What are some real-life examples of bias?

Bias can manifest in various ways. For instance, in hiring, studies show that resumes with traditionally 'white-sounding' names receive more callbacks than those with 'ethnic-sounding' names.

That's interesting! Can you give me another example?

Sure! In healthcare, research indicates that women and people of color often receive less pain medication than white men, reflecting biases in treatment.

What about media representation?

Great point! Media often portrays certain groups in stereotypical roles, which can reinforce societal biases and affect public perception.

How can we address these biases?

Addressing bias requires awareness and education, implementing fair policies, and promoting diversity in decision-making roles.
