Each source reveals bias through either the author’s claims, the evidence used in the author’s claims or through the author's ways of persuading the audience to either be in support of the transgender bathroom bill or to be against it.

YouTube provides a video form of free journalism and advertisement where each person has the freedom to express their thoughts and…

One cultural bias this author would like to share with the reader is about tattoos. This involves any individual who decides to wear a tattoo. For this writer, it is very difficult to see tattoos as an art. During her childhood, she was indoctrinated with the idea that whenever there is a person with a tattoo, this individual must either be a delinquent or a gang member who contributes little or nothing to society. This bias has created difficulty in communicating with these type of individuals…

I learned more about my students in the last few classes than I had the rest of the semester. While both my instructor and I agree that the class was one of the most unenthusiastic we had ever been a part of, we are both satisfied that the students earned the grades they received, and that we helped them along their career path. We encountered two major problems in the class this semester…
