b.limited perceptions
c.classism
d.homophobia
e.the nonprejudiced discriminator

Answer 1

Limited perception

Explanation : The courage to define yourself. We must not allow other peoples limited perceptions to define us. It is hard to believe just how much time I’ve wasted worrying about how other people see me , what they have considered me to be , the value they have seen in me . I somehow grew up putting a great deal of value in other peoples perceptions or who I am and what I am worth , even when those people really have not known much about me at all. Because of this tendency , I have made many of my decisions in life based on what I have thought other people would think about me and my decisions and actions. I have rejected possible relationships because of what I thought other people would think about me if I went out with a certain person. I have not persuade certain careers because of the judgments that I was sure other people would pass on my choice of professions. I am not persuade certain passions because I do not want people to think less of me. I have also lost an amazing number of opportunities in my life and while I am not going to spend today regarding what I did and did not do yesterday I know that my life could have been much more fulfilling today if I had not worried so much about what others thought earlier in my life. I wanted to be the person that I thought others wanted to see so that they would accept me more fully but that acceptance would have been conditional which is the worst time of acceptance that we can possibly pursue. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The correct option is option b, Limited Perceptions

Step-by-step explanation:

Perception is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information, or the environment. Thus as the author is citing the examples in order to indicate the barriers through the identification of the statues via the sensory information, thus this is an indication of Limited Perception.
