Examples Of Bias In To Kill A Mockingbird

Improved Essays
Bias is shown through society when the novel To KIll A Mockingbird shows how the people in Maycomb feel about African American people with other things like how to dress or how you should behave.A child’s point of view is used because children are not as biased as adults are and learn to see biases only from adults. Biases in the real world like happen all the time and in my experience kids don’t have many biases as adult that affect society.

Biases are shown in many ways in society . An example to show bias in society is in the novel when the narrator says “ Mrs. Dubose bawled. And you - she pointed an arthritic finger at me- what are you doing in those overalls? You should be in a dress and camisole, young lady…”. The quote shows how Mrs. Dubose is biased about how girls should dress and think it is the only way girls should dress. This shows how people are biased in society and in the real world biases like this are shown at school with dress codes so you have to be dressed a certain way and people think that is the only way to dress.With this evidence biases are easily shown throughout society.

Kids are usually not biases about many things as much as adults are and really gain those biases from adults and still learning things in life. This can be seen when in the story a character says,” If you can learn a simple trick scout,you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. This shows that scout is learning and shows that scout is not as biased and is seeing things not from a biased point of view. From my own personal experience kids are more open minded than adults because they dont care much about society’s

    Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist, once stated, “All men are created equal. No matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.” Although it is a fundamental American idea that people are created equal, this often is not the case due to personal bias.

    A fundamental aspect of the American justice system is the right of every person accused of a crime, to a trial by jury. The defendant, presumed ‘innocent until proven guilty’, has the right to be judged by a group of his or her peers based on the evidence presented, the assumption being that the defendant will be judged in a fair and impartial manner. However, human beings are fallible and can be subject to faulty reasoning, alongside irrational and biased thinking. The play Twelve Angry Men, by Reginald Rose is set in a mid twentieth century American jury room. Twelve strangers, all male, are brought together to deliberate the facts of a seemingly straightforward case, a young man accused of murdering his father; their decision, which must be unanimous, will either take, or save a young mans life.…

    Injustice In All Shapes And Sizes Amongst many recurring themes in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, injustice proves itself the most extensive. In the small southern town of Maycomb, populated by both blacks and whites, several situations involve great injustice. One may see injustice practiced by a person making quick assumptions or judgments, or by one possessing a prejudicial attitude. Whether a minor offense or one in a courtroom, injustice is always wrong. The common theme of injustice displays itself through a variety of scenarios, such as Aunt Alexandra’s quick judgments about Walter Cunningham, the Finch’s unique experience at Calpurnia’s church, and the citizens of Maycomb’s biased verdict of Tom Robinson.…

    After reading these three chapters I found a quote on page 41 that I think really sums up the idea of an anti bias education. It says, “Listen carefully and with an open heart.” Young children are always trying to make sense of the word and the idea’s they create in their heads are not necessarily signs of prejudice. It’s important for us to remember that children can’t always communicate what they think or how they feel. So as teachers we need to listen and figure out what they want to know.…

    When I first learned that I would have to complete multiple IAT tests, I automatically had an idea of what I thought my scores were going to be for each test. For all of the tests, I assumed that I would receive a score of moderate preference. I especially assumed that I would receive a score of moderate preference on the Race IAT test because that was the score that I had received when I took the same test last year. Turns out, I received a moderate preference score on the Gender- Career and Age IAT tests, and a strong preference score on the Race, and Disability IAT tests. I think when I first found out that I had received a score of strong preference on the Race and Disability IAT tests I was at first very shocked and confused about…

I have my biases and stereotype that I have absorbed from family, culture, and environment when I was young.
