What is bias? The dictionary definition of bias is prejudice in favor of or against a person, group, or object. Bias can influence our ideas, ideals, and ways of thinking. As a result, this can be dangerous as it can be applied for the purpose of spreading hostility and suspicion. It becomes progressively dangerous when hordes of people are subjected to these hate-filled prejudices, and unfortunately, a multitude of forms of media employ biases to create a subliminal message to affect our judgement of the world around us. For example, songs such as Work by Rhianna ft. Drake, and Love Yourself by Justin Bieber, contain a myriad of subliminal messages that encourage and spread the already inherent racism and misogyny throughout their audiences.
