Do you think it’s possibly to get rid of ALL conscious and unconscious bias?

Question

Answer

No, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t all try our damndest.

Answer

No, our experiences through life shape our biases. We can consciously choose not to behave differently because of those biases but they will still be there. For example, a child is abused by a man with a large beard; she *might* have a bias against men with large beards throughout her life. Although she can consciously not treat bearded men differently or badly, she will still have that underlying bias/notion against them.

Answer

If you know a certain bias you have, yes, it’s always possible to overcome it and by over come it I mean not let it control your automatic reaction to it.  This can be done through therapy, self reflection and meditation.
Unconscious bias can be changed by intentional practise of a way of being...  However, if it’s unconscious you don’t know what it is.  If you know what it is, it is not unconscious.  You cannot know what is unconscious.

Answer

Absolutely not.

Answer

Unconscious bias is something you don’t realize is happening... so if you are not aware of the bias you can’t really erase it. Part of getting rid of a problem is being able to identify it.

Answer

No but we should try to get as close as we possibly can to eliminating them. Especially true for people in positions of power or authority.

Answer

Our brains use unconscious bias for efficiency purposes. There’s no way to get around it except by changing the input creating these biases in future generations. It’s most useful in times of “fight or flight” so there’s really no sitting down and rationalizing it.
