Bias

I found myself in an ironic position when I realized that I was self-deceiving myself when choosing which article, Real self-deception by Alfred R. Mele or Self-Deception as a Pretense by Tamar Szabo Gendler, I supported the most. The first article I read was Mele 's and his way of describing several points of his view confused me as well as some of them enlightened me. As I moved on to Gendler 's article, I found her way of explaining herself somehow more reader-friendly and hence more…

The role of women in European society was they were to be the household doing women like things, bear children and many would say that women were the opposite of men in every way and were not to have men like qualities and should to be very matronly and do things they believe a woman should do. There are many different types of views of women and some humanist views were from people such as Baldassare Castiglione and Raphael who was a painter. Castiglione was a humanist scholar and diplomat…

and accountability policy development and implementation (GAO, 2006; Zehr, 2006; Abedi, 2004; Crawford, 2002). There are several major concerns of English language proficiency assessments, first and foremost is the test validity, second the cultural bias of the assessments, third the nonstandard administration and fourth the assessment does not pair with…

As new generations come and grow, we create new cultures that are constantly changing and upgrading the way we think and function. Blogs have created a new way of expressing journalism regardless of qualifications and tend to express bias opinions in the articles published. Twitter has created a new form of "micro-journalism" to make small, unrelated thoughts known. YouTube provides a video form of free journalism and advertisement where each person has the freedom to express their thoughts and…

contains information about the data collected from 16,000 participants around the world with testing different treatments to see which one is the best and has the least side effects. [Insert quote here (have many different quotes to pick from)] The bias for this review was that they only contained fifteen different remedies. Mostly were the cliché remedies such as therapy and medication. Only three were natural remedies, such as running or natural medication and mediation. I’m going to use this…

It is true, the poor-quality data may have data censoring, systematic bias, and relevance. However, it may also have missing data. Crimes like rape suffer from under reporting. This lack of data means that the algorithm will not detect or accurately predict crimes that suffer under reporting. Under reported crimes cause inaccuracies…

The article “Capitalism vs. the Climate” was written by Naomi Klein about climate change and its solutions in relation to the economy as well as the political reactions to such solutions. Her article mainly revolves around the premise that climate change deniers are right about one thing, that in order to fix climate change, drastic changes in the modern economic models are needed. To this end, she makes a good, albeit flawed argument, as although she does provide a plethora of sources for her…

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. I would say that the interpretation of misinformation comes from both the reader and the writer because the writer may inform the audience of their own viewpoint along with facts and the reader would be the one that would have their own way of interpreting the…

Communication can be a difficult barrier to cross when guilt or blame is involved. I’m sure we all have stories we recall as children where we tried to squirm our way out of trouble. As parents or babysitters we usually observe the smaller things to determine the larger picture since it may be difficult to determine what truly happened from bystanders or children. And at times it may be easier to determine what happened based off of post incident behavior rather than personal narratives. The…

the article. Authors of the article set out to research the idea of decision making and how motivation to achieve closure could force one to resort to decision sidestepping. Research suggests: unconscious choice to elect the default bias, choice delegation, status quo bias, inaction inertia, and option fixation are directly tied to electing decision sidestepping as a form of decision making to achieve closure in person highly motivated for an end result. Mentioned choices coincide with a notion…
