Exploring Our Biases - Part 2

"Human beings are poor examiners, subject to superstition, bias, prejudice, and a PROFOUND tendency to see what they want to see rather than what is really there."
M. Scott Peck

At this month's Faith, Friends & Fellowship discussion group, we continue our exploration of personal biases by identifying and defining various types of bias, as well as discussing strategies to address them in everyday situations. Understanding and talking about bias is essential, especially implicit bias, because it can lead to unfair judgments and discriminatory behavior, even among well-meaning individuals. By increasing our awareness, we aim to reduce, avoid, or even reverse the negative impact of these biases in our communities and relationships.
