We make sense of the world by forming concepts of stimuli, but the process has inherent danger in that it can lead to overgeneralization and bias. View the video below of Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt discussing her research about how bias works. Eberhardt is a social psychologist at Standford University and a MacArthur Fellow.
After viewing the video, write a journal entry (only I will be able to view it), in which you:
- Summarize how and why bias develops in the brain
- Summarize Eberhardt's recommendations about how to disrupt bias.
- Discuss an experience you've had with bias and how you came to understand it as bias and not truth.
Note: This should be two substantial paragraphs in total.
