    Pitts suggests the reason for people's bias is because of our simple refusal to be wrong. He claims our bias is “the state of critical thinking these days: Ignore any inconvenient truth, any unsettling information that might force you to think or even look with new eyes upon, say, the edifice of justice. Accept only those ‘facts’ that support what you already believe.” Then, because our approach to critical thinking is shaped this way, Pitts believes that “when people are determined to believe a lie, there is nothing more futile than the

  • Essay On Personal Bias

    736 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is much easier to change someone’s mind if they have had an opinion on something for a week than if they have believed in something ever since they where a child, like in the case of a faith like religion. In the other hand, memory fades over time and the bias towards whatever we remembered fades with it. It would be a lot easier to convince someone that their gray car was black a decade after they sold it than if we where to try after a week. The severity of a topic is also going to have a huge impact on the scale of the bias since it will have a bigger importance in our minds and the initial decision will be created with a lot more caution making the bias big from the beginning. If a friend steals your pen you will likely end up being that person’s friend again but if your friend steals all your money and burns down your house then your mind is likely to stick with the intention of not becoming their friend again.
