Bias

The term “bias” has many, broad uses in our society. Statistically speaking, a bias may be defined as a systematic inaccuracy , with different causes in different contexts (e.g., a scale may be biased). Human bias is when we are systematically inaccurate in our thinking, feelings and attitudes, behavior, and things we produce. We may be biased towards or against different social identity groups, such as race, gender, or religion. This produces unfairness and injustice.
