Bias
There are 2 types of biases: Conscious (or explicit) bias and Unconscious (or implicit) bias.
Unconscious bias is far more prevalent than conscious prejudice and is often incompatible with our own conscious values. We should all try to become more aware of our implicit or unconscious bias so that when making important decisions we can take care to consider our actions to ensure they are not affected by bias.
