Wk 1 Discussion 1 – Biases and Situatedness
Paul and Elder (2014) refer to habitual thinking as biased, distorted, partial, uninformed, and often downright prejudiced. Everyone is biased. A person’s view is always partial, partisan, and problematic (Eisenberg et al., 2014)
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
How can you retarget the mechanism you use to identify bias in others and to identify bias in yourself?
What is the experience of switching perspectives like for you?
How fully are you able to inhabit the perspective of another?
What barriers prevent you from letting go of your own worldview
