Unconscious Bias

Unconscious biases are our implicit people preferences, formed by our socialization, our experiences, and our exposure to others' views about other groups of people, for example in the media. Our experiences act as social filters which we use to make judgments and assessments of those around us. We are hard-wired to place people into different categories.
