This paper is going to be about having a bias about something. A lot of people in America tend to think that they don’t have a bias at all, or they just don’t think they do but overall they have a bias about something that they don’t even know. There is something called a ted talk that a lady named Verna Myers explains this. She explains in this ted talk and she says “I learned on a bias that I didn’t even know I had”. She explains that we all have a bias that we don’t even know about. Ways that we find out that we have a bias over something is when we are put in a certain situation, or we start having an argument about something then your true feelings come out about that. You could have never known you felt that way but when it gets brought up then you realize you have a certain feeling or bias about it.

I totally agree with her on her perspective on bias. I feel like you go through things in your life that changes the way you feel about certain things. Sometimes you don’t even know you had that feeling for that certain subject or crowd of people but it just comes out because you get put in a situation that makes you express that feeling. Some people have a feeling about black males to be specific. A lot of people say they aren’t racist or they don’t feel any other way around black males then they do white, but when they get put in the position of being around them they freeze up because they are scared. Sometime a secret bias might just sneak up on you in the moment.

Overall, I feel like biases kind of grow on people in away. The people you hang out with can also change the way you feel about other people, or certain subjects in general. Say you hang out with a bunch of white people all the time, when you come around a group of black people you might feel uncomfortable. This isn’t something you should feel bad about, because it’s just the way you mind and body react to something new. You find out that you feel a certain way about someone or something when the event happens.

Rational

There are plenty of reasons I chose this picture and this fictional writing to make my project. My fictional writing is something that fits me perfect. “So many feelings. One person”. That is something that fits me perfect because it’s literally how I feel. I have so many different feeling but I have a main four that really can control my day and how everything is going to go that day. When I am feeling one of these it overrides everything else I am feeling. When I am mad the whole day will be bad. 

          There really isn’t a lot of things that can make me this way but the few that can really get to me. I have a problem of which if I am feeling a certain way I won’t stop feeling that way throughout the whole day. If I’m happy[y when I wake up nothing really can make me change that mood unless it’s something dramatic. If I’m mad when I wake up, there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to make it better. I will not change that mood and everything I do will be based of that mood. That the reason I will literally stay in my room a whole day just because I woke up mad. It might not have nothing to do with anyone else but I will still bring that anger out on them which is pretty bad. So these overall, are the reason I chose this picture and the fictional writing “so many feelings. One person” to be the thing I write my rational over.
