based on our own past experiences. Kahneman states that the human mind uses two systems of thought, System 1 and System 2, where System 2 is more active and demanding than System 1. I will try to illustrate how Abercrombie and Kahneman's ideal concepts of reality perception are applicable to situations real, referring to the following three readings: Jung's “The Personal and Collective Unconscious”, Plato's “Allegory of the Cave” and Andersen's “The Emperor's New Clothes”. The three readings refer to Abercrombie and Kahneman, considering the overlapping concepts of reality, the fact that words and metaphors structure our understanding of what is real, that reality can be altered from different perspectives and that ignorance can actually be bliss. ”t, MLJ Abercrombie discusses how information is acquired through our perception. Abercrombie argues that interpretation is a very complicated task that people learn to do from birth.

Despite these conflicts over what people believe is the truth or a false reality, I argue that people should accept the fact that people have different interpretations and perspectives of reality.
