Are there people who take advantage of our Biases? Yes! Loads of people! Companies, politicians, even everyday people all do it. But by learning about Media, we can stop them in their tracks! BRAIN POWER!!!
Why does my brain take shortcuts? It's faster! But not always better. Evolution made us great at running from tigers, but not running towards our really important homework. Ugh.
How can my Biases hurt me? Bias is natural, and everyone has it. But it can make us believe things that aren't true. It can make us believe that something good is bad, or that something bad is good. What if I was so biased against vegetables, I started to think they were poison? Time to "Check my Bias" and ask my doctor… ugh, they said I need those vitamins! Ooookaay.
What is "Checking your Bias?" It's when you ask: Did a bias make me do that? Checking your Bias is a good thing to do every now and then. It helps you know what you're doing intentionally, and what was just a habit.
