The variety of sounds, smells and colors of each place I've visited, make my perception with respect to each one different, hence, my mood varies. For example, if I arrive to one warm weather city, first, I feel drowsy, but after 3 hours, mi behavior changes and I get more cheerful. In the other hand, if I'm on a moor, I don't want to do anything but lie down.

In the biggest cities, most people live with high stress levels, with air pollution in their lungs, so these people take advantage of their vacation to go to places free of noise and pollution, and they felt well, free. Then, I think that if you live in a calm place, for example in the countryside and you go to the capital city, where the lifestyle is so different, you'd have problems with your mood, your nerves would be on edge, you'd have a headache because of the stress.

For example, I do not like the beach or the sea so, while it could be a wonderful vacation for some people, for other like me it may not be so pleasant. The same thing happens with people, each of us relates differently to the others. Those relationships between people, our senses and our desires are the things that build the perception of our surroundings.

in my opinion is very important each one of the factors, because our environment is based on what we prefer, for example, if I decide to go to parties knowing that I don’t like noise, I won’t enjoy it as if I really like it, we are influenced not only by our natural environment but also by a social environment, and at the end of the day, all of this influence in our daily life.
How can these factors influence our perception of surroundings positively and negatively?
For this question I will take as a reference my life, specifically how the changes in my home affects me when I study, for example, if my room is not tidy, I will hardly be able to study, the smells, the temperature are factors that affect my daily life, but on the other hand, if my house is tidy, with everything in place and clean, this will make my willingness to study positive.

It is almost the same as before because we always use to connect or relate surroundings with memories and then, inside us, we decide if changes in surroundings are good or if they are something we hate. Those changes can affect our feelings, if they are unknown or bizarre we will feel uncomfortable but if they are related or they remind us of something known we will feel good and in our comfort zone

Well, If it is about something we definitely don't like, like the heat, some kind of music an things like those, we will be mad and anxious but if we are with friends on a walk or cooking we will feel good for sure.

1. How important are these factors in influencing our perception of our surroundings?
The factors that was mentioned above are important in our perception of places because if we are in a place and there is an annoying factor, that in my case would be the heat, I will not feel good because it is something that I can’t control and even if I try to tolerate the uncomfortableness It will not disappear, so I think that if we are in a similar situation with any other factor that bothers us, the most likely thing is that we want to leave there and we could think that that place is horrible.
2. How can these factors influence our perception of surroundings positively and negatively?
These factors can influence our perception negatively or positively with respect to the environment in which we are, if we are in a place with people who bother us or with whom we do not feel well, we probably hate that place and see only the negative aspects at first people, then the light, then the temperature and with the passage of time if we do not go we will get stressed and maybe we will get angry as an unconscious means to express our discomfort, but if the opposite happens we will be very happy and although many negative things happen we will not stop feeling good if what matters most to us is in our favor.
