Bias

Bias is when someone unfairly favors one person, group, or idea over another, making it hard for them to see things fairly. It’s like if a referee always gives penalties to one team, even if both teams are playing the same way.

Examples

• When reading a book, it's important to recognize any bias the author may have, as it can influence how the story is told and the messages you receive from it.
• In science class, we learned how bias can affect the results of an experiment, showing us why it’s essential to stay objective and focus solely on the facts.
• During the debate in social studies, I noticed my classmates had a bias towards one particular argument, which made it challenging for us to discuss all sides fairly.
