Media Bias There is some form of bias in everything‚ especially in the media. When reporters break the news or journalists write an article they should remain impartial to the story and speak on factual information regarding the event that is being reported.

The story that was written regarding the

Question 1 To explain the distinction between Descriptive and Normative Statements one first has to understand the difference between Descriptive and Normative Ethics. Descriptive ethics primarily describes people’s moral beliefs‚ claims and behaviors. This form of ethics is studied primarily by psychologist‚ sociologist and anthropologist.

Availability bias can be somewhat confusing when information is subjective (Vozza‚ 2015).

The ’beauty bias‚’ where attractive people appear to have an advantage‚ isn’t just a rumor. There is evidence that it exists and that it leads to discrimination against less attractive people in a variety of areas‚ including hiring. Not only is it unfair‚ in some cases it’s illegal discrimination.

We have a tendency to draw inferences between people’s actions and their personalities. This is what’s known as a “correspondence bias‚ or attribution error.” These biases‚ or errors‚ occur when we automatically link what we view as “bad or inappropriate behaviors‚ with internal personality flaws‚ rather than taking into consideration possible external factors‚ such as environmental causes‚ that may account for the behavior in question. For example: when the clerk at Wal-Mart doesn’t smile while
