Essays on Bias

Introduction

Why do people constantly pursue the concept of absolute happiness? Satisfaction and contentment becomes underrated when everybody wants a piece of everything. Everyone wants something better even if they already have the best comparatively and relatively to other people. I remember a popular saying that “you can’t have it all,” this holds true in every aspect of life’s decision. In an article by Tsai and Hsee, they describe these thoughts as ‘hedonic adaptation’ where the initial feeling of positivism and negativism fizzles down through the course of time. The reasons of this phenomenon were summarize into three ...

According to Drake, the process of representation and taxation for the federal government appears in the three-fifths compromise (238). It involved determining whether slaves would be counted as part of the general population. The southern and the northern states differed when it came to a counting of the slaves. The states of the South supported the representation of slaves. Despite this want, they did not want to pay more taxes for the slaves because slaves were seen as part of their property. The northern states, on the other hand, did not support the counting of slaves for representation. An ...

Based on the recent research studies, corporations that are socially responsible are likely to be more profitable than those companies that are not sensitive to societal needs (Lindgreen & Swaen, 2010). For instance, based on case 7.1, the Coca Cola Company and the Starbucks are among the leading companies that are giving back to society. According to the case study, Coca Cola is teaching children on how to test purified water to differentiate from the contaminated one. On the other hand, the Starbucks is also addressing the sanitation related issues in India. This essay intends to answer four questions based ...

Part 1- Race and Media in the Networked Public Sphere

The early newspapers were reminiscent of the gross prejudice and discrimination against African Americans. This form of media formed a basis for cultural and racial stereotyping. This prejudice has spilled over into the twenty-first century where multiple platforms free of government control are available and foster much more open and honest dialogue.

Part 2- The Civil War Legacy of Slavery, Racial Conflict Injustice of the Jim Crowe Days

(Sasha Marshalls) In the workplace I can’t honestly say that I’ve ever experienced hidden bias or even during the recruiting and hiring process for a position that I’ve interviewed for.

This commentary is in reference to the Ted x talk on challenging gender selection . The Australian speaker, Tereza initially mentions how millions of women across the world are missing due to a desire for male offsprings. She terms this as human rights violation.

The Washington Post article, “As drug industry’s influence over research grows, so does the potential for bias” by Peter Whorisky is an eye-opener on how pharmaceutical funded research is tailored to benefit the industry rather than reveal reality (Whoriskey, 2016). Various examples were cited in this article, like: The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a work that compared the benefits of four diabetic drugs and found that the new drug Avandia (made by GlaxoSmithKline), was the best among the four (Kahn et al., 2006). The study was funded by GlaxoSmithKline. According to Whoriskey, this study was ...

The Changing Role of Women

The 21st Century represents an era with a tremendous amount of rhetoric regarding persecution, and/ or myopic bigotry. The obvious irony is that the roughly 200 nations on Earth, roughly 905 of them have established constitutions or commitments to the rights and privileges of their citizens (Chafe & Chafe, 1991). Although established in ...

ISSUE OF PUBLIC HEALTH: TYPE II DIABETES

Diabetes is a significant problem in places like the United States, particularly type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is often associated with obesity and poor lifestyle choices, although genetic predisposition also seems to play a role in the development of the disease (Look AHEAD Research Group, 2013). The three studies chosen for discussion here are all studies that examine the impact of diet and lifestyle choices on people who have type II diabetes; many of these researchers are interested in developing methods to offset the significant health risks and population-wide costs of such high prevalence of the disease.

While the bulk collection of phone record has been over, its restoration is the most optimal decision since there are no software program adequately replacing the wiretapping system, which is what makes the solution so important minimizing the vulnerability of the United States. Of course, there are ethical concerns; however, a saved human life is the best argument to consider ethicality a conventionality avoided for a greater good. Financially, the country is on the winning side, as are its citizens. The economic weight and irreplaceability of the USA is unlikely to damage the finances due to wiretapping concerns. Wiretapping ...

An increasing demand for good employees constitutes a challenge for Human Resource managers (Ullah, 2010, p. 107). This demand stems from the recognition that good employees affect productivity of a firm. The employee selection methods are becoming complex. The aim of the selection is to find suitable person to fill a vacancy (Ullah, 2010, p. 107). This essay is going to compare and contrast two selection methods, which are interview and pre-employment test. According to Ullah (2010), interview is an appropriate tool to find out whether a person meets requirements of a vacancy or not. The author further argues ...

There are certain events in our society that can affect the course of our history, but there are events that are a direct reflection of how our society is structured. Ever since we are born we are socialized in order to function in our society and this varies from place to place. Our society is made of unspoken regulations and laws that function as a form of social control. What we also see in our society are hierarchies; we see them with gender, race, and especially class. At times we deny that there is prejudice in our society, but ...

Van der Pol defines tacit knowledge as knowledge that is “implicit, non-conscious and unacknowledged and is acquired through practice, socialization and habits”. Acquisition of tacit knowledge of other people’s culture may prevent ethnocentric bias in a world that is experiencing social economic and political relational growth among countries (Scott 262). This would lead to mutual respect and harmony among people with different cultural backgrounds brought together by these ever growing relations. The form of knowledge has been enhanced by increased integration of social, economic and political systems. The world has become a global village that has resulted in ...

While organized crime can refer to any hierarchically structured and excusive association of people governed by specific rules, who carry on criminal activities for financial gain and who show a willingness to use violent or other illegal act in order to perpetuate their existence; in the United States, organized crime is most commonly linked to the Italian-American mafia (Abadinsky, 2010). To be sure, although there are a number of organized criminal networks operation in or against the U.S. that include a range of ethnicities and national origins, such as the Russian mafia, the Mexican drug cartels, and Chinese triads; ...

Abstract

Despite the logical expectation of the success of the pay-for-performance program introduced to educational facilities, the project is not considered as one. Even though the necessity of educational level increase is recognized, the P4P program may not be the right motivational solution for the teachers, since it has a list of its disadvantages for both, employer and employee. Not only it is difficult to establish and maintain a fair and working performance evaluation system, which would consider all of the aspects of teachers’ work, but it is also difficult to operate the human factor with its prejudice and attitudes. ...

Validity in Quantitative Research Design

Validity in Quantitative Research Design In the article “Effectiveness of an Aspiration Risk-Reduction Protocol” Metheny, Davis-Jackson & Stewart (2010) utilized two-group quasi-experimental design involving usual group of participants and respondents from Aspiration Risk-Reduction Protocol (ARRP) group. Each of the groups was studied on the subject of effectiveness of the treatment. The main concern here is the threat to external validity, as the researchers recruited uneven number of participants in each of the sample groups. Specifically, the scholars involved 329 usual care participants and 145 respondents from ARRP group. It is possible to imply that the study had to recruit an ...

The Civil Procedure Rules (CPRs) are a set of guidelines by which the United Kingdom has granted more equitable and consistent access to their justice system by way of simplifying the process. They have made legal processes less expensive and easier for laymen to understand. Their primary focus was to promote the application of some particular provisions, but to also guide actions in those circumstances when the CPRs cannot be expected to offer a specific rule. The slow and expensive process of resolving cases under the English civil justice system prompted Lord Woolf to conduct a two-year inquiry into ...

Islam, though one of the youngest religions in the world, is one of the fastest growing and the second in terms of adherents. Statistics from the Pew Research Center show that out of the 200 countries under consideration, the religion had 1.6 billion followers which represented 23.2% of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion people as of 2010. The statistics reveal that as of 2050, more than 29% of the world’s population will be made up of Muslims. As such, one in every four people is likely to be a Muslim going by these statistics and this ...

Discussion 1

Indeed, the author is very accurate in his observations that self-biases have affected the independence and validity of examining personal data. In fact, these biases have resulted due to the need by an individual to generate a very fair opinion of him, while compromising on the real measures of his parameters. Furthermore, I tend to agree by the fact that validity of measures is determined by both the sensational and cognitive factors. Therefore, independence and accuracy of self-generated data could only be guaranteed when the intervention of an external and impartial person is invoked (Ellis, Hartley, & Walsh, 2010). Tests ...

As depicted in the trial of O.J Simpson, there is a number of political, racial, social and psychological personality or demographic factors that may influence the selection, composition and possible elimination of members of a jury. Normally, trial judges, defense attorneys, prosecutors and plaintiff’s lawyer will want to ensure that jurors are both impartial and fair and that there are minimal chances of conflicts of interest, bias and the possibility of a jury constitution unfairly influencing or shaping the outcome of a case. In this week’s discussion, I will analyze the factors that might include or eliminate ...

Introduction The rise of women top managers in the last decades is almost phenomenal. As early as 2005, female Chief Financial Officers in major American corporations constitutes 7.5 percent of all managers in this position and female Chief Executive Officers around 1.5 percent, a significant increase in representation from the levels (3.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively) seen in 1994 (Huang and Kisgen 822). This female representation, though, is still too small to not indicate the presence of culturally defined stereotypical bias against women for the management position, the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ barrier ...

Introduction:

There is little doubt that the LGBT community still faces both discrimination and bigotry and many areas of the globe. Even in the United States, thought to be among the most accepting nations in the world for all minorities, it can be difficult to get Gay Marriage legally recognized, or to receive reproductive health services if you are gay. However, in some areas of the globe, revealing your sexuality is still more than a political and equal rights issue, it is a life-or-death discussion, that centers around- not the freedoms of- but the safety of those that are openly ...

Heuristics are mental shortcuts that enable people to provide quick solutions to problems and make quick judgments in an efficient manner (Baron, 2000). Heuristics are rule-of-thumb strategies that enable people to function immediately without having to stop and think about the courses of action to be taken. Heuristics are considered efficient, but they do not guarantee success (Cherry, 2015). They have proven to be very helpful in a variety of situations, but people are likely to form biases. Confirmation bias is the tendency of humans to recall information according to their own beliefs. Heuristics quicken the speed of decision ...

There exists a parasitic relationship between the media and celebrities. Celebrities, especially movie stars need the media to either stay in the limelight or promote their new movies. Coverage of celebrity stories and scandals increase circulation and an increased number of visits to the website. When a famous movie star is involved with a controversial cult and gets divorced, speculation is rife about the influence of the cult in the divorce and this was what happened in the case of Tom Cruise’s divorce from Katie Holmes. Given media’s predilection to cover scandals especially on controversial religious sects ...

Race has been a thorny issue in the United States. It dates back to the colonial times of this country. It spans the centuries dating back to the ages even before the slavery period. As the American empire continues to rise today, it is often bedeviled by the contentious issue of race and prejudice to the minority groups and the immigrants in the United States. Many civil rights groups have tried to demonstrate and fight this vice numerous times, but their efforts have been able to stamp out this vice. In addition to the efforts that are exerted by ...

There are many books on the American prison system. Nearly all of these cite the negative aspects of the American prison system, including the safety of the staff from the prisoners, the treatment of prisoners, etc. However, some literatures also point out the advantages the prison system can have on the imprisoned individuals and, consequently, the society at large. This paper reviews two of these literatures that argue out these sides of the debate: Robert Johnson’s Hard Time, Understanding and Reforming the Prison (more of a supporting voice) and Billy Wayne Sinclair and Jodie Sinclair’s A Life ...

Revenue management involves doing something to the consumers rather than doing something for them. A number of industries have implemented the concept of revenue management in order to maximize their sales and revenues. It assists in increasing their level of competitive advantage. Any organization should have their primary goal as establishing a mutual value of a relationship between them and their customers. Consumers ordinarily perceive a certain price increase given as ‘fair’ in the event that it is a reaction due to an increased seller costs. They perceive the price increase as ‘unfair’ in the event that it is ...

Scores on assessments of learners' scholarly accomplishment are presently mostly utilized as a part of educational responsibility frameworks. This utilization ordinarily lays on two suppositions. First, the learners' scores are a sensible evaluation of educational quality, and thus giving the educators responsibility for them will give proper motivations to enhance the execution of instructors and the school operations. The utilization of government standardized testing is bolstered by two essential suppositions – first, state-administered assessments are outlined impartially, without inclination and second, state-administered assessments precisely evaluate a learner's scholarly information. These presumptions have persuaded school authorities, to utilize test information, as ...

In order to get closer to the one of the most acute problems in the contemporary society, let’s define the main concept.

It can be called so as there exists a belief the that there are groups of people with special (usually ...

Valuing cultural diversity in education

Abstract Although teachers have several roles, valuing diversity is one of the most important one. In a diverse country like America, both teachers and students are encultured through socialization, whereby one learns the roles, rules and behaviors for life. Cultural implications do affect classroom management in various ways. Teachers must value diversity at all levels in all their interactions with students and parents. They must also get to know the values, beliefs, and practices of the cultures of the people they deal with. For this they can use resources like newspapers, books, Internet and know more of the cultures ...

Capital punishment has always been a controversial issue. In 1791, before the French Revolution. Maximillian Robespierre delivered a speech arguing against the death penalty. A few years later he led the Reign of Terror, and organized mass executions, which exemplifies the way capital punishment is often politicized and used for specific agendas, rather than as a form of rational punishment. Today, in the U.S., recent technological advancements, including DNA testing, has exonerated inmates on death row. There is a racial and socioeconomic element to the debate, because more inmates on Death Row are poor minorities. Some highly publicized cases ...

Introduction

The article intends to review the merits of the cultural - test –bias hypothesis. The hypothesis claims that the differences observed in mental tests are not to be taken with confidence. The hypothesis states that the racial or ethnic differences are a result of biases integrated in the mental tests. These biases have developed over the years through wrong and irresponsible psychometric methodology. If at all they exist and the hypothesis is proven true, the implications would be huge. Practically, there would the unjust denial of placement in educational opportunities. There would also be the unfair denial of employment ...

Introduction

Sports are popularly believed to exist in a cultural, social, and political vacuum and place that is distinct from everyday realities of political and social life. As such, it is presumed that opportunities exist and are available for all groups regardless of socio-cultural backgrounds. This narrative stems from the popular belief that the issues of race are no longer present in sport as in other corporate affairs and also the increasing proportion of high-profile members of the black and minority ethnic groups in contemporary professional sports. However, this narrative represents the contrary to the actual state of racial representation in ...

Implicit Bias can be referred to as an unconscious attitude or behavior towards a certain group in society. Education and awareness led people to believe that all groups and communities must be treated on an equal basis and discrimination of any sort must be avoided. The aim of educating the masses is to ensure that a society where all humans enjoy rights regardless of their color, occupation, race, and religion can be formed. However, old beliefs and values are hard to change and they continued to seep into minds from generation to generation. Although awareness played its role in making people ...

The current discussion focuses on the socio-political ideas of Thomas Hobbes. In this regard, the matter of subordination and order is explicated through a prism of philosophers’ views on racism. As a result, racism is determined as a multi-faceted occurrence that involves cognitive, ideological, and inborn forms of hostility. Thus, doctrines of Appiah are considered as pillars of political realism that is inherent to the judgments of thinker.

It is noteworthy to stress that the idea of the state has a particular meaning in terms of political realism that is included in the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. Thereby, thinker’s suppositions about social ...

Abstract

Criminology is one of the fields that rely on research to answer some phenomena. There are different data collection approaches, which criminology researchers could use to evaluate the performance or to understand a specific concept. Field observation is one of these methods. The method entails the collection of data from their natural setting. Investigative experts must adhere to specific elements and procedures when conducting data using the technique. The steps include answering questions that would guide the acceptance and the use of the technique to collect data. The subsequent step would be the determination of the type of field ...

The cultural appropriation of Black writers by their White counterparts has been controversial and laced with racial and prejudicial tendencies, as is common in the United States. Cultural appropriation has different spheres. Theft of identity and cultures can be done through other areas of the arts like music, dance, film, poetry, ...
