Implicit Bias
Implicit bias refers to the unconscious attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions. These biases can influence how we perceive and interact with others based on characteristics like race, gender, age, or appearance, often without us even realizing it. Implicit biases can lead to unintentional discrimination and can affect various areas, including hiring practices, law enforcement, and healthcare. Recognizing and addressing implicit bias is essential for promoting fairness and equity.
