Are you bias?
People has in one form or another, have some sort of bias. Bias is an unhealthy trait as it does not allow clear judgement.
Bias was the caused of countless conflicts and wars in human history. Even in our current time, it is still causing conflicts.
Unfortunately, bias is something we cannot totally eradicate. It is something deeply ingrained in society and will not be going anytime soon.
Though we cannot totally eradicate bias, it is possible to minimize its effects by avoiding teaching our children our own biases. The reason for this is because children learn their biases usually at home.
Children's minds are very malleable at young age. They usually copies our actions. Copying is the best way to learn. Either it is language, gestures, mannerism and even behaviours, children can copy all of them.
Unfortunately, it also means that they can easily copy our bad behaviours and biases. That is why it is important to watch our actions in front of them.
It is the parents responsibility to make sure there children grow as responsible members of society. Teaching them our bad traits and biases is certainly not one of them.
Teachers, also needs to teach children to avoid biases. Biases in school is often the cause of bullying. When a child does not like another child, it is most likely because he or she has bias against that person.
This is unhealthy and can affect the childs future. Bullied children often develops inferiority complex and inferiority complex makes them unable to compete thus they are often eliminated in this highly competetive world.
As yoy can see bias have great effects on a person and society as a whole. Therefore, it is of utmost important to teach children to avoid biases, either for their own future or of others.
This is it for now. I hope everyone find this article educational and useful. Until next time.
