of psychology; however, much of what Freud has said about complexes and stages have been called into question because they lack empirical support. Furthermore, Freud’s theories tend to have a fairly sexist bias. The idea that people seek a “father figure” is yet another example of Freud’s bias. The idea that God is an illusion and that religion is a neurosis is less based on empirical evidence than it is on personal perspectives and biases. It is therefore ironic that Freud attempts to debunk…
lying to me then I cannot successfully help them with their problem. I can also make a negative impact on myself. My privilege can make be biased towards my oppressed clients. Nonverbal behavior provides clues to conscious deceptions or unconscious bias (Utsey, 2005). There is evidence that the accuracy of nonverbal communication varies with the park of…
and explain why these rejections happen so often to such great candidates. It 's clear that bias selection jeopardizes students during their application process. Although this is may seem counterintuitive to the applicants: not everyone will get treated equally during selection. This is not fair by any means. But as people in key positions…
and like to consider myself to be a very open minded, and a nonjudgmental person, I still have inward prejudice and certain feelings towards race and disability. I don’t necessarily believe that our in class discussions changed the way I look at bias, but the discussions for sure made me realize and highlighted that you can have natural and automatic biases based off of experience and society. Basically, everyone can have biases that they might not…
After two semesters working with Communities in Schools I have now learned how class knowledge turns into hands on experience. It has been one of the most exciting times of my Social Work career growing so much in such a short amount of time. This internship has given me a sense of what it is like to work with children, which has motivated me even more to continue with this population. I have definitely realized in what personal areas I have grown. At the end of last semester I felt like what I…
Did you know that people are known to deceive on an average of 30% of the people that they come into contact with on an average basis. Some believe that people can be altruistic based on a moral code. Others tend to be more realistic and understand that people are prone to lies and will have a hidden agenda, and fail to share their meaning. Others believe you can be truthful and also have a hidden agenda. While most people want to be truly good, it is obvious that this is not the case. People…

For example, if the test’s task was to describe this picture where a mother is setting on the table and her child is setting on the coach crying. A Hispanic student may give an answer of “he is upset because his mother is sitting far way from him”. Such an answer might not be acceptable especially if the student’s cultural background was not considered. A content bias may be expected as well. If the test items included…
Basis of Bias Imagine this scenario. A boss at a big company has to hire a new employee. There are two different resumes in front of them. The first one is for a young girl named Michelle and the other is for an older gentleman named Michael. That boss will do his best to pick the most experienced but bias will most likely come into play. If he has a bias against older people he will pick Michelle or if he has a bias against women he will chose Michael. There are many different types of bias. A…
We commonly look back and refer to history in order to progress. When we refer to the past, we are educated of our mistakes and can strive from our successes. However, we are not always truthfully exposed to everything that has happened in the past because things have either been left out, hidden or we have been diverted to other stories distracting us from them. Howard Zinn (51) argues that there is no such thing as impartial history, there is always two sides to every story. All history is…
