Everything is biased.
That’s just the way it is.
In fact, we seek out people with similar biases – whether it is sport, politics, fashion, religious beliefs, food, and whatever else, on a daily basis.
That newspaper that you are reading – completely biased.
That fiction or non-fiction book that you are reading. Yeah, biased.
Films made in Hollywood – biased.
This article – slightly biased.
Even the author of the most objective and scientific peer-reviewed papers in any academic database will also have tiny bits of bias in their findings.
That’s because every person comes from a different social, economic, religious, spiritual and whatever else background. It makes everyone slightly, or in other cases, vastly different.
It also makes objectivity impossible.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t aim to think objectively. Biases should be challenged. There is nothing wrong with analysing global issues from a different angle. And, one concept that challenges our way of thinking is art.
It attacks your conscious from a colourful angle. Yeah, it’s biased. But it makes you think. It makes you analyse issues that need to be analysed.
