A assumption turns out to be the consideration of an issue or situation as true. “If we don't go to her birthday party, surely, Maria, she will be very angry, we will have to make the effort.”
Facts that are taken for certain based on beliefs, experiences, data, even if they have not been verified
Too, what we assume or take for granted it is an assumption. "I guess by now the plane must have arrived, we must hurry.”
And at the behest of the logic, an assumption implies the meaning of one word instead of another.
Whenever we suppose something we will be making a guess, that is, forming an opinion based on the facts and observations that we make, or failing that, through comparisons that we make with respect to similar events or situations that we have already gone through in the past, or also from the management of certain information or data that comes to us about an issue, and that by case allows us to venture on something.
Difference with the hypothesis and salient characteristics
Although the assumption and hypothesis are often spoken of interchangeably, they are not the same, far from it, since the hypothesis is the next step that proceeds to the provisional conclusion of a work, which results especially from observation and experimentation. of the case in question.
So, in order to better recognize it, in an assumption, we always find the following characteristics: the data that is attributed is real, the data is mentioned as safe, there is no investigation around the data, the consequences result from the data offered and it is based solely on speculation and opinions of the actors involved.
The assumption turns out to be an activity that human beings frequently carry out in the infinity of areas in which we intervene; In our personal life, at work, among others, assumptions normally arise in the face of the different situations that arise or are expected to happen.
In other words, it is a typically human action, often unavoidable and carried out naturally.
Now, on some occasions, intuition, experience, information, or what we think, fails us and then we can make assumptions that do not occur or are true, and in these cases it is that we can cause the anger of people who are involved.
Precautions when guessing about third parties
You always have to be very careful when guessing and especially if you are doing it about sensitive third parties, sometimes, it is better to wait for things to occur and have their effects, than to anticipate thinking or doing something.
For example, my sister always lends me clothes and so I decide to wear her a dress without consulting her because I suppose it won't bother her, but oops, it does happen, and she gets upset, because that dress I used was new and she hadn't worn it.
What we assume is given as true even when it did not actually happen or there is no evidence.
I can see a friend cry and suppose that she does it because she fought with her partner, but until she confirms it, it cannot be taken for granted, because she may cry because she was hit or because she lost her job, among so many possibilities.
In contexts or situations such as those mentioned, the assumption can bring us a problem as we have already pointed out or only make a mistake that does not produce serious consequences, however, there are areas in which assuming has no value in any way and therefore the assumption is unfeasible.
Justice, to be more concrete and clear, cannot assume the guilt or innocence of a person under any point of view and that the assumption is the basis of its verdict.
The evidence found and the affirmation of witnesses must be the roots of your decision and not an assumption, we are talking about the freedom or not of a person and that cannot depend on an assumption.
