Perceive: As I was reading my sociology book about three days ago I wasn't sure of what this word meant. I tried to figure out what it meant by just rereading the sentence over and over again but that didn't work. My thoughts were that it meant the same thing as receive since they have familiar sounds. I searched what it meant and perceive means to become aware or conscious of something. I found out that just because words might sound the same or rhyme they don't necessarily have the same meaning. Perceive relates to what I was reading by becoming aware of the communities surroundings and not let anything that can be damaging to them. I know that I always perceive in my classes and know what is going on at all times.
