Understanding "Bias" in Simple English

Bias means having a strong opinion about something that is not always fair. It happens when someone likes or dislikes something or someone too much, without thinking carefully. Bias can make people see things in an unfair way.

Example of Bias:

Imagine a teacher likes students who wear blue shirts. Every time she gives grades, she gives higher marks to students in blue shirts, even if their answers are not the best. This is bias because she is not being fair—she is letting her personal opinion affect her decision.

Another Example of Bias:

Imagine two people apply for the same job. One of them is from the same town as the manager, and the other is from a different town. Even though both people have the same skills, the manager chooses the person from their town just because they feel more comfortable with them.

This is bias because the manager is not making a fair choice based on skills but is letting personal feelings affect the decision.
