Bias is prejudice: a preconceived judgment or opinion. Bias against an individual person or a group of people can be implicit (implied) or explicit (fully expressed). It can arise from a number of factors, including our personal backgrounds, attitudes and experiences. Learning the sources of negative bias is important to interrupting and correcting related discriminatory behavior.
