In efforts to recognize the good in everyone, we cannot limit ourselves to the teachings of Lesson 3 where we include another person's perspective. We have to extend that conversation inward to examine our own bias and how they prevent us from even accessing the ability to consider a different perspective. This comes in many forms such as repeating stereotypes found in entertainment, intentionally perpetuating negative commentary based on a demographic, or even unconsciously reacting to a situation.
- Are you aware of a time when someone failed to see the good in you? What did it feel like?
- How do you confront bias?
