People everyday watch the news to become informed on what is going on in the world, without realizing that the viewers are being misled. The news is supposed to provide viewers with current events without being deceiving but instead, news channels are beginning to input their own political views in reports. People who watch the news often try to get their views validated or justified rather than challenged. For example if someone is a conservative one will more likely than not watch a news channel that is of the conservative viewpoint to get the feeling that their views on the issue is right. A lot of people who are all conservative or are all liberal are becoming content with just watching the news broadcast that suits their views.…
Most news networks these days use biased reports to entertain a certain audience. Often, different news stations will show the same reports but with a different bias “twist”.

When he was captured, 6 soldiers were killed, and the united states had to trade 5 Taliban leaders to the Taliban to get Burgdahl back.…

This definition means that the person with an explicit bias knows that they have this bias and can control what they say in do in regards to their bias, like saying that a synth is an abomination. That is explicit bias. The bias against synths shows us a bit how biases tend to form in our real world. In the game world most of the bias against synths is explicit. It’s hard to convey implicit biases over a video game correctly because a character’s implicit bias, just like our real world, might be hidden away and only come out very rarely, or only in the use of stereotypes.…

Biases are based on preconceived ideas and notions towards a specific group of people. These bias are in fact prejudice in nature and exemplifies the idea of supremacy. Sometimes these bias become an integral part of our society. This is evident when a leader of a first world nation could make a travel ban, banning immigration from a specific nation because of religion or ethnic background. As a society we retain these bias because of historical circumstances or ignorance.…

Media bias is found in every story and article published, each author twists and bends information to fit their views. With everyone trying to get their side across, we never actually get the entire story from just one source. For, example earlier this year in February, three muslim students were murdered by their neighbor, Craig Stephen Hicks. This story was covered by many news outlets, including CNN and Fox News, who have both been known to be very biased. Two different sides of the story were created, some believed that the shooting was caused by a parking dispute between the neighbors.…

To begin, I want to say I find this course insightful. Through the weeks, I have come to accept that everyone has unconscious bias, but also, that it is not something to be ashamed of, if anything, it is something to learn from. Before this class, I was not sure how to articulate my experiences on cultural differences. Also, I did not have a good grasp on culture and how it affects us all differently. I have learned to recognize that I have my own ethnocentrism, that it is okay to feel proud of my own culture in the sense that, maybe there are other ways to do things, but I like my way better because that is the way I am accustomed to.…
We usually only recognize bias in others but not ourselves. We are more aware of it when we have experienced that some people may be biased for or against us based on a stereotype. I have my biases and stereotype that I have absorbed from family, culture, and environment when I was young. Stereotype is a form of classification process to help analyzing, filtering the most important information, and to make the decision process faster. When working with the families and children, I have to be aware of my own biases because it will influence the judgment and expectation.…
