Judgment is an opinion that is made base upon the way we perceive knowledge, as well as it also is a cognitive process of reaching conclusion through the involvement of reasoning and evidence. Instinctive judgments, however, perceives knowledge and knowing without conscious reasoning. Instinct is innate (Henly 218-219). When judgments are made instinctively, it becomes a natural reaction to a situation without involving conscious reasoning. Thus, instinctive judgment can be defined as a combined way of knowing in which intuition is backed by sense perception. It plays the major role in making instinctive judgment. Human beings or any living kinds fight for survival, seek for shelters and reproduce off springs by instinct. For instance, I

This statement is stated by Benjamin Lee Whorf, an American linguist, on his work on the relation of habitual thoughts and behavior to language. He argued that, different languages represent different ways of thinking of the world around us, which is a theory called linguistic relativity. This is an idea that viewpoints vary from language to language, and it relies on linguistic determinism, an idea that language determines thoughts ("Language & Culture: The "Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis""). How strongly could the language we use determine our thoughts, hence judgments? Language shapes thoughts, as the use of linguistic system differs from language to language. For instance, the idea of time and numbering varies between Standard Average European Language and Hopi (native American language). In English, time and physical objects are both quantifiable in the same way, meaning time are objectified as physical quantity. Whereas in Hopi, unlike the concept of quantity of time you can ‘have’, the concept of time is considered as ‘becoming later’. The difference in linguistic system shapes the way to which speakers perceive knowledge differently from language to language. When we look into the values of language, it is far more than just the use in communicating and sharing knowledge. The influence of language is, in fact, runs far more profound to which the language we speak might, in certain extent, …show more content…
But how do we know if our instinctive judgment is not influenced by the inaccurate interpretation of our sense perception? Sense perception is both a check and an aid on instinctive judgment. Human beings are naturally given the ability to ‘feel’ and perceive the world through our senses to form knowledge. However, the color of the sky might not “always” be blue. For people who are color blind, they perceive the color of the sky differently from what we think it is. So is the color of the sky blue? Perhaps, we have been conceptualizing the world wrongly. How do we know if the instinctive judgments made are ‘right’ or
