The survey that we were asked to utilize for the prompt "Comfort in Social Situations"
produced predicted findings. Overall, I feel at ease in the majority of the circumstances stated.
Given a score of 13, I received the highest score in Section E: Weight. I feel the data revealed
explicit biases, which may be explained by my beliefs about weight. I can attribute the explicit
weight prejudices to my past military service. There was certainly no holding offwhen it began
discussing this subject. Commanders, managers, and medical experts were not hesitant to speak
or warn you about it. I continue to observe it later on in my present professional field, and I
realize it since I have seen it personally in this field, as well as with others who are disabled
and/or larger and are perceived to be deficient based just on appearance.
With a score of nine, my lowest area was an even split between Part D: Disability and Part
F: Age. I've collaborated closely with people from many backgrounds and am usually at ease
around everyone. I wasn't surprised that my disability and age scores were low. Although I
dislike acknowledging it, I am highly judgemental and/or biassed towards race. That was an a
double-digit score, which was unsurprising but upsetting because I had never thought myself to
be biassed. However, once the figures are printed on paper, you can't refute the outcome. This, I
believe, is the product of implicit prejudice, perceptions, and subconscious emotions. This is
primarily based on media stories, social networks posts, and other reports, rather than firsthand
experience.
The survey results weren't too bad for me; there was some unconscious bias towards race,
but I understand why and under what conditions this could be a potential issue. As for my
explicit bias towards weight, I believe it won't affect me since it's more of a judgment than a bias.
Every type of bias, whether implicit or explicit, has its own set of challenges. I plan to interact
constructively with everyone by being conscious of my own biases, practicing mindful thinking,
and treating each person with respect.
