The Informative Essay: The Role Of Bias In Business

Bias is unavoidable, it is seen on tv, business, school and even your home. Bias is a personal opinion about something or someone, supporting that particular thing unfairly. Bias can be used against someone's sexual orientation, social standing, political beliefs or race. Bias in business for example, can be when one chooses to hire nor not hire someone based on their beliefs or race without even taking in mind their experiences, they automatically think that their way is wrong by just basing their opinions on their appearance or beliefs. When you see a homeless person on the streets your viewing on that person is different and make them less than of a person than someone who works, thinking they are lazy and dangerous and should stay away
Whether it’s the Internet, the worldwide news and celebrity news, bias is everywhere. The media gives out information to make everyone think the same thing and tell the public what they want them to hear. The media allows us to know what they believe is right about topics and situations. They have more information then what they actually give out. They give out what they want us to believe, focusing more on one topic that they favorite and giving us their opinion while other news sources might have a different one. People tend to believe what's on the news simply because it is on the news and they rely on them to tell the public what going on around them and expect it to be the truth, when in reality that might just be part of the story of that specific news source and their opinion, while other sources have a different one. Checking other sources before taking anyone's word to see if they all have the same side of the story is the best way to avoid media bias. Reasons why the media might not be telling people the real side of the story and telling the public what they believe is because they don't want to make anyone associated with them look bad. People can't make the right decisions if they don't know what's really going on. Journalism has to report what was said in an interview without adding or filtering their own opinion, but in news reporting it can be completely opposite and is rare to find a source
