Hi Kylie,

Yes, I was quite surprised about the Belief in a Just World bias. Like you, I am certainly going to re-evaluate some of these beliefs and perspectives I have. It appears this course is going to really expose some myth and error in thinking that society holds. I both excited and nervous about this.

    Bias And Synthesis Essay

    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.…

    News Media Bias Research Paper

    News media has controlled the way information is broadcasted and presented to the public. Articles surrounding constant controversy can be written in different views regarding bias against the major parties involved in a controversy. A great example of these bias in news media is the current ongoing separation and divorce battle between Hollywood heart throb Johnny Depp and soon to be ex-wife Amber Heard. With both parties having their share of fans it is no surprise that media outlets are willing to present bias information to adhere to the overall voice.…

    Summary Of Linda Brodkey's Writing On The Bias

    The purpose of Linda Brodkey's “Writing on the Bias” was too illustrate that learning how to write cannot be done through a strict set of rules that someone simply follows blindly. Brodkey disagrees with the way she was taught to read in school and how it is not real writing. She tells how as a child all she wanted to do was follow the rules of writing. This did her no good, it was not until her last years in college that she actually began questioning those who were setting down these rules she was supposed to be following. After she realized this was when she really learned how to write, which in a way set her free.…

    Bias Vs Persuasive Research Paper

    Well, I am not sure what the "official" definition of how bias essays compared to persuasive essays but I have my own definition that I think holds to be quite true overall. Bias writing is where the writer solely focuses upon the narrative that they desire but omit to mention any potential downsides to whatever their viewpoint. A persuasive essay, while written from a certain perspective on an issue or topic, will address such potential causes of concerns about the topic. While the differences may seem small but in actuality, they are quite different since one fully ignores the potential faults in order to push an idea while the other addresses them as valid and gives a response to such concerns.…

    Polls And Bias: A Case Study

    Discussion Polls collected from the internet are very unreliable and can sometimes be biased towards a group, race or religion. The aim of this investigate was to see if polls were mostly worded in a specific way that manipulates what we choose making the polls very unreliable and Bias. For the first poll found it came to my attention that there were not enough respondents for this to be accurate. When polls do not have a decent number of respondents you do not get the full picture. There needs to be at least 1,000 respondents or more from all over the continent, this will allow people from different cultural backgrounds or genders to have their say on the topic.…

    Cosmopolitan Bias

    I chose this article because I know that Cosmopolitan is a very biased news source. Their target audience is young college-aged women and since most people of that age demographic are extreme liberals, they try to cater to them to keep their audience, which they do a pretty good job at doing so considering the fact that Cosmopolitan is a very mainstream media outlet. Also, I always disliked Cosmopolitan as their bias is very prevalent, so I did some research myself and checked out some of their articles that don’t deal with Trump or Hillary. I found a surplus of articles on feminist and gender issues such as gender neutral underwear, the wage gap, body positivity, etc. Just by reading the title, I was confronted with so much bias that I knew…

    Bias In Russia

    There are always two sides to every story and in order to fully understand a situation one must be informed about all aspects. When someone does not have all the information or possesses a limited viewpoint then the chances of bias and misunderstanding occurring increases exponentially. An individual’s outlook on current events heavily depends on where that person lives and how they interpret what the media reports; every issue has more than one perspective but the Western media is excellent at reporting on events with a Western bias. This bias means Western world citizens frequently get a certain interpretation of important issues resulting in people making judgements and forming opinions without all the facts.

    Examples Of Bias In History

    No matter what situation in the past there will always be bias including key events in history. So not every specific event in history is told perfectly without humans interfering by downing another group or by making themselves look more favorable in the end. So in any historical development including religious faiths one should always judge the standards of that particular time period. A primary example for bias in history would be the day Cristopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.…

    Unconscious Bias Reflection

    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.…

    Cognitive Biases Essay

    Intelligence and Policy Midterm Definitions Cognitive Biases: Cognitive Biases are the expectations analysts carry with them before they even approach raw data. These biases originate in the analyst’s education, experiences, upbringings, and cultural history, including plays, literature or national songs. Cognitive biases can come in several different forms, one of which is the expectation that the world is coherent, rational, and that states will seek to maximize their material and strategic benefits. Biases can also originate in an analysts’ belief in their target’s inferiority. An example of this is the Nazi’s belief that Slavic Soviet peoples were inferior and therefore incapable of mounting an effective resistance to their invasion.…

    Essay On Self Serving Bias

    Self serving bias is the act of people attributing success to dispositional causes and failures to situational ones. For example, if someone does well on a test they will conclude that they are intelligent, while if they fail the test they will blame the teacher.
