Breaking Down Social Biases

Breaking Down Social Biases

In this post I want to look at Breaking Down Social Biases. Bias is common in many aspects of our lives. To make sense of everything around us, we often categorize the things we experience or people we encounter.  The problem with this is when it creates a divide between humans and social groups. Social biases are inaccurate social assumptions, judgments, and unfair treatment. These biases can be formed based on religion, sex, or race. They have a negative impact on the shaping of an organization and the development of social norms. Biases may be conscious or unconscious, in which the most extreme forms can lead to harassment, discrimination, or violence.
