Match the paragraph to the stage of perception it represents. 1. the man's voice was coming from the radio. the voice sounded familiar. selection 2. carl was working on his homework. in the background, a man began speaking. carl stopped to listen. organization 3. carl remembered that this was the night that the president was to give his state of the union address. he was hearing it now. interpretation-evaluation

The first stage is selection, when the perception is focused on something: 2. Carl was working on his homework. In the background, a man began speaking. Carl stopped to listen.

The second stage is organization, when we structure our thoughts around what we focused our attention on: 1. The man's voice was coming from the radio. The voice sounded familiar.

The third stage is interpretation-evaluation, when we use our knowledge to interpret and extract information from what we focused our attention on: 3. Carl remembered that this was the night that the president was to give his State of the Union address. He was hearing it now.

an informal structure in a bureaucracy would be something like so-called "office politics". where there's a formal structure set up for the organization, but then an informal subculture as well that has a way of organizing the bureaucracy further. this can be positive because it sets up an added degree of organization, albeit informal, within the bureaucracy.
