    Biases are present in our everyday lives and they are everywhere. It was very easy to think of a situation in which I witnessed bias attitudes and saw how these attitudes had an effect on people’s lives (or animal lives). I am going to use the example of breed discrimination against the Pit Bull Terrier. Just about any situation involving the Pit Bull Terrier has been full of biases and assumptions. I have had Pit Bulls as pets my whole life; therefore, I am no stranger to these biases.…

    Major problems American society is facing are health and healthcare disparities. Health and healthcare disparities refer to differences in health and healthcare between populations.

    As the day wore on, the bias seemed to decrease as we learned how to better work together. For example, good communication was key on the obstacle in which we were supposed to walk with the two boards as “skis”. Although we struggled to move forward at first, we soon figured out a system that worked. If that had been the first obstacle we attempted, there would have been more communication programs leading to less successful walking with the boards. I also thought that communication was better on the obstacle where we blindly followed one another along a rope around trees as well as the “web” obstacle.…

    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.

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.…
