Shades of Perception
We all know that each person thinks and behaves, to some extent, differently than others do. We realize that all people have their own concept of reality; therefore, that personal perception is what guides a person's ideas and activities. Between right and wrong, black and white, are many levels of gray within us. Participants will be led through a discussion of the shades of gray, the great variability determining an individual's perception of reality, in the context of violent crime.
