Transcription de la présentation

  1. Author’s Bias

  2. What is author’s bias? • When an author states his or her point of view along with adding an opinion

  3. Determining Author’s Bias • the author uses inflammatory language: in the most extreme cases, racial epithets, slurs, etc.; • the author consistently makes claims whose larger purpose is to elevate (or demean) one social, ethnic, national, religious, or gender group as compared to another, or all others; • the author consciously presents evidence that serves to tell only one side of an event or issue, purposefully withholding or ignoring information that may shed the opposing view in a more positive light; • the author invents, falsifies and/or dishonestly cites evidence in order to present his or her case in a more positive light.

  4. Example “Pigeons are dirtier than you think. They eat trash and leave their droppings wherever they go. Pigeons also carry diseases. One time, I was bitten by a pigeon when I tried to shoo it away. I had to get a shot because the pigeon might have given me a disease.”

  5. Intentional vs Unintentional • Sometimes people use bias on purpose. For example, if you want to persuade someone, you present facts that support your position while leaving out points that don’t. • If you want your parents to order pizza for dinner, you might remind them that they wouldn’t have to cook. However, you probably wouldn’t mention that healthier, less expensive dinner options might be available.

  6. Intentional vs Unintentional • It occurs when a person tries to be accurate but does not have complete information. • For example: • Scientists used to think atoms looked like little solar systems. As more information about atoms was discovered, scientists realized their description of atomic structure was wrong. • They changed their theories and models based on new information.

  7. Not sure how to determine bias? • When you read something, ask yourself, “Where did the author get this information?” • Sometimes the answer can help you figure out how the author’s comments might be biased.
