Task Name: 

Mobile Friendly - Understanding Unconscious Bias

Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form
outside their own conscious awareness. Everyone holds unconscious beliefs about various social and
identity groups, and these biases stem from one's tendency to organize social worlds by
categorizing.

One's age, gender, gender identity physical abilities, religion, sexual orientation, weight, and many
other characteristics are subject to bias. Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain
groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness.

Person's age, sex, gender identity, physical abilities, religion, sexual orientation, weight and many
other characteristics are subject to prejudice. Unconscious prejudices are social stereotypes about
certain groups of people that individuals form outside their conscious awareness.

I have observed that people who do not fit into a certain pattern that the workplace suggests are
socially marginalized. I have seen, for example, colleagues who were of a different religion who
dressed differently and behaved differently were not welcomed in colleagues' groups. Even if on the
surface everything seemed fine, these people being avoided. The other situation I want to mention
relates to age. Older people are not welcome in younger people's groups, as they have the prejudice
that they don't keep up with younger people.

I think we all deserve to be accepted as we are. We may be different in the way we dress, act or in
terms of religion, but at the end of the day we are all the same. The young will grow old, those of a
different religion believe in something supreme.

We have to learn to really look at ourselves, not through the eyes of the society we live in but
through the prism of the soul. We could have been born in the place of those we judge and do not
accept today.

We judge by colour, wealth and gender identity. This needs to change because we are all human at
the end of the day.
