Can someone define and differentiate the following words?
Can someone define and differentiate the following words? I know they sound somewhat similar to each other, but defining them and differentiating them would be helpful and useful in my understanding of the world.
choice
selection
preference
option
manifestation
bias
predilection
liking
tendency
affection
affinity
aptitude
leaning
penchant
inclination
predisposition
proclivity
propensity
prejudice
decision
deliberation
consideration
Also, since I have heard before that a choice latently contains conscious thought, then how do I describe a scenario where the "choice" is "unconscious"? For example, what if I want to draw a card from a hat, and I end up selecting a red card, out of all the other card colors. I never intentionally or consciously "chose" to pick the red card; I never felt any biases for picking the red card; I only "selected" it "randomly". How do I describe this? Bias? Choice? Unconscious choice? Accidental selection? Mindless, random choice?
