The Biased Eye Analysis

570 Words2 Pages

The Biased Eye goes on to tell you how you are bias and don't even know it. You are raised being bias and you know no difference. By watching the WWYD videos I have came up with three ways people are bias to your peers and don't even know it. The first is bike thief, then autism in restraints, and finally children on leashes.

The bike thief is probably the most noticeable that people are being the most bias. In the first seen you see a white male that is sawing the chain that is holding the bike in place and only a few people stop and just question him and even go as far as asking him if this is his bike and he flat out said "No this in not my bike". In the second seen you see a black male that is doing the same thing and the first person that walks by stops and asked him it the bike was his and the black man said no. The woman began to yell at him then called 911. In the final seen you see that the have replaced the black man with a blond white woman. In this seen you see a few men help her cut the chain and in the poses she would say that she is steeling the bike and them men still proceed to help her. …show more content…

The family replies with "We are sorry. He has autism". You stand up and loom in the shadows and devise a feasible plan then look at the brawny and dolt man that is yelling at the family, telling them to leave, and you walk over to him and tell him to shut up and you make him cower in the corner. You have now grouped yourself in a group that supports the family and feel sympathy for them. You are also grouping the man that is yelling at the family as hating autistic people but maybe he is just having a bad day. Maybe his dog died or he just got fired from his job. You never

  • Analysis Of See No Bias By Shankar Vedantam

    After reading See No Bias by Shankar Vedantam I have learned that many people are unaware their biases. Mahzarin Banaji took a bias test, now known as the Implicit Association Test and her results stated she had a biased for whites over blacks. She didn’t understand her results because she is a minority too. She did an experiment where she had people picking from a list of unknown names. “The experiment showed how subtle cues can cause errors without people 's awareness.” Millions of people have taking the bias test and large majorities of people showed biases, even if they said they had no biases. The results also showed that minorities had the same biases as the majority groups. For example, “Some 48 percent of blacks showed a pro-white or anti-black bias; 36 percent of Arab

  • An Analysis Of Verna Myers's 'Ted Talk'

    873 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is only human to be biased. However, the problem begins when we allow our bigotry to manifest into an obstacle that hinders us from genuinely getting to know people. Long time diversity advocate, Verna Myers, in her 2014 Ted Talk, “How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them” discusses the implicit biases we may obtain when it comes to race, specifically black men and women. Myers purpose is quite like the cliché phrase “Face your fears.” Her goal is to impress upon us that we all have biases (conscious or unconscious). We just have to be aware of them and face them head on, so that problems such as racism, can be resolved. Throughout the Ted Talk, Verna Myers utilizes an admonishing yet entertaining tone in order to grasp our attention

    People's behavior is heavily dependent on how someone looks and in what situation. That is the point What Would You Do is trying to get across in the first video. In the bike thief video, the team compared how people would react to a white male, black male, and "pretty" girl. All of which were stealing a bike in separate scenarios. Some people questioned the white guy, some walked right by him, but no one tried to stop him. In the second scenario, people were swarming the black man almost immediately, and repeatedly. Most shocking off all was when people helped the girl for the shear fact that she is a girl. The problem is there are several variables that go into these situations.

  • Descartes Error: A Comparative Analysis

    I can see this very clearly in my own life. My younger brother sufferers from an extreme anxiety disorder called Asperger’s. This disorder is on the same spectrum as Autism it is just at the very end of the spectrum making it a less extreme case. It has always been apparent even at a young age that he was different. The only problem is that he doesn’t look any different than the other kids his age. Strangers he meets expect him to act and react just as a normal kid would, but he can’t. My father’s side of the family hard a very hard time understanding my brother’s disorder. They didn’t see it as a disorder. They thought he would just get over it, that he was being weak. It took a lot of convincing and research to prove to them that what was affecting my brother wasn’t a thought process or a weakness, there was something mentally wrong with him. He doesn’t receive help and attention at school as the kids with physical aliments or disorders with physical symptoms like ADHD. It is easy to see that those kids need help, but it wasn’t until we got my brother tested in the second grade that he began to receive help. We had to prove to the schools he was different in order for him to get the attention he needed. On the other hand of the argument, the people with brain injuries or disease get more help because it is obvious there is something wrong with them.

    Growing up in a very accepting and forward home, I always found myself to be free of most bias. Having been the target of some racial prejudice in the past, I always told myself that I would make sure nobody else had to feel the same way. While this may be a great way to think, it really only covers the fact that you will not have any explicit bias. What I have realized during the course of this class is that implicit bias often has a much stronger effect on us than we might think, and even the most conscious people can be affected.

In my lifetime I hope that we can eradicate the negative perception that is so commonly associated with mental disabilities. This change will not be brought by time; we can only bring an end to this delusion through education and exposure. It is my goal in life to one day start a charity to educate society on mental disabilities as well as ensure that people with disabilities can get the treatments and accommodations they need. We are all human beings. we all have flaws. No one has the right to feel superior to someone with a

    Imagine a world where everyone and everything is loud. You have no control and the world seems chaotic. No one understands you. That would be too easy. Something is not right: the lights, the people, you do not know. You scream. You are just so upset, you cannot think. It is difficult to even function. Something breaks. You can hear it somewhere in the distance. When you come to, there is a hole in the wall and broken glass. When did this happen? Everyone is quiet and they are all staring at you. You look down. You have cuts on your hands. There are a few brave souls that venture towards you. They keep asking “what’s wrong?” and “what can I do to help?”. You want them to leave you alone. You just want someone to understand you even though sometimes you do not understand how to express your feelings. This is the kind of thing that sometimes happens to people that have autism. More specifically, it happens to those who have Asperger’s Syndrome. The situation above does not apply to everyone with Asperger’s Syndrome. Some people with Asperger’s learn to control it. For some people words that other people say or a change in the order of things will can cause a “meltdown” or what some people call sensory overload. A change that could cause a meltdown might be if their mom goes to a different store with them in tow. For a while a group of medical professionals were debating on whether to get rid of the word Aspergers and change to autism spectrum disorder. This would be problematic for many reasons. some of those reasons include how people are being overdiagnosed, facts about autism, and what scientists are finding out about autism. Autism is a disorder that affects the everyday life of people and their families. Autism can affect wh...

  • Fine and Flawed Eyes in Gulliver’s Travels and Pride Prejudice: An Argument Relating Eyesight and Judgment

    2985 Words  | 6 Pages

    Throughout biblical scripture, an implicit correlation between eyesight and judgment exists – not God’s judgment, but a human’s ability to pass judgment in a certain situation. Matthew 6:22 states, “the eye is the lamp of the body. So, if [the] eye is healthy, [the] whole body will be full of light.” One of the miracles of Jesus provides another example pertaining to eyesight: “Then Jesus laid his hands on [the man’s] eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly” (Mark 8:25). Jonathan Swift and Jane Austen both had ties to the church, and their experiences influenced their texts. In Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver notes the importance of his spectacles. Without them, he would not be able to see clearly, and he later mentions that his spectacles protect his eyes from the Lilliputians when they try to attack him. Throughout the text, however, Gulliver makes poor decisions concerning his family and his loyalty to England. He is blind to his own faults and blind to the corrupt nature of his homeland. I argue that these ideas are related. In a sense, Gulliver’s inability to see the flaws in his own life parallels his poor eyesight. Furthermore, Elizabeth Bennet demonstrates this idea through the description of her “fine eyes.” Though Elizabeth correctly judges each character in the novel, she fails in her attempts to read both Darcy and Wickham. In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth is the sole character to discern the true natures of each of the other members of the novel correctly, thus a representation of her “fine eyes.” However, her ability to read the actions and motives of each character fails in reference to Wickham and Darcy. She falls prey to her first impressions of each of these men an...

  • The Bluest Eye Critical Analysis

    2307 Words  | 5 Pages

    In Haskel Frankel’s review, the aesthetic criteria is centered on reading with hope. Frankel wants The Bluest Eye to give him positive emotions, such as comfort and happiness, and yet the language makes him think about what makes something beautiful, a question which he would not like to raise in the first place. Frankel mainly focuses on what the novel did not do and what he thought could have made it more successful. Although overall Frankel was “still in favor of” the novel, he wanted Pecola to be the central character and when she became one it was “far too late to achieve the impact it might have had” (Frankel). This shows how much value Frankel places on literature in which good triumphs over evil in the end. However, hope was not completely obliterated for Frankel as he was able to discover “the beauty and the hope beneath the surface” (Frankel). Although Frankel did not completely avoid contaminated reading, as Morrison hoped for her book, he turned that contamination into something productive for himself by being able to find beauty in the language, even though it did not lead him want to leave his comfort zone as a reader.

Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he/she is really seeing is the light that the object reflects, or gives off.
