What Is Bias?
One kind of bias is a strong opinion about something. You can be biased in favor of
something or biased against it. In either case, you may have some facts to support
your position, but a bias is based more on feelings and opinions than on facts. In
some cases, bias results from a persons past experiences.

Student 1

Student 2

Do you support a charity?


I do. I think everybody should help support a charity. The reason
I support a charity is because I know people that the charity has
helped. Every charity does amazing work for people, so why
shouldnt we pledge our support?

I think everyone should support a charity, even if you are


struggling with money. Just think about the money that your
donating to the charity of your choice, the amount of smiles
that your making happen al because your money has either
made people walk again, hear again whatever problems they
had, have now been sorted and has changed their lifes.

How does your support help?

How would you like to have problems?

The support that you show to a charity helps with research that
is being carried out, especially if the charity is for an illness like
cancer or if its helping to build water wells that give clean water
to poorer countries where the water is often contaminated. An
example of this kind of charity is Water Aid. Your support could
simply help to fund the charity that you choose to help.

Everybody should think of others before themselves because


we dont realise how lucky we are to be able to do everything
that they would dream of doing. You should choose a charity
and support it forever, the mount of money you donate
doesnt matter about the loss of it because your changing
peoples lifes making them happy.

If I ruled the world, I would make everyone less judgemental.

If I ruled the world I would do my best to rule out poverty so


we could all live like equals. I would give every child a decent
education including Africa. As well as clean water and food. I
would do my best to ensure that everyone has a good quality
of life and that nobody suffers unless its of their own doing.
Everyone who has committed an unforgivable crime will be
dealt with immediately and officially unlike now, where
everyone gets away with everything.

From the moment someone is born they let their judgements


cloud the real issues. Occasionally youll meet someone with an
open mind but in todays society that would be very rare.
If I could make everyone actually see the world and everything in
it, problems would decrease. Without people being judged
theres no bullying. Thats what bullying is right? Judging if
someones weaker or small than you or even judging them just
because of their appearance. Without bullying people begin to
see others for who they truly are.

But my biggest aim would be to help the world wide


problems of endangered animals and insure that I do my best
to help them and rebuild their homes.

If I could rule the world I would attack these issues and make the
world a much happier place. Being judged is probably one of the
worst feelings in the world. You can take a kick and a punch
because youll know it will heal, but the thought of someone
judging you in their minds is enough to drive you crazy and lead
to accusations; you cant control how others see you.

I would help clean up the towns and cities help prevent


pollution the best we could so our children and our
grandchildren would not have to suffer our doing.
