Explain bias.

I can see that you are a person of few words. Bias is anything that slants you towards something. It can be a preconceived notion about something that influences you, or it can be the way you grew up, or your personal preferences, or your historical situatedness. Anything and everything touches upon biases. For example, I am a man. Therefore, I have a male bias. I am an American. So, I am an American bias. I am an person who grew up in the 80's. So, I have an 80's bias. I love to read history. So, I have a bias towards history. The list goes on. So, I think it is most honest to divulge your biases and know that you have them. In fact, all people have them.
