Discussion»Questions»Life and Society» Do you pretend that you’re not biased on any subject whatsoever, or are you more truthful about your own bias/biases? ~
It's impossible to judge oneself fairly or objectivly I think......sep't in my case as I'm a natural blonde and fair by nature as you must surly know by now...... Now where is my Green Ribbon ....I'm being nice to you so deserves one again....:)D
I'm truthful about my biases, and I think most people here know what they are.
But I try to maintain a neutral and factual tone when explaining how and why I hold a particular view. I want to make it easy for those who don't agree to understand the reasons behind differing opinions, to feel that I still respect their right to hold the views they do, and to feel free to engage in polite, well reasoned and researched debate if they wish.
There are some situations in which I refrain from speaking at all if I think it would be useless or might backfire.
I try to be open to my bias/biases and admit to them. Sometimes i may be unaware of the specific biases but I try to be open when I become aware of them.
In (maybe) a related topic, I believe all of us are hypocrites in one way or another (or more than one way). :)
The reason people get out of my way is because I do not pretend anything. If I am biased, it is a REAL bias.

Of course I have biases. Everyone does. However, I'd like to make a counterpoint.
The major culprit is usually unconscious bias. The keyword being "unconscious." If people don't realize they have one, it's hard for them to be "truthful" and admit its existence.
How exactly does a person identify their own unconscious biases? Now that is the question of the day. I'm going to go ask it. ^_^
